Thank you for the great tutorials! A nitpick though. I was a submariner and was one of the people that would help come up with firing solutions. What you are calling "bearing" when calculating with the point 1, point 2, and the protractor is actually the target's course. Bearing would be the angle from your ship, either absolute, where you are calculating from true north, or relative, where you are calculating the angle from your bow.

Sorry, you did first say course, but then as you're doing it started saying bearing. :)

Nice set of tutorials Salted! A quicker way to determine direction is to use points 1 and 2, as you did (point 2 being optional), but use your protractor to draw a line from point 1 through point 2 (or the bow of your boat) and end that line with a double click a bit beyond the bow. The protractors line will automagically give you the bearing of the line. Thus, you don't have to calculate the bearing.

@@Lite_lySalted in your opinion whats the best way to keep discipline high?

@Lite_lySalted 4 жыл бұрын

@@Jack-qk7tq The most effective method I have found is by using the benefits provided by vacations. Some of them have the added bonus of a +5 to discipline for 10 days, or similar. Without vacation bonuses; I stand by using multiple food types in the galley, a minimum of 3. That serves to offset general discipline issues from fatigue and short depths. Once your discipline depletes (ie, during long attack runs), there is no proven method of stopping it. You can do your best to slow the loss by avoiding using crew to help your officers where possible. A glitchy tip: I've found that if you have one of your officers begin playing cards with the crew just before entering a situation of "alarm" status; that officer will CONTINUE playing cards, so long as you do not try to move them to another station. This is likely a bug in B126, so don't count on it being useful for long. Hope that helps! Happy gaming!

The bit about the calculations got complicated fast. I’m going to need to watch this a few times and write stuff down. :) Question about torpedoes if that’s alright. You fired two at the cargo ship, but one was clearly enough. Redundancy of course.... but, per last vid but one, you start off with so few to complete your mission. For that matter, was this merchant armed? Would you ever close right in and use the deck gun to conserve your boom fish?

@Lite_lySalted 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! It's very common that one torp won't be enough. When closing with a convoy of merchants only, yes using the deck gun is an option. I prefer the fireworks myself ;) Some merchants, like the C3 or Liberty are armed, and can be identified as such by using the attack periscope

Hi Lite_ly Salted. Thanks for the awesome videos. I've had the game about 6 months but struggled with a range of concepts that you have made clear for me. I have two questions that I hope you may be able to answer for me. 1. when finding a target speed through the periscope using the chronometer, does the uboat have to be fully stopped (that's what i do now) 2. When on the surface in good weather and during the day, how close can you get to a target ship without being seen (approximately)?

Question about firing torpedoes. I haven't started playing the game yet, as I want to get through your entire series first and be better prepared. After putting yourself in a good position to fire, do you have to 1) do a full stop and 2) manually aim your boat at the vessel you're attacking? Or is aiming an automatic part of "getting a firing solution"? I assume, when you fire 2 torpedoes and they're aimed 40m apart, the boat turns ever so slightly between firing #1 and #2? (I'm assuming real boats also did this, as they can only fire a torpedo straight forward out of the tube, right?) Thanks for taking the time to do these tutorials!

Hi, please a clarification on your speed calculation. With your method I get the doubt that if my sub was traveling parallel and at the same speed as the target, the target would appear to be stationary, i.e. its bow would never pass the periscope centerline. I mean: how can I correctly calculate the target's speed if I am also moving? Or is this true: if I move, I must not be parallel to the target, and the game does all the calculations after the target's stern has passed the periscope line?

To aim the deck gun you need to go to first person mode and fire at it like any other fps game.

The game does not ask you for the AOB, it is calculated by the game itself by giving it the course of the target. The game knows position and bearing of the submarine and with the course of the target it calculates the AOB.

@@Lite_lySalted that brings up an interesting point. IIRC many uboats, especially late war, would fire and forget on convoys. They were crash dive attempts to disrupt allied supply lines while limiting kriegsmarine losses. I wonder how many uboat captains fired follow-up salvos at the same ships.

@@urungumburum3680 when you pick them up, use your map tools to place a mark, let a few minutes pass then place another. Use the ruler to sketch out a rough course for them and aim for a place ahead of them. Dive, and see how close you are then. You could also run your ventilator to keep your air running for longer if you choose to stay submerged.

If you are looking for targets then you can dive and listen for ships on the hydrophone. Once i find a ship i usually select an interception point manually and then i go there at flank speed. You have to use time compression to see where the convoy is heading. When i reach the point i stop and put an officer at the uzo. If they don't pick anything up i start over with the hydro again.

I think what did it for me, I had just reached a critical point with the targeting calculations which took a lot of time and concentration, suddenly my crew were all unconscious from lack of oxygen! There’s no option to roll back a few minutes to prevent this happening and I’m thinking it would be better if there was an option to let the game take care of things like this while I’m concentrating on the more complicated stuff. The micro-management is a bit over the top and sucks all of the enjoyment out of the game for me, it seems to be a very unforgiving game. It’s also a pity that the in-game tutorial is now obsolete, however I am going to try and run through it again and maybe come back to your videos at a later date if I can manage to improve my understanding.

Unfortunately it seems like this game is about micromanagement and not really a u-boat sim. Can you play this game without constantly telling everyone what to do? Also...most ships in WW2 did not burn when hit unless they were carrying fuel or ammo. Most of the time it was just a big thunk and a geyser of water and the ships would go down. Usually only one torpedo.
