The thing is: The historical counterpart, U-75, was sunk as early as December 28, 1941. The historical counterpart was long gone by the date of this episode. It did however, if only briefly, operate in the mediterranian, where it and 14 of its crew lie today.
Wolfpack, it looks like to me that your first shot was set to impact at a depth of 9.25 however, the draft is 8.6. Then went you switch to tube 4, it automatically changed to magnetic. So I am guessing that your first shot sailed underneath, but your second shot was on target. Hopefully someone can correct me if I am wrong.
The grafics are incredible for a game this old. And it still raises my blood pressure to unsafe levels. What a great attack by a great commander. Awesome job Wolf...❤
He's using some graphics mods, which help a little. That said, the game for its time was indeed a very nice looking game, the water effects were especially ahead of their time. GWX just takes it to the next level.
Love the videos! BTW 4500m is not the same as 4.5 on the distance settings on the TDC. That would be 45. Also you set the torps at Impact and below draft depth. I think you were lucky to hit one. But all this done in short time. Still well done!
First one was left on impact and set below keel. Second one had same depth setting, but detonator was set to magnetic. So it was likely the first torpedo that missed and the second that hit.
@@akd8525 im just curious as to why he set the first torpedo to impact. Wasn't magnetic done to cause more damage to the keel and cause sinking much easier?
that hands down was one of best torp shots i've seen in SH games and really important practice as the war draws on later into the years, you'll having to make more and more long shots as the enemy get come ever so more radar equipped.
Smart move to dive when you did. Great editing , though I always felt watching the ship descend out of sight to be a little too chilling. Gives me the willies!
Wanted to thank you for these quality SH3 Career series. Between the nostalgia for this game and your brand of narration, it makes for a welcome way to take the edge off the day. Especially during the 6+ months out at sea as an FDNF Sailor haha Especially this last deployment on CVN-76.
Atlantic Freighter:Come you passangers we need to get to shore ASAP. Atlantic Freighter:I hope there no Subs in these water. Topedo hit. Atlantic Freighter:No no not the Sonar Room!
Enjoying this series a lot, would love to see another SH4 with the fall of the rising sun mod series from you again, really enjoyed those a few years ago. Always wanted to see a start with one of the one off V-boats like the Narwhal and her 6" gun, always thought that would be good fun before upping to a fleet boat. Thanks for all the great sub videos over the years.
Another excellent video and torpedo attack, Wolfpack. I am playing Silent Hunter on my own, with the Onealex mod which is very good. If it was my attack I would have stayed running at full speed longer before going to periscope. And got to under 3000m. I'm not sure exactly what your range was when you fired but it was a looong shot. Worked out well. You were maneuvering for a kill shot when you were notified of the sinking. Firing of the red flares is something they added in the mod. When the flare goes up that means it will be sinking.
After sinking a troop transport ship, it would be interesting to loiter in the area to see what ships come to rescue the survivors. Perhaps one or two rescue ships could also be sunk! 😈
Hello, good people. Just watched the video, very cool, as usual. I made a command decision today!!, if and when, I have to go to war, on a German submarine, I am going to request, to be under Wolfpack’s submarine, in the chain of command!!!! I feel, that will be my best chance to survive, the war! LOL!!!!!! Have a great day, and Merry Christmas!!!! Thanks!!!!!
brilliant woldpack, i was doubtful you would sink the enemy with one fish at that angle, but....... you pulled it off, the second one was either going to be a miss or a dudd, thank goodness for the first on finding it's target.
Another phenomenal episode. A bit lucky with that torpedo hit and that it actually was enough, but you made your luck! And thank God you went to pd, a few more seconds and it would have went to hell. Well done!
Because you changed the salvo setting to only two tubes after having three selected... it defaulted that second tube to a magnetic setting. So the second hit amidships under the keel. Lucky. ;)
The only escort vessel I can recall being able to outrun in the Type 7 in SH3 was the Flower class, and you had to be going flank speed to be just BARELY faster than a Flower class.
THis episode illustrates why there was so much fear among the Merchant Marines of Submarines during the war. You sat around just picking them off, Btw AWESOME VIDEO.. Can you imagine being in that troop ship and realizing those destroyers that are supposed to be protecting you can't do a damnthing??
I think it was silent service 2 when you get the main contact report it tells you how far away you are visable to the enemy (The crew's guess) and I'm pretty sure sunrise and stuff is also on that same report.
Several months before historical actions but it looks like you just sunk the Laconia. Didn't attempt a rescue, though. It's an interesting story, from that era.
Excellent vid as always- just wanted to point out that the time on your captions on this one were always off by one hour compared to the time in-game. Unless I'm missing something?
Wow, this "will he or won't he" (set magnetic detonator for the dorpedoes running deeper than target's draft) was nail biting spoiler: He won't, but it would be set automaticly for the second torpedo 🤣
The game has superchargers of two types for all type 7 and type 9 u-boats. The more expensive one adds 20% to top speed and the cheaper one 10%. They do, however, shorten the surface range a bit.

30+min long video? Wolfpack is spoiling us today
I got fussed at for that
That was quite tense. Those folks on the small ocean liner are lucky to be in the in the calm and warm waters of the Mediterranean.
Well... warm, at least 😅And calm... as of when she sank.
🙃

dear wolfpack ive always enjoyed your videos and your 5 years of making these amazing content ,
number 1 was set on impact!!!!

I'd rather be lucky than good! :)
@@akd8525 I missed the second setting obviously 😂
@@akd8525 im just curious as to why he set the first torpedo to impact. Wasn't magnetic done to cause more damage to the keel and cause sinking much easier?
It was a mistake on my end haha
1:55 is just a beautiful shot. great camera work wolfpack!
that hands down was one of best torp shots i've seen in SH games and really important practice as the war draws on later into the years, you'll having to make more and more long shots as the enemy get come ever so more radar equipped.
Instant watch!

I love this particular series. Looking forward to the next ones.
Atlantic Freighter:Come you passangers we need to get to shore ASAP.

Topedo hit.
Atlantic Freighter:No no not the Sonar Room!
How could we not like your work/style. You got it going brah!!
Oooo I love the little cutaway scenes of life on board the boat in between the action
Very exciting and suspenseful action. It was pleasant to watch, like a Hollywood movie.
That was fun. You made the correct decision to dive when you did, but I was hoping to see what would happen if you had continued a surface attack.
Thanks!
Thank you very much for watching!!
I, for one, cannot hardly wait until @Wolfpack345 puts out another vid!! This one, just as all the rest...EXCEPTIONAL!! Thanks...
Great episode! Lots of suspense and nice having a longer episode.

I loved to hear how happy you were when those torpedos hit home 😂
Jawohl Jungs wir haben ihn
Wir haben ihn
@@ussintrepid8727 Thats what they say after a torpedo hit?
@@Gracefulwarrior2124 Yes, lit. "Aye boys, we got him! We got him!"
Hurra!
@@magneticflux- Oh thats pretty cool lol. I figured it was a celebration, but I never knew what it ever said :D
Had me on the edge of my sofa when I saw you fire tube 1 with an impact pistol!
Hard to tell who was more nervous, haha.

Well done, another great episode of your U-boot adventure in Mediterranean. I'm excited for the next episode.
Many thanks!
Love your patient setup and methodical planning. Excellent!
Creative art work is what you made of it. Nice
Very well made video. So atmospheric and quite eerie at the end.

I wish my SH3 campaigns felt like Wolfpack videos. Like always, keep up the good work. 🔥

This series is entertaining as all get out!
Definitely a great series, and love the longer videos!
Schiff gesichtet -the episode.
The tension in this one was immense. Can hardly wait for the next one!
wonderful cinematics at the end there :)
THis episode illustrates why there was so much fear among the Merchant Marines of Submarines during the war. You sat around just picking them off, Btw AWESOME VIDEO..
Can you imagine being in that troop ship and realizing those destroyers that are supposed to be protecting you can't do a damnthing??
3/4 of the u boat force dives didn’t equal surfaces. So Id argue the fear depended on the time period.
Not as ballsy as that surface attack in heavy fog but really daring of you to do so.
Great action, love this series. Can't wait for the next episode. Fette Beute Herr Kaleu.
I think it was silent service 2 when you get the main contact report it tells you how far away you are visable to the enemy (The crew's guess) and I'm pretty sure sunrise and stuff is also on that same report.
Great episode as always! loving the series so far ❤
A comment for the algorithm gods! ❤
Great video, thank you very much. 😊
Great work Herr Kapitan!
Great show thanks
Mediterranean is a hell of a lot better place to be in a rescue boat than, say, the middle of the Atlantic, or possibly worse, the Pacific.
can you do a vid on how you install all the same mods you got?
Great video!
Well played Wolfpack!
Several months before historical actions but it looks like you just sunk the Laconia. Didn't attempt a rescue, though.
It's an interesting story, from that era.
I've wondered how submarines kept the deck gun and AA guns lubed, and protected against salt water corosion??
The video looked good in 4K. You always seem to get the darkest nights, but it wasn't that bad spotting the ships.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.
Excellent vid as always- just wanted to point out that the time on your captions on this one were always off by one hour compared to the time in-game. Unless I'm missing something?
Love these videos
when u signaling bdu, use 4 wheels on the enigma.
Great video, just like a war movie - Das Boot. :D
A Beck’s bier for the crew!
Exciting mission.
Yeeeeeees 😍
Awesome video
Best spot to hide is under the lifeboats, they wont search or deapth charge there lol.
Perfect attack.
Love the series! Are you still planning to do more U Boat gameplay videos soon?
Wow, this "will he or won't he" (set magnetic detonator for the dorpedoes running deeper than target's draft) was nail biting
spoiler:
He won't, but it would be set automaticly for the second torpedo 🤣
BLACK PIXELS AHEAD! No idea how he makes these things out
Not even Saturday
Yeah this video was late. I ended up switching editing software so I am adjusting to a new workflow haha
Nice work. I just hope that was a British troop transport, and not an Egyptian ocean liner! (Egypt is British occupied, but neutral).
babe wake up, new SL video
Nice one
What happens if you Kim Jong Un the rescue boats??? Is that allowed, or have any consequences with the crew?
Wonder how many troops a troop transport of that size can fit. How many people did you drown in that attack?
I LOVE YOU WOLFPACK YOU'RE MY IDOL❤
I sensed second Eel would miss....too late.
Spoiler
I think No. 1 missed (incorrect set with "I" impact 9,0 meters).... to deep for that target
Yup, by shear luck of deciding to fire individually, the second torpedo defaulted to magnetic. Otherwise, all torpedos would have missed.
Can you start making the multiplayer Il-2 tank battles again pls
So what was the tonnage of the transport you sunk?
thats a +1000 soldiers who wont be reinforcing the 8th Army in egypt 👍
hi wolfpack , are you using the onealex modpack?
New subscribe from Philippines ❤😊😊❤
Is this a moded version of the game? If yes, what is the name of the mode? Thx
Have you had any problems with crashing at all recently?
Modlist please!
Did the torp go under the ship?
Umm... You don't have the supercharger installed?
on a diesel engine?
They should already have a supercharger, actually (from viic specs):
2 × supercharged 6-cylinder 4-stroke diesel engines totalling 2,800-3,200 PS (2,100-2,400 kW; 2,800-3,200 shp). Max rpm: 470-490[3]
The game has superchargers of two types for all type 7 and type 9 u-boats. The more expensive one adds 20% to top speed and the cheaper one 10%. They do, however, shorten the surface range a bit.
Da 🐐
I do kind of root for the allies to get to you but your too good.
Can we get longer videos
Please play U boat: silent hunter It’s on VR for $20
Ubisoft dont make games like this anymore .
p i n g . . .
NO.... You are on impact setting for magnetic depth..... sigh.
We need this on PS 5 😍😍 Please Ubisoft 🙏
