UBOAT Tutorial | A full Beginners Guide to get started | Convoy Attack Guide

- In this UBOAT tutorial I walk you through how to operate your UBOAT. I will show you how to properly get started as a newcomer to this game and provide you with all the necessary information that will have you out in the open sea and sinking ships in no time.
In this tutorial we will go over how to operate your UBOAT, how to accept missions, crew management, supplies and finally how to attack a convoy and ensure that your torpedo strikes the target on the first try.
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!

Thank you all for watching! Comment down below if this helped you or not so I can better improve it for next time.
thank you for the tutorial. i appreciate how you chose to present it!
I agree!
On the crews , I found reading the text informs you of weather they are good or bad for sub service, i picked one that was angry and short tempered , he cracked first miss under pressure , Had to punch him out and put him in bed ,Kicked him soon as we made port.
I've read that there's no option to order your entire crew to run to the front (Bow) of the submarine to speed up the dive, which is unfortunate. Can you select the crew members individually and have them all gather in the same room though? Curious if it would make a difference.
@@AdamsOlympia Would be a great feature, but that just isn't an option as of yet =(. Having your crew go there individually would not do anything either.
You should do more tutorial videos. you have a great, clear and uncluttered way of explaining the game mechanics
Thanks so much Wheely! I will consider doing more in the future now
@@crazedjester I'll watch out for them 😁
I bought this not long after it was available, tried it a bit and was overwhelmed along with not having time to figure it out. Decided to give it a go again, this video really helps getting started. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thanks so much Bravic! Happy hunting!
go from a 3 schedule sailor crew, to a 2 schedule, note you only have 18 sailors ,the game allows you to assign more.
i use 6-6-1-1-1-1-2 so 2 sailor crews of 6,1 sailor for every officer, and 2 sailors for the captain.
the 6 sailor crews ,rotate every six hours, as do the 2 engineers 1 for every sailor crew ,this also applies to the captain ,and first officer.
the radio officer has a custom setup.
(there are always 6 sailors on shift,1engineer,and 1 watch officer for navigation, +there 2 sailors)
also i like to give all my sailors the same outfit, and my officers a custom outfit.
give bulkheads the highest priority for sailors, and close them when at sea. ( you need advanced crew management enabled)
always check depth before diving,(you can do this in the main room).
Excellent. Good recommendation.
07 thank you
Clear enunciation and professional grade audio. Content was succint and amazingly summarized. Thank you so, so much for a quality video.
Thank you Phoenix! Let me know how your game goes when you start
GREAT vid. Awesome help. Answered every question I had. Thanks.
Picked up it recently. Very good video, thanks. This game is very interesting.
Excellent video. Thank you for your hard work. Really appreciated.
Thank you Holliday!
Brilliantly explained I have never played games like this b4 ive watch people play SH3 and thought it be way to hard but um going to get this game and study and work if this vid thanks alot 👍
Great tutorial.... Please do more.... A great, clear and concise explanation!!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Great vid. I learned quite a bit. Thanks.
excellent video. I played through the tutorials and then started the campaign. I wish the tutorial went in to the use of the ruler, protractor, etc and explained the set up for aiming. Please keep the videos coming.
Thank you! it really helped me and now i can do more than only staying in port so ty!
Really happy to hear this helped a lot! Now get out there and accumulate some tonnage!
Just got the game and your tutorial was extremely helpful.
Thanks so much Gambit! Let me know how your first career goes!
Just bought over the weekend. Using all the fancy widgets seemed overwhelming but you make it easier to understand. Thank you. Bought after watching some of your vids actually lol. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much Jon! Let me know how your campaign is going!
I give you another 2-3mths and you'll ditch it I know I did, it's too complicated they want you to chart out the ship you're targeting it's path, speed, angles of the bow, stern/aft no joke unless you served in the Navy irl there's no way to get the hang of it. Plus they ruined crew management it used to be far easier less clicking. Take a peek at the mods workshop via Steam there are a whole lot of cool ones esp ones that give that "Das Boot" feel. Maybe you'll like it more than I did best of luck to you!! 🤞🙏
Great Video! I prefer the T1 torps until T3 and up are available. They're more reliable cold (for the times you can't, or forget to warm them up) and the speed control let's you have some options when timing hits against multiple ships.
Thanks man ! It works well.
Holy cow! I've been waiting on this CJ - Thank you! Bought this when it first came out and never played - intimidated by the crew scheduling/management. Old SilentHunter player from eons ago, so the map/math was my favorite part. Appreciate your effort here buddy!
Let me know how you get along in the game!
@@crazedjester Great guide and had good success with it, but one question: I have trouble after locating ships and trying to get a good angle on them. Usually after locating them with the hydro I need to go up thus losing the signal. Then I can only roughly estimate where they gonna end up with the old intersection course and the ruler on the map. But that is quite tedious and sometimes frustrating if the ships are having a course going sideways or away from me.
Do you have advice for getting in a good range and angle for especially warships?
@@maxschulz6185 Honestly, I have always used the ruler to map out a rough line as to where they are heading. Whether they are heading North to south or east to west or vice versa, I always use the ruler, but I will mark the point that I locate then and then time compress a little to get another mark down and then intersect the line.
Once I have that and surface to get ahead, I will make sure that I move well ahead of the convoy which will allow me to submerge and then once I locate them again with the hrydo, I will have plenty of distance to get in a great position. Now if they in that time change course completely and instead of heading east they change to north then I have to spend more time getting into another position. It can certainly be tedious, but for me this is has been what really works for me.
@@crazedjester thanks for the answer, then Im doing it not entirely wrong as I try ploting the course with a ruler too.
I guess I need to get a feel for how fast under time compression the fleet is actually moving and trying to predict the less time consuming ambush point.
Cause sometimes I get the feeling that I wait for days xD
Thx for the tutorial. Easy and clear to understand
Thank you Morten! Let me know how you game comes along after watching this
great tutorial. Thank you
Great tutorial. Thanks for taking the time
Thank you Daniel
thank you, great video
This was great thank you. Just bought the game this week and was over whelemed before watching this
Thank you David. Let me know how your first game goes!!!
Thank you so much for this video. Good work.
You're very welcome!
This was perfect. Thank you
Now go have an amazing time in UBOATs, Luke!
Awesome help. Much appreciated!
Thank you Hyena! Let me know how you get along in your campaign
@@crazedjester I've got about 6 hours in, but VERY slowly. I take the game at a generally slow pace, submerging as much as possible and only surfacing to refill air and battery- but I'm getting there!
This helped a lot. Thank you
You're welcome!
def helped. Thank you!
Happy hunting!
I dont have the game and never played, but enjoy watching you play
Thank you for your support Looqmann
Great job CJ
Thank you!
Wow...great Tutorial! Can you pls do more? Thx!
i baught the game just today, have seen the game 1-2 years ago in steam but now it was on heavy sale and new uboats are announced.
i tried to sink 2 destroyers during my first "real" mission but i havnt figured out how the angle thing works.
thank you, will try it. happy hunting
Happy hunting!
You generally don't want to attack destroyers. They have little tonnage, and sinking war ships doesn't grant you any bonuses. Attack freighters and tankers, avoid warships and planes. The method the video describes is a bit cheesy, as the tactical map gives you perfect information currently. How you actually use the "angle thing" is you adjust the arrow to how you see the ship. In the older version (which you get into using the slider) you had to set it to the relative bow angle
Looks good 👍
Thank you so much for this vid
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this, bought this game 2 days ago. I was noobing it out and letting the crew do all the work for me, it was taking forever..sometimes ships would be gone before Icould get a lock on, this is really easier than i thought!
So glad this was able to help you out Nailbomb! The game gets to a whole new level of fun once you can start sinking ships =)
Odd my ai crew never had issues with missing anything that's skipper related not crew related so it wasn't the crew but you that was sucking.
thank you !
Good video's Bro! Keep the good work!
Thank you Portawolf
Thank god you just made this. I got the game a couple days ago and didnt know what the hell i was doing 😂
Let me know how you get along in your game!
I'm subs because this tutorial.Very usefull for beginner.🥰
Thanks so much Vallentino
I just got the game, and on my 2nd mission (mine laying, so I only could bring 5 torpedos) I sunk 3 merchant ships and 3 PT boats using the torpedos, the 8.8cm, and the AA gun. Then I was sunk because I ran out of parts, but still the most fun in a game I had in a while
That is a really awesome run! Being able to do that with only 5 torps is a real victory!
That course is actually the angel on Bow. Since your "tactical map" is oriented north up, if it was heading 080 or 067 it would be heading East... but if that were the course of the ship it would be closer to like 220* true. The protractor is measuring the angle the vessel is crossing your bow and it's measured from the target vessel which has a port aspect in this case. It's not a big deal with the game's arcade style Target solution, but will be much more important once the TDC update is released next month. Love the video, I have so much fun with this game. The gripe I have with this game is the ship AI, they don't behave much like you would expect in a war.
Ah thank you so much for this information 3mate1! I will need to work on this ASAP
Thanks, sir
Watched this guide before i even started the game for the first time and it proved really helpful, thank you.
College degrees are helpful and unfortunately I'm not smart enough to play that boring game.
This is how tutorials should be done. Not boring the crap out of me with bla bla and artificial increases of clip length
Thank you Hans!
Great video
Thanks!
I picked this game up last night for $10 played it for an hour and it seems solid
Just wait until the full release in a couple months!
@@crazedjester I liked it enough that at that price I sent a copy to a discord buddy. It’s a good sub game
Thank you for this tutorial! Does the game really not offer a tutorial on torpedo attack??? All I could find was the basic lesson on getting your crew to do it all for you. Being able to practice a tutorial hands-on, like in SH4, is extremely useful.
I believe there is a very basic tutorial on torpedo attack through the officer at the dock near your boat
Just bought this game. Like your intro, because videos started showing up on my feed and I decided to try the game. I have no submarine experience at all.
The in game tutorials did not explain this nearly enough for me and I actually missed all my torpedos in the tutorial…repeatedly and could not figure it out.
I am looking forward to trying again with this information.
Let me know how your second games go Hunter!
Still had problems but just realized something I missed while watching the first few times. I did not understand that the degrees and distance you plugged in lined up with the ship when you fired. You did the degrees ahead of the ship because you were explaining and then measured distance to the target one it intersected with the angle.
Long version short I was aiming in front of the ship and firing too early. I think I will try again in a few days and wait for the bloody ship to actually be at the points I do the math on. I am hoping this has finally clicked in my brain.
thanks it's gonna be very useful, since in game tutorials are broken
Glad this was helpful for you Pawel. Let me know how your games go when you start playing
Nice video! really enjoying your video series production and the novelistic introduction you give on each episode. I´d like to ask if there is any hot key to get the SUB to periscope depth at once, rather than clicking on the respective icon or over the depth gauge. Like for instance: in SH3 or SH4 you can use "P" for Periscope depth , "C" for crash dive, "S" to surface. I noticed sometimes "H" works in UBOAT but not always. Thanks for any advice.
Thanks so much Juan! I don't believe there is a specific hot key for periscope depth unfortunately =( I know F5 is depth control, but that is it. Maybe when they add the full release they will add hot keys such as this.
Great video. Thank you. Just wish there was a MP mode for training. Where a player could accompany a beginner and guide them through the game itself. This sim is amazing , but intimidating for a noob beginner like myself.
MP would be amazing. You're going to get it down super quick King! Keep going!
@@crazedjester appreciate the confidence. This is a great game. Just want to learn it well.
You can get pc trainers for it that make it easier for folks who aren't ex military js.
I really like the look of this...I've played Silent Hunter III and IV a lot and this seems very similar but with a few extra nice bits added on. I think I may well purchase this game. Just one thing though...I know it was a tutorial video but am wondering if their is a penalty for attacking neutral ( in this case Porugese) shipping?
Really hope you get it Keith! So there is an option to board neutral ships in this game. As you board you will see if they are truly neutral or if they are in fact and enemy ship flying a false flag.
I like to blitz morale to 0 early to find the cowards before I find out in a real stressful situation
How do you Blitz morale ? I made the mistake of specializing 4 sailors before I found out that 2 of them were cowards.
Turn on the alarm, assign all of your sailors to officers, and sit at max depth until you run low on air. Bonus points if you're crash diving from a real spotting of a destroyer. Surface to regenerate air then repeat. I usually do it at the end of a few patrols so moral regen is already lower and I can give the sea dogs a well earned vacation to the Alps.
@@dorgodorato Nice. Thank You
@@dorgodorato I tried this. My crew never panicked at 260m's.Not a single one.
Then CRUSH DEPTH. Well atleast they stayed cool till the very end. 😄
Yeah, discipline has to be on the down side before you can start. Which is why it needs to be at the end of a too long deployment and/or actually upset a destroyer. Once you see discipline not at 100% durning normal transit you know it’s time.
Great video! I updated and ran or tried to run tutorial again, but it was super buggy and lots of issues. Torps wouldn't reload even after assigning a crew member.
hmmm I can't even guess why it would be so buggy for you =(
Cool. Considering picking this game up. Just a note, that ship was sailing under a Portuguese flag, not sure you should have sunk that one :)
Haha spies.....
Crush depth for those boats was 250+ so in theory 240-245 should be your max dive depth to avoid a crush.
Also, great video I was noobin it before I watched this. My gameplay has improved drastically.
Thanks so much Dr. Kangaroo! Really awesome to read that your gameplay has improved and you're enjoying it =)
thanks
You're welcome!
here b4 1k subs
Thanks so much Skies!
Thank you lots for this video, i have just one question after watching, how do you time your shots? Because it seemed like you did not time it at all, like all that mattered was the angle. I remember from silent hunter (5) it had 3 numbers on the map which you could line up to time your shot (easy mode i guess) but here i am at a loss in how to time my shots.
yeah I think the angle is what matters most in UBOAT
Really enjoying and learning a lot with your tutorials, THANKS. Them helped me a lot when it comes to preparing the Sub for sail, aiming the torpedo shots and using the deck gun. I hope you´ve made some for avoiding depht charges and repairing damages from DC. I had played SH4 mostly and know how to evade destroyers from the map view, the depth layer zone, silent running. I´ve not seen any damage report window nor repairing team setup. Hope you can make more videos on some of these issues. If done please address some so I can watch to learn and keep enjoying.
Glad these are helping you! I will look into those other issues you addressed
Picked this game up when it first launched, put 50 hours into it for the first few weeks but haven't touched it after that. That was over 2 years ago. Now I'm more than a little rusty. My main problem is finding ships and convoys. I submerge and find a lot of contacts however I always fail to find them when I wish to engage, it's almost like the disappear when I resurface.
Anyway I'm saying all of this before I even start the video, I just figured I'd vent my frustration.
I had the same problem when I was first starting out. Best advice I can give you is once you locate them with hydrophone, get the ruler out and draw a line on their relative course. That way when you surface and lose your hydrophone abilities since you're not under water you'll at least have an idea of the direction you should go. Do not stay surface for too terribly long though. You'll want to travel about ~10km and then go back under and use your hydrophone again. It is not uncommon that ships will change their course, but this should help you finally get those awesome engagement going! Hope this and the video really help
@@crazedjester I always use the ruler method however the fact that they may change course never occurred to me. I’d plot their course, lay in wait for 1-2 ingame days for them to cross my path yet they would never appear, then I’d resubmerge only to see they’re miles away from where I predicted them to be with the ruler method. Thanks for the advice!
I disagree with you on the hydraphone that involves going under water which is fuel wasted for a vessel known as the Uboat that hunted on the surface, they aren't submarines they can't fully submerge!! Geez yall are lost
@@VGT856 what
Being off by a few degrees in target course is not going to cause you to miss, assuming a 90 degree attack.
Also, it should be pointed out that the target was a War class tanker, not an Empire Bell freighter. It saying "Tanker" next to the identification book icon is a clue. This would have caused a miss if you had attacked at 3km due to the incorrect speed estimation.
Happy hunting!
I love Silent Hunter 3, I can tell by your game play techniques you've played SH3. I just bought an upgraded gaming PC and can't wait to get started playing UBOAT.
Thats awesome Clint! Let me know how your UBOAT campaign goes! Would love to hear about it
Jester, Uboat sucks and the devs are jerks why would you help promote sales for cold hearted people?
Nice video! very helpful
But one question, how do you approach the convoy without being spotted, do you have any advice for that?
usually I zoom ahead of the convoy and then slowly approach at periscope depth and forward 1. If destroyers are in the convoy then I turn off any loud equipment and use electric engines
Thank you for answering! Ill try it for next time, im new in uboat but its so cool and amazing, thanks
07 thank you
I saw this game is still an early access game, is it worth purchasing now, is there enough content to give many hours of fun. Thanks for the tutorial.
They came out with a massive update that released a good amount of content. I feel it is worth the buy honestly. You could wait until the next big steam sale and then it will drop a lot for price
If you pick darker nights, use orange filter to see in the dark.
Great piece of advice here
Just picked this up and trying to sort it out. When setting up an attack, how do you get your boat in a 90 degree parallel to the target? Do you get their course first then just drive around to 90?
You're going to love it. Yeah usually when you are using the hydrophone you'll be able to see the relative direction that the enemy ship is traveling. Then you can just set up your ambush and a rough 90 until it come into sight. Once in sight you can plot its true course and that just adjust your boat as needed to achieve that 90
Just got the game and even with your help, i dont get it, but im gonna fire it up for the first time. Wish me luck semen... oh i meant seamen
lol. Just take it slow and don't rush anything. Start small as a new skipper and go after solo cargo ships so you can get the hang of it and then work your way up to large convoys
@@crazedjester none of my torpedoes detonate. No matter if they are warmed up. Or the distance i fire them from
@@kaarejohansen hmmm I can't think of why that would happen. Especially if they are warmed up. There is a chance they don't go off, but not every single torpedo. Keep trying and see if one detonates soon.
@@crazedjester ive fired like 16 torpedoes and none explode so i just surface and sink them with the 88mm on deck :p
@@kaarejohansen Well I am glad you're getting them sunk! So weird that none of them are exploding though. Never experienced that haha. Hopefully they start to detonate soon!
I've not played this game. My favorite sub game is Silent Hunter 4 (I never bought SH 5; too many bad reviews). I'm looking at this game during 2023 Summer Steam Sale. Couple questions:
1) Can you use the Dick O'Kane targeting method.? I assume so.
2) How do you compute target speed if target is not 90 degrees to you? In SH4, we use the Navigation/Targeting map. Take a couple distance readings. Plot target course. Calculate speed based upon distance the target travelled during that amount of time. But this assumes target is 90 degrees to you and not travelling at an angle towards you. As I watched the video, I see that the speed is calculated almost immediately before launching. Watched another video (I guess it was Expert) where target speed was computed: (Ship_Length*2)/time (in secs), from bow to stern
For any SH4 players, how do you like Uboat compared to SH4? I see there's much more crew management for Uboat. Anything else stand out?
sidebar: I've been playing sub games since Gato on MSDOS. I'm a developer. A couple of my first games I wrote were sub games.
1) I personally don't know this method, but I am sure you can.
2) Be at a 90 degree angle or close to it and go into attack periscope. As soon as the front of the ships touches your cross hairs you start the stop watch. When the end of the ship touches your crosshairs you stop the stopwatch. The computer then calculates the speed.
I will say that you know far more about sub games than I do, but what I can say is that I feel as though SH was made for the hard core simulator gamer that wants that full immersion. UBOAT was made with the intention of allowing the average gamer to come in and get the hang of a sub sim pretty quickly. You don't have to do as much calculations on hardcore mode in UBOAT as you have to with SH. Still a fun game which will present you with a lot of challenges.
@@crazedjester thank you for your response. I just now bought the game and have been watching several videos to get the hang of the game.
Here's a great video on the O'Kane method. I'll apply it to Uboat. I believe the results should be the same. Before using O'Kane in SH4, targeting was difficult. First time I used the method, I put four torpedoes into a ship exactly where I aimed.
ruclips.net/video/2k5yJI6Z5AU/видео.html
Great thing about O'Kane is that distance to target is irrelevant. You need only target path and speed and AoB.
@@RamblinRick_ I'll watch this video right now. Thank you! Let me know what you think of UBOAT in comparison to SH.
Thanks for this but I am playing it arcade mode even it is hard.
I played the game a few years ago and wanted to plan my comeback just to see that there are difficulty settings? where they there back in the day, I dont remember but I think not or am I wrong?
You could do minor changes to difficulty on crew and over all mechanics, but I believe they went a bit more in depth with this new patch
If stranded from no fuel or dead batteries how do you call for help? I have run battery low and just surfaced and turned on the diesel engine to recharge. I have never been able to cal for help. If there is a way please post. Thanks .
I believe you use your radio man to radio in a supply uboat. When it arrives then it will have what you need. I have personally never had to use it, but I know there are uboats that travel around with supplies
In general milk cows have to be earned. If you call for Re supply it will say no milk cow in your area.
Just downloaded it watching it after crashing
How do you launch sonar decoys I only see old tutorials on how to do this. Do you know how to?
I do it manually. Get a crew member and go into first person. Go to where they are stored which is in the store room by the kitchen. Once you have them in your officers inventory then walk to the rear of the boat and you will see a pipe next to the rear torpedo where you can launch it
Is the mechanics in uboat game similar to silent hunter? I remember that in Silent Hunt it was best to use magnetic fuses and set the torpedoes so that they were gently UNDER the ship. This always guaranteed a hit, and in addition, sometimes 1 torpedo was enough to sink the entire ship. In addition, it was possible to set the torpedo to hit a specific part of the ship. Is it like that in uboat too?
I think silent hunter is just a bit more in depth compared to this game in my opinion. This game seems to be a bit more user friendly allowing new comers to the sub games to hit the ground running with little training.
Exactly Jester, SH is dumb compared to the old school arcade naval games. Maybe more people would play SH if it wasn't so claustrophobic and restricted, I will say that Uboat offers more freedom in game vs SH where you never see the exterior of the vessel. SH should be text based lmao
Yep it's because of videos like this I to the game . And now playing with mods . Spend like 3 hours hunting and dud torpedo. Can't dive deep to hide get depth charged can't fix the boat so just start again. I'll get it eventually. But how do u repair a light ? Do I buy bulbs?
Glad you're getting out there and not giving up! Do lights really go out? I Have not had that problem yet lol
@@crazedjester yes. After a fight. My boat works on flash lights. I feel sorry for the cook and whom ever goes to the toilet. Don't worry about flushing the whole officer compartment is flooded. Lol .
@@paradoxxaudiovisualproduct9430 lol oh nnnooo
Im gonna be new to not only the uboat world, but pc world as a whole. Does boat choice effect the story aside from difficult? Also should i choose the earliest boat possible, is there a possibility where my side wins? Not saying i wanted germany to win back then obviously, but if im going to fight a virtual war i dont want to fight a war i will automatically lose anyway
The earlier boats start near the start of the war so you will get some missions that you wouldn't get if you picked a later model. Victory conditions....I have never actually beaten the game and not sure if there are victory conditions to be honest. Might be something they add in the full release
@@crazedjester looking forward to finding out! Addmittedly the game does feel like it will be overwhelming to start with a steep learning curve, especially when attacking larger convoys. Looking forward to the challenge
I need a bit of advice. My Quartermaster isn't getting me canned bread and pork to give to survivors. What do I have to do to fix this?
Thanks.
Not too sure if maybe it's bugged. You could try and get those supplies with your captain and see if you can hand them over
@@crazedjester how do I make the Captain get the supplies?
that frieghter seemed to sink way too fast lol
The thing that you recommend to choose hardcore and all setings on hard even for begginers is kinda weird 🤣🤣 I'm scared to get this game.
Haha no no....I think that 100% beginner settings is just ridiculously easy. You as a player barely have to lift a finger. This method wont teach you anything =(. A nice medium setting is great for starters. Wait for a steam sale and try it out!
also, waiting for auto targeting takes too long.
Great video but I must be doing something wrong cuz when I fire my torpedoes they go the opposite way..lol
Check your angle on the bow and just make sure that is set up in the same direction that the boat is traveling. I am thinking that might be the possible problem
i have a question how do u get reputation points well i should say i had a 1 under mine and i went to use it and after restocking my uboat it was gone and i couldn't use it and now its on 0 an help would be helpful cheers
You get rep points by completing patrols, taking enemy crew captive, and giving food to castaways. The only way they should get used is research, buying favors, promoting sailors, or as punishment for sinking neutral ships.
@@Vipre- cheers I thought it might be something like tht just got confused why it disappeared after just restocking my uboat with torpedoes as went to do research and it was gone as soon as I opened HQ
I've found one of the easiest ways to gain reputation is to pick up captains and mechanics from lifeboats after sinking ships. Once you return to port you can either select "crew" under the drop down menu or talk to the recruitment officer in order to free the prisoners and earn some easy reputation points.
@@cwiskey ill try tht
If you take 100 of some food type with you you can gain roughly 1 point per 5 ships sunk that plus the captains and mechanics is just about a guaranteed 2 points minimum per patrol.
How do i get close ebough to shoot
gain distance from the enemy by following their line. Then be set up and ready to go so they sail right in front of you. I usually gain a lead of about 3km and then I will just sit there and wait for them.
Man I really wanna get into this game but its just too difficult.
Try with all the settings on easy and just slowly work your way up. It's still just as fun and you can take it one thing at a time
How to zoom in to identify ships???
You can press "n" to free look around and then zoom into the name on the ship if that is what you mean by identify. Otherwise you need to go through the ship manual in your targeting window and match the picture of the ship to the one you're looking at.
@@crazedjester I found out! Thanks for a fast reply!👍👍
I cant get doen the ladder to talk to the officer
Look for the icon that says "click" that way you can click and then climb down the ladder. If that does not work, try ordering your captain to bed or to another station and he will climb down automatically.
How do you pass Port 26
Unfortunately I am not entirely sure how you do that.
Any ideas to get the game to pass loading..ugh..
I am assuming you might have already tried this, but uninstall and reinstall the game. I have always had success with that
See if you overwrite your save files, this can lead to very long load time, can access the loot on deck and stuff.
How to change view like 24:31 man😅
Press "N"
@@crazedjester thank you man I had found that by pressing all buttons
controls in dis game iz t00 hard for me. want ez
You'll have them down in no time if you start with easy mode
could not even leave the port
You'll get there Dweller! Just keep trying and once you're out it will be a whole new game for you
you are literally just reading the text and saying your teaching me. I want a video from you that has how to approach and attack people without suffocating your crew. Why is this difficult?
Ill work on a video that is more focused on an attack approach. Thanks for bringing this up Wakko
@@crazedjester no thank you. that would be super helpful. I have been screwing up the approach for about a week now. Sometimes I find stuff and stometimes i get chased by a warship cause I just don't know how to operate before contact. When I am cruising around looking for trouble. There seems to be a delicate balance between cruising on the surface and cruising at periscope depth. I normally try to get quickly to my zone of operation but then I try to dip under the waves and hydrophone. Am I supposed to stay at the depth as much as possible? should I go lower? How do i go lower without slamming into the bottom? I am playing UBExpanded and not sure how to research all the stuffs. Seems like alot of the research advice you gave is exclusive to an older version of the game that no one plays. I appreciate any help you could give me. This game is a real sleeper hit.
maybe you cover this in tutorial but recently got this game (2024) and was just damaged by a plane, some sailors were critically injured had some leaks,,,anyway i told the captain to get some medipacks...but then why the hell could he not use them, or and this tbh basically means it is game over not to mention completely dumb and illogival, for such a ridiculous reason, but he could not even give the medipack to another officer,,, what happens if those officers are incapacitated?....i'm watching your video now so as i said i don't know whether you cover this .. but it really is frustrating earlier i had a bug which basically made completing the tutorial impossible.. in the simk to freighters tutorial 3 sunk 1 but the second using the deck gun was impossible.. ..and trust me it wasn't me it's the game itself even now in 2024...if you want i can explain ...
cheers
Yeah you have to make sure its your medic on board who is using the meds packs. For me its my radioman who is the medic. I believe in their perks when they upgrade you can also put a point into a medic trait. If he is injured though and cant heal other guys then you are out of luck =(. Need to go back to port and recruit new officers
@@crazedjester always good to know why..
@@crazedjester well better knowing late than never...thx.
uboat graphic intel hd 4400
are you currently playing?
you skipped teh approach to the ship part. Watch the video. you assumed that we understood how to get close enough to take a shot at them without being spotted. You are wrong. You know how but we do not. So making a video where you skip that step is very frustrating.
Refer to your other comment
You know Wakko, you REALLY need better people skills on how to talk to people. You are outright rude and entitled with zero appreciation for what people like this do for FREE! Check your attitude and might get along better in life.
@@crazedjesterunhelpful reply mr jester. Seemed a fair comment, you asked in your pinned comment for feedback, that’s what feedback looks like. 🤷🏻♂️
@@seebarry4068 I answered his question in another comment he posted =)
Calma linguiço😂
I already requested a refund, this game is too overwhelming, enough to deal with the enemies to also be dealing with the crew mood and morale etc
At least you gave it a try. It takes a bit of time but after a few missions you really pick it up
@@crazedjester yea Steam denied my refund because I had played 3 hrs instead of 2.... so I'm stuck with it... have tried playing with minimal crew attention settings and it's not soo bad.
I have realism settings up to about 80%
Problem I'm seeing now is AI seems to be extremely good, I can be down in the red , deep deep and tuning silent and they always hit me with the depth charges. Once they do, repairs never get done.
Crew management is still cumbersome, the officers not always have the ability to do specific things, you are running like a headless chicken spinning plates when in damage control mode and at the end, you always die.
By player he means victim because at the moment the devs won't fix the multitude of bugs and they took the money from the sales of Uboat and made a new game called Nuclear Sub which is basically a clone of Uboat but more modern with some extra features. Do not support PlayWay if you like things like speaking freely because if you do the Uboat devs will ban you they've done it to several people recently including me. So go for it support a bunch of communists who love brown nosers, never post problems to the Steam discussion section that's where the Uboat devs lurk looking for a reason to ban someone they get off on doing it. You're better off with war on the sea, heck even carrier command 2 is better than a game made by fascists who silence anyone who disagrees with them being lazy.
Love me some war on the sea. Honestly, I have not come across any really noticeable bugs in this game apart from every once in a blue moon, I wont be able to submerge and have to restart the game. However that is like once every roughly ten hours of gameplay. Shame you have been experiencing these problems. I am sure there are some new sub games in the making and hopefully will be out soon!
What res you playing a t , I play at 3840 x 2160 everything cept shadows flat out , the game looks very good.
