The fact you can zoom in and see the inside with the crews just blows my mind. Like when people talk about games getting better in graphics, it's usually always just about the fidelity, hi-res textures, more geometry, like standard stuff. But to me, THIS is what is impressive with newer generation graphics. It looks so damn awesome and it makes it feel like your ship (or whatever you use in a game) is actually more than just some random thing on a screen with an invisible HP bar but like truly immersive and "real". You end up caring way more about trying to survive because you feel more attached to your ship/vehicle and crew.

The community was right long ago regarding the time compression. It's great that devs listen to the community

That third torp hit was just beautiful! "We miss... oh, never mind!" Imagine being on one of those three ships knowing that at any time a U-boat could be stalking you and calculating how to decimate you while you're chugging along at six knots. Scary!

So a few things from my playing of uboat awhile ago. Once the deck catches fire WAIT and see if the fire alone is enough to finish off the ship. Saves deck gun rounds many times that don't need to be used. The ricochet you saw was you had flipped the ammo from AP rounds to star shell rounds (SS) right before the ricochet thus were wasting some of those rounds. So yeah you used 30 AP rounds and all 5 of your SS rounds since you failed to notice the change. It takes time for the fire to do it's work (look at the solid green part of the health bar versus the darker green part of the bar. If you would just go into follow mode on the ship when the fire starts and wait to see if it gets sunk or the fire goes out prior to sinking. If the fire goes out resume shooting till she sinks or catches fire again. One reason to carry HE rounds and to aim for the deck to try to catch it on fire but obviously AP can also get the job done. Just less effective at starting fires with AP. AP rounds are more for punching holes close to the waterline to induce flooding.

i have never seen this game before very awesome!

It's similar to rimworlds settings... Free Simply means they would do absolutely nothing but relax, eat, sleep the works. Anything, they would do task according to the availability of the work as well as how busy it gets. Then rest if they feel like it. Work has no rest or doing "anything" they feel like.

I hope the Devs will later on make a surface ship game with these mechanics. Like play as Bismarck or Tirpitz in this style. Alternative history maybe where they survive. EDIT: The Nelson? Well if WoW has taught us anything, it's that the Nelson's damage control teams have an entire second Nelson stored away in the cargo hold and a LOT of flex tape

EXCELLENT! More sub sim content and it is break time from work. Really enjoy these. TY captain! O7

Yay! love more UBOAT! have yet to play it since a long time but might get back into it pretty soon as well that planning schedule thing seems like a great idea :)

The difference between "Anything" and "Free" is that in case of an emergency, crew members with regime set on "Free" won't work or help working, but in "Anything" setting they might be an all around help, if necessary. I really reccomend you to set at the beginning and the end of every shift about 2 nodes (analogically 2 hours) of "Anything". This would allow your crew members to chill out, while being available as an all around help if urgently needed. Similar system is in RimWorld, where each of the colonists (analogical to crew members in UBOOT) have their activities regulated by special timetable based regime, just as in this game. Additionally, RimWorld is having a "Recreation" and "Sleep" modules in timetable.

Never seen this game before, really interesting

The tonnage must be large, great job loved it.

Thanks for the walk-through!👍

BEAUTIFUL SALVO ON THE C3, IMPRESSED WITH THE UNENTENDED 3RD HIT.

I love this game play! Cant wait to see more!

this is such a cool simulation of a uboat. I like that you have to time the target from front to back

I honestly didn't know there were submarine sims! Very entertaining video and commentary man!

Thanks to you I had to rewatch Das Boot for the umpteenth time! :)

as a german uboot sailor i love that you say LOS instead of Fire!!... great vids

Just randomly found this episode. Aaand sub 😅 Good work. Entertaining, Good pace. Me likey.

this game is gorgeous. that view of the ships through the scope is the best ive seen in a sub game.

This game seems to be evolving nicely. You made a very good show of it this time.

Wow UBOAT looks good! I better buy it... Thanks Wolf I enjoy all your videos.....

My gawd... the water graphics are just plain SICK.

Great video!

Shiver me timbers... Had not heard of this game until right now. Dropped on Steam wishlist. Very promising!

Randomly lit on this vid. Looks like a fun time. Might get this game.

😆 I'd be the same way about the deck gun, I have OCD pretty bad... 👍

awesome video

Fun watch! got my like fer sher

Ive had this game since it came out, there is alot of bugs and stuff but this game has so much potential and overall is awesome!

Epic video! The new update is amazing and yes you should try the TDC when it's compatible. Coming back to the video you were the one firing flares on them 🤣

Keep on making these

Loving the details of the game.

oh reminds me how i loved SH3 with the best mods installed - my god...the times I thought I had free time :D

Thank god you are playing this now.

First time I have seen this game. I am impressed

great video

Nice. I hadn't realized it was available but it's been on my wish list for a long time. Hoping my current pc will run it (just hd 400 graphics and no actual video card). Great job on the video and at least I can watch it being played. Thanks.

Newer saw this game before. Have to try. Tnx

The work scheduling jobee is similar to the system used by Rimworld. It's a good system.

I really must bite the bullet and get this game - great vid!

wow! Finally!

Good work.

Good vidéo with this late upgrade.

I love how he keeps on going on about the deck gun not being centered ocd in so many vids

Wow, all these knowledge about submarines :D

Got an ad before the video about a product to stop leaks on ships, thinking they might need quite a lot for the ships in this video!

thanks for the vid great help i nearly bought this on steam.it looks as dull as paint drying cheers saved me some money

I was trying to find a good attack video for UBOAT game and this is spot on. Subscribed. Now i need to learn how to manually calculate the torpedoes as my officers are lazy pricks 😁

Would love a game like this for age of exploration kind of era

Woohoo, Uboat!

few tips about realism:The lower torpedo depth is needed to pass the boulge protection (on battleships) or to do larger amount of damage by a single torpedo to the else targets. It must be combined with detonator type. The impact one will work on hit, the magnetic one will explode in the vecinity of a large metal mass. So, for example if the enemy ship have 6 meters depth - you can set the torpedo's depth `bit lower and it will explode under the keel. It sounds weird but the water mass is heavier than the air one, so if the torpedo is detonated even in the vecinity of the ship's structure - the power of the explosion wave will destroy any kind of armor without any problem. (under keel there's none by the way). Also it can help if the enemy ship's bow angle is low (for example a pursuing destroyer). The impact detonator will not work but the magnetic one - yes but under the keel. The first types of magnetic detonators had some malfunctions (they could explode in case of big wave activity) but the impact ones also wasn't 100% working, so they was modernised all the time. Anyways, the explosion under the keel can be a fatal strike to any merchant or tanker even by one torpedo hit. To the modern battleships could be also but that depends from the hit region. The big warships usually have hermetic sectors and if the surviving officers will do their jobs - the ship can survive if the strike wasn't a fatal one. The old battleships had no bulge protection but the modern ones had, and their torpedo survivability was increased significantly. The boulge armor denied the most of the explosion. Also about the torps, the steam ones leave significant bubble tail. The electric ones also leave some bubbles but just from the fast propeller rotation without the propulsion engine bubbles, in case if the torpedo is deeply under the water - they even don't reach the surface. For the steam ones the high depth could save some time, the bubble tail was far behind the real torpedo position. Also the torps had protection system, they must travel some time before getting armed, a minimal action range limit usualy was set to (200-300meters). That was done to skip the accidents in case if the armed torps wasn't launched away from their tubes by some malfunction reasons, so if they not pass the needed distance - they will not arm&explode near or inside the uboat.

Do they plan on adding impact effects for the deck gun? Otherwise it's hard to tell if its hitting or not.

Not sure if you get to choose what type of ammo for your deck gun but HE shells would be more effective versus AP shells on a cargo ship. The AP rounds would most likely pass through.

Very good so far on this petrol. But to help you deck gun aiming. you need to time the rise and fall of the bow. fire just and you get to the bottom of movement.

Nice competition to silent hunter 3 plus cold waters I.e Cold War sub sim no need for the ole ones but nice to revisit old games.

The bubble trail might be so you can see exactly where they are at. Sometimes historical accuracy needs to be sacrificed for gameplay.

hmm, could you capture life rafts for renown, thatd be an interesting feature

Okay, I’ve been binge watching this whole series for the past 4 hours now. I need a game like this on my phone. Any body got any suggestions?

It's great that there's all this yelling and ringing alarms on a ship that's survival depends on being quiet :P

Games does look beautiful...and gameplay is starting to get really good...i watch your videos to try to learn how to more manually make a torpedo solution over just clicking on the ship in the menu...question, im cunfused as to how to figure out the angle for the target? Great video as always

I would say free would let your crew decide when to work and when they chose not to. More random setting but that is only my guess.

I wonder if that last ship if left unattacked would collect the survivors

Deck guns centred: how I feel in my JB

I'd just like to say that I appreciate you uploading in 1440p

I was going to sunk the HMS Nelson only to find the she was on shore and glitch all to hell I even reloaded the mission but same that was before the update we have currently

Impressive strategy game! Too complicated for me to want to learn though.

The best thing I ever did in this game was install the Das Boot music.

There is a submarine sim game called Wolfpack where you and a crew of players or bots control a submarine directly in first person

And Wolfpack stole my time again. That is so mean! :D

Cool ! Bought this sim as well, but had to upgrade my gear sensitively to be able to run this. Could free mean off duty ?

I really hope they add something to manually rig silent running and also a rework of the time compression in "conflict" zones. I had a lot of issues with the last one, especially while waiting for a specific target to pop out and suddenly getting shot and sunk during time compression. Flooding and damage also needs a tweak, maybe a damage control team that goes straight to the leaks instead of standing still :(

Hello, Wolfpack! I enjoyed the video, thanks! Do you maybe plan on recording more Wolfpack gameplay? I loved the videos you uploaded, and looking forward for more if you'd like to record! Cheers

someone should come up with a mod that changes this Uboat map view to something similar to SH3. It looks so gamey...

The crew schedule seems like Rimworld. Anything probably means they can either work or be off duty. Gives them a choice. Might be okay for overlapping officer's watches.

Yes

If the game has like some sort of morale or sanity meter then I assume that free means that during that time they do not have to do any work, meanwhile anything means they will work on tasks they are assigned to that need doing otherwise they will do whatever, they are basically on standby.

I like what i see

As we say in the UK "going down like a lead balloon"

i would guess free is time they spend with sleeping and card games, something like that off duty. and anything they do some task station which is free and useable and they are good at it

I usually dont like games like these But when I saw that you could First person in the submarine it blew my mind A question ; can you work with other battle ships like 2 v 2

Would only play if you could strafe survivers in the water.

I never adjust the torpedo depth. I haven’t seen it make a difference in the game. I thought the draft depth could be lowered in order to shoot underneath smaller ships in order to hit larger ships behind them

Possibly the best 10 bucks on steam I’ve ever spent.

i want the developers to make a WWII bomber simulator sooooo bad.... There was one in the 90's for the B-17 flying fortress. It was immersive, lots of things to keep your eye on. You really felt like you were managing a bomber crew. And I haven't seen anything like it since... The way they made this game tells me the devs really know how to make a sim EDIT: year 2000

Thanks wolfpack345 uboat and il2-sturmovik 2 more addictions to add to my list 😊 when u record vr on il2 sturmovik how do you stop screen edges shifting?? Using oculus mirror and record using obs. Keep up the good content capitan. 👍

do i have to get a mod or a setting in the game so that the fast forward is changed? i still have to old one

The graphics look good especially the cut away view of the submarine. But it seems as tough the sub can move around the enemy as if there is no danger. Maybe it would work somehow if the adversary is a human. Maybe I would borrow ideas from battle-net and have live players choose from a few scenarios. The convey must deliver while the U Boats Hunt. It must not be an easy challenge to solve. I can say that Silent Service for the 8 bit did send destroyers after as soon as torpedos hit. If gave it the feeling of an organic system. What do you guys think? How could a designer best bring the world alive? Thanks for the video.

You probably figured it out by now but here is my educated guess. (using rimworld as an example) Free-time is possibly recreation and anything means they will prioritize work that needs to be done then do recreation/free if there is not any.

Wish I could travel in time and amongst other things tell you not to bother with H.M.S Nelson: It only gives you a single potato. (More appropriate to say a spud, I guess)

You were shooting canister shot for AA there. You accidentally switched ammo type.

Great action. I really enjoy your game play. I do have a question though.... of the currently available submarine games which do you recommend for someone who knows nothing about subs. I'm more a flight sim guy but sub sims have always interested me. Thanks.

I'm guessing the Anything is they can be doing free time or work and the Free is strictly doing free time which would not let them work at all but rest

God they need to bring this game to the ps4

What are your system specs? I want to buy a laptop to run this game but I want to make sure its up for it. Great videos.

Is it possible to strafe the life rafts?

Dang. SH 3, SH 4, UBOAT and they're all potatoes when manning the deck gun!

Yep, KZfaq name checks out

Starting to look good, maybe not quite Silent Hunter 3 levels yet but still great graphic detail
