    UBOAT is a new Submarine Simulator that just dived into early access. It is a survival sandbox with crew management mechanics while its primary theme is life of German sailors. The boat is their home, but it can become their grave at any time.
    In UBOAT you control the crew in order to control the boat. You look after their physical and mental health, because if the sailors are hungry, tired and their spirit is low, there’s no chance of winning even a skirmish.

    Imagine being a sailor on U-4, the Kaleun takes you right up to Scapa on the surface during the day, you get bombed by a plane while the Kaleun tries to shoot it down personally, he then gives orders to dive after your boat has been hit, and as you're lying there inside a flooding u-boat in the dark with a broken leg, the Kaleun says: "Well that was fun."

    It's a Sunderland. It's a big aircraft originally designed as the Empire C class flying boat, a transatlantic passenger aircraft, and converted into the Sunderland for war service. It carries a LOT of bombs and depth charges and it even still has the galley for cooking that it originally had so can feed its crew on long patrols. My stepfather's cousin was navigator on one of those.
    Edit: I was told when I was a child that they had a tradition of taking a picnic hamper with cucumber sandwiches cut into neat triangles and a china tea service out on patrol and "taking tea" out over the atlantic. I recently found a reference to this practice being banned, and since you don't ban something that isn't happening that means the story was true.

    You can actually get some mileage even with this boat, but you have to have 2/2 sailors on both navigator and engineer assistance. Also helps a little bit if you turn off the gyrocompass. Never use anything above speed 2. Don't chase after contacts other than what you can intercept at speed 2.
    I play on 100% realism and I treat this boat more like a slightly mobile mine rather than an attack submarine. Has been working so far, made it to where your episode ended with 80%+ fuel remaining. :)

    • @RonJeremy514
      @RonJeremy514 2 месяца назад +12

      This. I play on 100% realism too, the Type IIB really needs to be nursed regarding fuel consumption and navigation at all time. Which is why I have 7 officers now to have constant shifts rotation on both navigation and engines. That said the Type IID is much much better, much more fuel to play with, some more storage space, more real estate on the coning tower + UZO and... Well that's it. No additional torpedos but lone freighters can be sunk easily with the 20mm AA gun as long as you shoot AP ammo at the waterline. You can ask the enemy cargo to evacuate as you intend to sink them so it comes to a full stop too. Then give them potatoes, claim the bounty, sail away.
      Also I play with darker nights, most of my victories so far were at night and foggy nights (yikes). Just do frequent hydrophone checks when you guesstimate the enemy's course to get fresh data and go flank speed on that intercept course, do a little calculation on the time it will take to reach various points of intercepts and assume the cargo ships to go between 8-10 knots. The trick for night time is: both the UZO and the observation periscope have an orange filter (not the attack periscope) which enhances the visibility at night. Combined with red light it does make a very noticeable difference. Additional sailors increase the range of detecting something too but nothing beats the hydrophone.

      You need to use electric motors whenever you have the chance - including electric on surface, and only use diesel to charge the batteries. Only use 1st or 2nd speed when on Diesel. For some reason you dont spend as much diesel energy to load the batteries as the electric engine consumption, so using electric battery as proxy will net you a far higher mileage. Once you get the 2nd sub the fuel problem kinda goes away for a bit.

    After extensive gameplay in a U-boat type IIA I learned that: 1. never answer to wild goose chases that other U-boats present. You don't have the fuel and speed for it. 2: never accept follow-up missions, like this one in Belfast. You are not getting home with the fuel left. This is easy to check by setting the way home and see if you can get there. Maybe you can reach Helgoland or do the last bit on electrics. You are already down on yellow. 3: Never engage in an airfight.

    The thing with the cheese supply is that if U4's cheese was deliberately provided in a way facilitating spoilage, so may be other cheese in the warehouse, and as such, BDU will have the matter checked and ensure that other boats are being properly supplied. If this happens on a large scale, a lot of boats will head out with inadequately estimated food stock, which may cut supplies short.

    With a bomb bay carrying eight depth charges - each set to explode at a depth of 25 to 30ft, the Sunderland often flew at low height using its highly accurate radio altitude system to ensure each charge achieved the maximum damage on a diving U-boat."

      @@Cr4z3d There is no evidence that German subs had red or blue lights. Like I said, the watch crew had red shaded goggles when they were inside the boat.
      The red and blue lighting is really a modern interpretation. I think we first saw this in the German movie "Das Boot". That was applied for dramaturgic reasons and is not a depiction of reality.
      Sadly many museums followed to implement the lighting, because they thaught that someone else did the research for them, or because they liked it for dramaturgic reasons as well. Or it was something the visitors would expect, so they did it.
      Modern CICs on military vessels and submarines have blue lighting because its supposed to be easier on your eyes when looking on a computer screen.

    U-4 departed Wilhelmshaven for her first patrol on 4 September 1939, in the aftermath of the declaration of war. Given her small size, she only covered the area to the south of Norway and into the North Sea west of Denmark and along the Dutch coast, and returned unsuccessful on 14 September. A second patrol later in the month yielded greater dividends, when she spotted three neutral vessels heading to Britain through the North Sea and sank them on consecutive days; the Martti Ragnar on the 22nd, the Walma on the 23rd and the Gertrud Bratt on the 24th.

I managed to go decks awash a couple times to get just enough air to stay under even though the sea was very choppy until dark and not be spotted by coastal guns or aircraft. Then dark fell and surfaced to cross the submarine net. It took all of my torpedoes to sink the battleship. It wasn’t to bad sneaking out. Didn’t get detected by patrols luckily. There was an aircraft carrier too but didn’t have torpedoes left to sink her. It was fun doing this in the type ii. Happy hunting!

    To have crew search for hidden flaws you need to assign sailors to the crew on damage control - they hunt around while the officers give orders from safe inside the control room :)))
    I agree with what everyone else is saying - the damage model is very generous in the game. Thankfully there are heaps of good mods that push it in the 'sim' direction by modelling damage a bit more unforgivingly (Iron Coffins and Deadly Skies) but the vast majority of mods aren't working in the 2024 patch because the modkit hasn't been updated yet. Something to watch out for in the future! Just like SH3 was made great by GWX and other mods, I think uboat is a good game that will become incredible

      -go east side entrance there is no mines there is only one nest (stick to that little "island" on the entrance there is no coast guns there so you can be in surface)
      -mark where the nest is so on your way out you know when to surface.
      -stick to deep areas, you can see depth in the top right corner of the map.
      -the battleship should always be at the right side of the port stay that side and wait for it to be alone
      -shot all your torps at a low depth like 4,5m, reload and shot again ( so at least 10 torps), having sailors assigned to your mechanics speeds the reload by 500%
      -After all that try to get as far from the BB as you can, when you see those +15 ships go deep and play dead.
      Bonus tip: when ships are not moving they will not appear on the hydrophone (there could be 10 ships on top of you and it will not appear on the map).

    Quick tip, when evading don't immediately go full left rudder but go full flank and wait with rudder amidships to build up speed because the drag from the rudder will bleed off 2-3kn. When the plane begins their attack run then go full stop and full rudder into their dirrction and make them overshoot.

    If you keep a hydrophone contract on your scope for a while to get the correct course, you can CTRL + Right Click the Hydrophone contact and it will automatically plot a intercept course.
    Now I don't know if this course is plotted at your current speed or the maximum speed of your boat, either way I find surfacing and sprinting to the site at full speed tends to work, you then just submerge and lie in wait for the contact to come to you.

I use the boat timing and submerge just before sunrise for 4 hours, travel for two hours, submerge again for two hours, travel for two hours, submerge for 4 hours and then it's night time and this keeps my battery charged and fuel consumption low.

    You can stretch your fuel a great deal with trim dives (diving and running off batteries every so often to stretch your diesel fuel).

    just did the attack scapa flow mission with U4, and guess what "not enough fuel to return to base" (52 percent left) - one way to deal with that, is to run the electric engines on surface, switch to diesel, recharge, switch to electric, and i was able to get back

      Don’t have the game, but if you can opt out of recharging batteries, that would’ve been more effective.
      Charging the batteries consumes additional diesel fuel. The fuel you’d save by not charging batteries will get you further than the batteries would.

    Not sure if it helps but if you want to calculate the ETA and approximate positions of the enemy ships switch the distances in the game from Km to Nm.

    Hey wolfpack! loving the channel and the vids, they have inspired me to pick up SH3 and UBOAT and give them a go and I'm loving them both. I have a question/suggestion that I would love to see as I'm also trying it myself, a career that takes you all the way from the days just before the outbreak of WW2 in SH3 and seeing if you can go all the way from a type 2 and survive until the end of the war in an E boat, it will be difficult but I think reaching the end of the war alive would be an incredible feat!

    If the game's accurate on the timeline, the Type IID isn't going to be in comission until summer 1940 at the earliest. But given what happened with those Flower class, they'll probably be available in game any day now! :D

    I believe you need to equip the crew with the engine oil for their work on the engine to do any good. Note that your diesel is smoking up a storm despite two people laying to it.

      A mechanic can quickly get the perk where engine oil is not necessary and not produce black smoke. If a second mechanic doesn’t have this perk, then yes give him the oil but even then it’s barely used.

    Canned bread...Mmmmmm...Immer gut!!! Wolfgang screwed up again...no Drei-Baumen beer ration for him! I've watched a few videos from you of this game and it would seem the crew seems to break their legs a lot. I think as Captain you should try and requisition more milk rations....I think the crew has rickets. Especially since the other dairy products like the infamous "U4 Cheese debacle of 1940" has come to pass. Under section XIII.b of the Geneva convention "Crimes against dairy products are strictly forbidden for all signatories." Someone could be in a lot of trouble....

    What bothers me most about LOSING the cheese is that so many people, especially Europeans, don’t know how to spell lose. Please everyone, tell your friends, loose and lose are two different words! If you look closely at 22:00, you’ll see the spelling error made it into the game UI.
    Edit: I suppose that if your cheese were too loose, you may in fact lose it.

    I did try to shoot down aircrafts. A full mag (30 rounds) of 20mm HE into a Short Sunderland point blank will not guarantee it to be defeated. I'm no expert on this aircraft, maybe it was built like a tank, in fact i just learned its existence recently, but it seems pretty unrealistic considering that the 20mm gun itself was an antitank machinegun, let alone what few rounds from a later Bf 109 would do to it. I hope the quad barrel AA gun is not as bad otherwise some mod needs to be made tweaking the damage values I feel. Anyway it was just for testing purposes, I always dive immediately when I see an aircraft. They are also insanely maneuverable and therefore accurate when droping depth charges when changing course, less when changing speed somehow.
