In this UBOAT episode we take on the most difficult mission that UBOAT has to offer.....attacking Scapa Flow! Once we get past all the defenses that Scapa Flow has we must take on the even more daunting task of sinking the Royal Oak battleship. The naval base is littered with destroyers ready to drop depth charges on us as a moments notice and we have little to no room to dive to a safe depth once we launch our attack. Brace yourselves.
UBOAT is a WW2 submarine simulator game where you are a captain of a UBOAT. As the captain it will be up to you to ensure that you have all the necessary supplies for your UBOAT and be able to manage your crew. You will be faced with very tough challenges and even tougher decisions that you will have to make on the fly.
The UBOAT campaign takes place between 1939 - 1945 and will see you patrolling all over the Atlantic in hunt for lone ships and large convoys. After spotting your target you will have the challenge on manually imputing all the proper information before finally firing your torpedo and watching as you send thousands of tons worth of shipping to the bottom of the ocean. Did I mention that should you not want to use a torpedo to sink a ship, you have the mighty 88 mm deck gun!
Accept mission and be rewarded through a leveling system in game that allows you to upgrade your officers and give them special abilities that will help you in your future campaigns. Completing missions will also reward you with currency that you can use to upgrade your UBOAT and make it even more difficult for the enemy to discover you and better yet...sink you.
Buy equipment for you crew, gather information to acquire new specialized torpedo's, and send your officers on missions to discover new and special tasks through the world map.
This is your boat and you get to command it however you like. Happy hunting!

I think your problem you had with needing so many torps was mainly because of the lack of spread on the warship. They will have way more bulkheads and even if the damage in one place is severe it can be saved by the watertight compartments. You gotta think about it like how the titanic sank, the more flooding in different compartments means the more strain on the ship overall. With how much you were hitting one spot from both sides it's spine probably would have cracked, same good job but less cost effective lol. But also great work on just being able to get so much off and your evasions 10/10, just the ability to do that is way more impressive than the sinking.

Yup I hit her with 4 on one side with a nice dispersion and I finished her off with 1 on the opposite side. Now I just have to figure out how to leave.. I try to get around the island south but the escorts always find me and kill me. I hit the deck and go silent with everything and they just circle until they get a solution and kill me. I try and book it full speed and they still catch me.

Thank you for allowing me to learn from your mistakes here lol Though funnily enough it felt to me like it was easier for you than it was for me since they did latch onto me right away with active sonar. I decided to try this mission when exiting the dock on 18th of december. Got in there after dawn on 21st of december, came out in the night of 22nd and got home just before midnight on 23rd just in time for my sailors to get to their families for christmas. Knights Crosses are a pretty nice gift I'd say.

Personally, I would have waited for night and fired all torpedoes with a little spread but this was a job well done. Glad to hear you took those tips on hiding on the sea bed to heart. I watched a creator try to fight their way out of a similar situation to no success. Being clever is the only way to go.

@martinmyggestik292 5 ай бұрын

Don’t worry… It took Gunther 9 torpedos to sink this juggernaut in real life (a lot of them missed or didn't detonate). He had to relocate to reload and then return again. It must have been a little too exciting in that small strait.

@curebores646 8 ай бұрын

Rather than send all the torps at one spot you might have more success in sinking something if you spread them out a bit so that they are flooding multiple compartments rather than just one (assuming the damage model in this game is somewhat accurate, which I believe it is). Hitting the ship lower down in the water should also be more effective. If you check the ship identification chart it lists the ship's length and draught (how far the ship extends below the waterline, which you probably know). Using that you can then set the torpedo depth to be as low as possible without actually going under the ship (scraping the bottom might lead to detonator failures in the same way that trying to hit at a sharp angle does as the bottom is round but I'm not sure if the game models that. Probably best to not just set the absolute bottom of the ship to be safe), and for dispersion it's how far apart your torpedoes will be at the target if you've aimed correctly so assuming the ship is 100m long and you fire 4 torpedoes then a 20m dispersion will punch holes all the way from bow to stern with some margin for error, flood that entire side and likely sink it.

I have not tried this mission but have seen many videos of others failing horribly. Pretty funny that you not only succeeded not once, not twice but three times like that is beyond my ability to comprehend! Amazing to watch how easy you made it look. I wouldn’t say you were ever in danger really. You avoided everything completely

@crazedjester Жыл бұрын

A really good spot head to so you can get a clear shot is just the the north west of where the target is. Its a little circular beach head if you look on the map. You can get a torpedo off and then reverse into there and the enemy will hardly ever check that spot. That is where I went when I got to this mission the first time around.....after many failed attempts that is haha.

@EmirKATIRCI Жыл бұрын

Like the videos. Keep up the good work. A side note: battleships, carriers, battle cruisers etc... usually have torpedo belts that's why you needed that many torpedoes. You need magnetic triggers and send them under the ship so that they will blow below the torpedo belt and you wont need more. Only 1 or 2 well placed shots and they sink easy. Same goes for the cargo ships. one torpedo below the belt would do the job. You can find that info in the identification book. Only bad side is that your dud percentage can go up with magnetic triggers.

Idk but I noticed you did not use dispersion which would have knocked multiple holes around the ship. Could it be that you cannot stack damage on top of each other and that each hitbox is either damaged or not? I do not know the details of the model but I heard Salty talk about T5 torpedos and propeller hitbox and that more than one torpedo will not make a difference. Would be nice to hear from someone that know the answer to this.

I’m not sure if you are using re-shade, but I would recommend it if you want to make the game look better. Although it does affect your computers performance due to the better visuals, it doesn’t affect your save files.

The problem with a surface approach in daylight was the shore batterys and OP's . Particulalry by the anti-sub nets. Not to mention the air patrols and destroyer screens outside the three enteances. In reality you would have to do a night time submerged approach.

@@crazedjester Why do you think Scapa Flow was used in the first place? :-) A right bugger to attack. It is also why, from memory, the only successful attack was through the southern entrance which was deeper but a more dangerous approach.

Sorry mate, but that battleship you hit was NOT the HMS Royal Oak. The Royal Oak was a Revenge class battleship; the ship you hit was a Nelson class battleship. Note the unconventional arrangement of three 16-inch main gun turrets on the foredeck. So that is either HMS Nelson or HMS Rodney you have hit, not HMS Royal Oak! It probably took you so many torpedoes to sink the ship, because all your fish hit the ship in the same place; you forgot to launch them in a spread so that each torpedo strike impacts a different part along the length of the hull, thereby creating more holes and letting more water in faster. That was insane to take U-48 into Scapa Flow in broad daylight, by the way! When Gunther Preen sank HMS Royal Oak on October 14th 1939, he did it on the surface at night under the cover of darkness! That crew of yours certainly have balls of steel to conduct the attack albeit at periscope depth in daylight. The British observers, both onshore and offshore, should receive a Court Martial and be drummed out of the Senior Service for incompetence! If you wonder what the Senior Service I'm referring to is: The Royal Navy is known as the Senior Service because it was the oldest of the British professional armed forces to enter service back in Tudor times.

I played it on medium AI difficulty, went in balls deep and fired torpedoes from like 1km away perfect 90d angle. They dropped on me tons of explosives since they were all around me but somehow they all missed. Well obviously I was on forward 5 making last second sharp turns to evade but I'm still amazed I managed to get out of there alive with so little depth to work with. At some points I had 4 ships right on top of me and they just kept taking turns lol.
