Very good! But please do not rush submarine development. Only add them when they are balanced gameplay-wise, or else we would have another CV situation...
This Submarine is located in my hometown. I've been in it many times. And even tho it looks small, its actually a huge piece of steel when you stand next to it.
I visited the Wilhelm Bauer Type 21 Submarine Museum sub in Bremerhaven. That would have been a scary Fn sub for the allies early on. She carried 28 torpedoes in the fore, with 6 tubes, and she was actually faster submerged than sailing on the surface. She was also capable of remaining under water for the duration of the cruise due to advance snorkel tech, and could run her diesel engines while moving underwater. This particular submarine never saw combat. The to little to late condition caused that. I would love to visit the Mark 7 Museum ships though.

Just two little notes. - While she surrendered in Trondheim, Norway (9 May 1945). But she was unseaworthy (moored in Trondheim to be fitted with a ''Schnorchel'' 8 May 1945) and thus..... She was never transferred to UK, later taken over by Norway in 1948 and startet to serve as HMS Kaura as a K-Class at the end of 1952. She ended her Norwegian service in 1965. - Norway tried to sell it back to Germany for the cermonial price of 1 Deutsche Mark in, which was refused. It was the German Navy League, DMB, who bought her for preservation. She became a museum ship in 1971.
@@Kenny212_2 Why? At that point of time, she had no use in the military as an offensiv, defensive or training tool any more. It was was just an expense that needed upkeep. The only ''use'' left she had, was as an museum piece. Though I do agree that she would be looking awesome being moored inside of 'Dora 1'' in Trondheim. The only question would then be... "who should pay for the upkeep and maintanence?" It was the same story for the carrier ship Kitty Hawk (and John F. Kennedy) which were sold for one cent to a ship scrapper in Texas. These were the last non-nuclear powered carriers in the US navy, and the last chance to make a US navy carrier museum. But it came down to cost.
@@garyshaw9912 “we” and when did you earn your dolphins? I on the other hand served and have logged a few hours (year in a half under water). “We” refer to subs as boats out of respect to the German U boat.
@@toddkorson6390 british triggered over the simple notion anything Germany did back then could merit anyone's respect. Shows the petty, small mind of the Englishman in all its glory.
Im sure they did feel tremendous frustration and grief. But probably not until much later. In the moment im sure they were all focused on trying to do their jobs. Sailors from everywhere in the world share that tendency in common. Along with a strong desire to rescue shipwreck victims and mutual respect for other sailors and especially for ships. Its said that when a bunch of british & american ships and planes managed to gang up on and corner the Bismark, probably the most legendary and famous battleship in history, even according to this channel, which doesnt focus on German ships much. That the British sailors stood on deck and watched solemnly as she slowly sank and rolled over. And later mentioned that she was a beautiful, miraculous ship. "But she had to go to the bottom." And this was the ship that sank the royal navy flagship Hood, their best ship of the war, in 3 minutes flat. Among other things she singlehandedly shifted the entire balance of power on the oceans. Yet the still marveled and respected her. Even though she was an enemy. And they also felt for her crew. There are similar accounts from German sailors at other times. Strange that seamen all seem to have certain things in common like this
Well, that was certainly something. I've been to see the U-505 up in Chicago and the size difference between this Type 7 and the larger Type 9 is pretty plain to see from this. Almost hard to imagine a crew living in one of these things, as the larger Type 9 was already pretty cramped internally, and the 7 had less space to work with. Regardless of politics, you still have to respect the people that volunteered to live and fight on these things.
More modern German U-boats, like the current Type 212A also don't have much more living space in them, as they are now cramped with additional, modern technologies. They still have to share bunks and only the captain gets a private space.

We apologize for the issue, the technical problem came from our side and we will post the full bonus code tomorrow in the new video and in a post in the Community section in case someone misses it.
Unfortunately, I noticed several inaccuracies in the technical information provided. 1. The Boat is 67,240 m long, not 67,1 which would be an older VIIC Type. 2. The Boat is 18 to 22 mm thick. 3. The displacement of the boat is 1070 m3, not 871. 871 tons is the boat without any outer tank included. 4. The concave Bulkheads were designed to have the very same pressure resistance as the pressure hull itself and could withstand a pressure up to 220 m. 5. The depth rudders were mainly operated electively. There's no hydraulic depth control. It was done mechanically by hand. Only 2 Boats had tests done with Hydraulic, and this was U-202 and U-203. 6. The Red Handwheels were not used to "Control" the ballast, but blow the ballast tanks. Nothing was opened gradually. The Big red valve above is used to blow and control the blowing.
I don't even play this game but man do they make some high quality youtube content. This puts most of the so called "history" channels to shame. Well done
bestimmt nicht, das waren Boote die einfach zu gut sind, das können die nicht bringen... und vor allem das die XXI Menschenleben gerettet haben und nicht vernichtet, das können die Russen ja nun wirklich nicht bringen...
They say the increase of destroyed U-boats wasn't a sudden event but I recall reading a German Captain's memoirs and he said that submarines were disappearing and never heard from again, not even a distress report. One night he was running his battery charge and the boat was lit up by a searchlight from the air and then a close explosion in the water. He managed to submerge the boat in time, but now knew with surprise that the allies were using aircraft further out in the Atlantic than before.
Hello.... Arriving in Laboe from Kiel and being received by this monument to human intelligence, was the best reception that this beautiful city and its loving people could give me. My dear U-995, I went through it several times and always with the same fascination, in front of the Memorial as a tribute and homage to those sailors who still patrol the seas... I'll be back!!.......Dante, from Argentina
@@Shvrtya Hello, yes, it was something very emotional, it was like meeting a great friend from my youth, believe me it was so emotional for me to see and board that uboot that the mechanical part, engines and instruments remained in the background. Hopefully you can make that trip, surely it will be unforgettable... A hug
@@Shvrtya Ahhhh.....I tell you that after Laboe I went to visit the U-534 in Birkenhead UK, it is cut into 4 parts, very good too, although not so emotional... that was more technical...
Uhhh basically that's how every vehicle works. Truck driver bed near the front, the pilot, the aircraft carrier admiral, etc. Your joke is weird... because that's how it works normally in every vehicles. The leader of vehicle must be near the commando area. So is their bedroom and other stuffs.
I visited this place as a kid a couple of times. What i remember most, aside from how tight everything felt inside the sub, is the "Ehrenmal", the big monument in the back and its museum. While the museum ist very interesting to visit, the underground vault in honor of the dead is quite humbling. I still remember the silence, aside from the whispering sound of the wind and, depending on the weather, the sea outside.
At 3:34 "If it's a large submarine, it starts to have control issues when underwater", only if you are trying to use the same methods of control that you use on the smaller subs.
There were 2710 liberties built during the war including 99 built between 1943 and 1945 in my hometown of brunswick georgia same port where the car freighter capsized on its port side about 2 months ago
These mini series beats anything I've seen on tv. The CGI is awesome. Saw this sub in episode of Nazi Megastructures but this is more in depth to the subs specifications.
"...ihre einzigartigen Eigenschaften, wie die Tauchgeschwindigkeit und die maximale Tauchtiefe, machten sie praktisch unverwundbar"... Na, es hat nicht lange gedauert, bis die Briten zeigten, wie verwundbar die Uboote waren!
My grandfather worked on the submarine. After second worldwar, germany left kaura u995 in Norway. U995 was a permanent submarine for the navy in Norway for many years

They have to manually move the u-boat to aim the torpedoes and have to correct the aiming since the target is moving towards Britain. Once locked, they check the bearing and heading and start to load the torpedoes, seal the breach shut and finally… pull the trigger and off goes, 1, 2, 3, 4 torpedoes. There was also a fifth torpedo at the rear just incase of rear ended defense
@@goldgamercommenting2990 That was the old way of an attack. as stated in the video the germans ceated new torpedo launcher that can change direction even in the tube
The German U-Boats used something called a TDC (Torpedo Data Computer) Here's a detailed description of the TDC: Purpose and Importance: The primary purpose of the TDC was to calculate the correct firing solution for launching torpedoes at enemy ships. It factored in various parameters such as target speed, course, range, U-boat speed, and torpedo speed to determine the optimal time and angle for firing the torpedoes. Components: The TDC consisted of several key components that worked in tandem to compute firing solutions: Target Data Input: Operators manually input data about the target ship's speed, course, and range. U-Boat Data Input: Information about the U-boat's speed, course, and heading was also fed into the TDC. Torpedo Data: Characteristics of the torpedoes being used, such as speed and range, were provided. Gyroscope: The TDC was equipped with a gyroscope to measure the U-boat's angle of roll, pitch, and yaw. Analog Computers: The TDC employed analog computing mechanisms that used electrical circuits and gears to perform complex calculations. Periscope Connection: The TDC was connected to the periscope, allowing it to gather real-time information about the target's position and movement. Calculation Process: The TDC's primary task was to determine the proper firing angle and time for launching torpedoes. Here's a general overview of the process: Data Gathering: The operator would input data about the target, U-boat, and torpedo into the TDC. Real-time Updates: As the periscope tracked the target, the TDC received continuous updates about the target's position and movement. Computations: Using the input data and real-time updates, the TDC's analog computers performed intricate calculations to predict the target's future position and the U-boat's position when the torpedoes would reach the target. Firing Solution: The TDC would then provide the firing solution, which included the firing angle (azimuth) and the calculated time delay to account for the travel time of the torpedoes. Operator Verification: The firing solution was manually reviewed and verified by the U-boat's commander or torpedo officer to ensure its accuracy. Advantages: The TDC offered several advantages that significantly improved the effectiveness of U-boat torpedo attacks: Increased Accuracy: The TDC's calculations greatly improved the accuracy of torpedo attacks, reducing the number of torpedoes needed to sink a target. Adaptability: The TDC could be adjusted for different torpedo types, U-boat speeds, and other variables, making it versatile in various combat scenarios. Real-time Updates: The TDC received real-time target data from the periscope, allowing for dynamic adjustments to firing solutions as the target's movements changed. Credits go to ChatGPT, because I was to lazy to write this on my own. Should there be anny fals info, feel free to tell me, and I will corect it, or do abseloutly nothing.
this might intended to gain more player into WoWs But damn, this channel might stay "best Naval Documentary" for really long time without nation bias It all thanks to gamer dude behind monitor, i able to enjoy this Thank everyone
When they dismantled the submarine fleet the Americans and Brits had first dibs on the engines. They didn’t want them. So Australia took them and used them as backup generators in telephone exchanges. A task they were well suited for and did for many decades.
I have seen alot of U-Boat documentaries but I like this one for the amount of scenes showing the internals of a U-Boat. 23:53 - "It's arguably one of the most numerous ship types in the world by the number of units built. I believe even the Liberty-class were less numerous." I cannot believe the producers let this statement be a part of their documentary. Every history book I have read about the German U-Boats places the total number of U-Boats built of *_every_* type combined only reached the low 1100s. The Liberty ships, however, easily reached the low 2700s. Even if the US Government lied about the total amount of Liberty ships built, which is always possible, and there were only 1500 Liberty ships built it is still much more than the total number of U-Boats built.
@@Redstar11277 I don't think it would be too OP, as its size also severly limited its maneuverability and made it a bigger target to shoot at and get hit be depth charges. It was also slower submerged than other, smaller types, like the Type VII and Type IX of the Germans. There was also a peculiar problem that its sail was not centered, causing it to have a larger turning circle to starboard. Therefore, I do see some way to balance it properly, give it, due to more torpedo tubes, a faster reload and more HP, but limit its speed and maneuverability a bit, maybe make it slower to dive and, as said, its size makes it a bigger and easier to hit target.
tbh i bet that something as famous and popular as I-400 will end up an premium, quite possible during some return of the arpeggio of blue steel stuff so they can squeeze more money from the weebs XD
When will they finally add/release it into the game ? been watching and never see any info on this .. applied to get in on the test server but never got any mail .
No mentioning of U 480 a type 7 submarine, coated with rubber... It was te first stealth submarine of the world, specially designed to absorb the current sonar of the brits and it did quite effectively..
Can i get more information on the radiation communication mentionned in the part explaining the wolfpack tactic? I never heard of that and can’t seem to find information on this.
The wolfpack tactic or "Wolfsrudel Angriffe" basicly mean. One U-Boat is spotting a convoy. She reports the position and the most likey direction to the other Boats around this spot. After that german HQ would say "there are 5 or 7 Boats around, wait for them" Now she has to follow the convoy, until all Boats are present. They start circeling the convoy, like wolfs cirle and study the prey. After some time you see, which of the ships is the slowest. mostlikly they were coverd by other ships. The U-Boats came close and start to blow up the slow ships. After the first few ships are sunk, the convoy would "run away" like animals and the "wolfes" now focus on the slowest ships running away from them. Most convoy ships at the time reached 9-12 knots, the UBoats 17, so they could hunt them down.
Are you both in Chicago has been beautifully restored and is in its own building, it was starting to deteriorate because it sat outside for so many years, I was glad to see it was restored.
I hate historical docs just relying on CGI, but this one has used CGI with the right measure, especially for infos... It's incredible how a doc sponsored by a game has a better quality and more interesting infos than most of the docs created by the arious so called 'Educational TV channels'...This tells a lot about nowaday TV quality ...
@Johnny Reb Brown, Boveri & Cie, they also supplied parts for the E-motors together with AEG. In U-995's case AEG was the maker of the electric panels in the E-raum
Eighteen American shipyards built 2,710 Liberty ships between 1941 and 1945 (an average of three ships every two days), easily the largest number of ships ever produced to a single design.
Only issue was the diving horn in this video. Didn't german subs use a ringing bell before dive? That horn in video sounded like the model T horns we used on our subs in the U.S. before a dive.
if i remember correctly, i read a book about otto kretschmar he himself attacked different from every other u-boat captain... first he doesnt use torpedo compartments. kretschmar: "one ship, one torpedo" also he doesnt attack from outside of an konvoi he sneaks inside and attacked from inside (defending ships search outside) thats is why he was the best . amazon: The Golden Horseshoe: The Story of Otto Kretschmer, Germany's Top U-boat Ace (Fortunes of War) by Terence Robertson

She became a museum ship in 1971.
@@Kenny212_2 Why?
At that point of time, she had no use in the military as an offensiv, defensive or training tool any more.
It was was just an expense that needed upkeep.
The only ''use'' left she had, was as an museum piece.
Though I do agree that she would be looking awesome being moored inside of 'Dora 1'' in Trondheim.
The only question would then be...
"who should pay for the upkeep and maintanence?"
It was the same story for the carrier ship Kitty Hawk (and John F. Kennedy) which were sold for one cent to a ship scrapper in Texas.
These were the last non-nuclear powered carriers in the US navy, and the last chance to make a US navy carrier museum.
But it came down to cost.
We still refer to submarines as boats, (we US submariners) out of respect to the German Uboat.
That's because ships weren't designed to sink.
"We" refer to subs as boats because they used to be carried on ships and launched from ships. That "out of respect" shit is bullshit.
@@garyshaw9912 “we” and when did you earn your dolphins? I on the other hand served and have logged a few hours (year in a half under water). “We” refer to subs as boats out of respect to the German U boat.
@@toddkorson6390 british triggered over the simple notion anything Germany did back then could merit anyone's respect. Shows the petty, small mind of the Englishman in all its glory.
Surprisingly satisfying to see animated humans in this video. Honestly, I think you guys really outdid yourselves with this one.
I can't imagine the frustration and grief felt by the warship crew failing to protect all those transport ships
See Greyhound
@@eishangupta9521 Greyhound is trash
Im sure they did feel tremendous frustration and grief. But probably not until much later. In the moment im sure they were all focused on trying to do their jobs. Sailors from everywhere in the world share that tendency in common. Along with a strong desire to rescue shipwreck victims and mutual respect for other sailors and especially for ships. Its said that when a bunch of british & american ships and planes managed to gang up on and corner the Bismark, probably the most legendary and famous battleship in history, even according to this channel, which doesnt focus on German ships much. That the British sailors stood on deck and watched solemnly as she slowly sank and rolled over. And later mentioned that she was a beautiful, miraculous ship. "But she had to go to the bottom."
And this was the ship that sank the royal navy flagship Hood, their best ship of the war, in 3 minutes flat. Among other things she singlehandedly shifted the entire balance of power on the oceans. Yet the still marveled and respected her. Even though she was an enemy. And they also felt for her crew. There are similar accounts from German sailors at other times. Strange that seamen all seem to have certain things in common like this
Well, that was certainly something. I've been to see the U-505 up in Chicago and the size difference between this Type 7 and the larger Type 9 is pretty plain to see from this. Almost hard to imagine a crew living in one of these things, as the larger Type 9 was already pretty cramped internally, and the 7 had less space to work with. Regardless of politics, you still have to respect the people that volunteered to live and fight on these things.
More modern German U-boats, like the current Type 212A also don't have much more living space in them, as they are now cramped with additional, modern technologies. They still have to share bunks and only the captain gets a private space.
Volunteers?
@@arthurdduda63 The German Army, including the Navy, has only volunteers today. It's has been a pure professional army since 2011.
and die, for no reasonable reason - if it was, it would stand the probe of time to this very day... ...---...
The type 9 had about 80 men on board, whereas the Type 7 only had half of that.
Nice to finally see a German naval legend. Thanks guys

the Snorkel was originally a Dutch invention
No one said it wasn't. ;)
But many Dutch design ended up in german hands. :)
@@StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe yup...
but arent Dutch just swamp germans? or are germans mountain dutch?
@@Ginkoman2 neen
steyn17 : but it takes Germans to make it work
Unfortunately, I noticed several inaccuracies in the technical information provided.
1. The Boat is 67,240 m long, not 67,1 which would be an older VIIC Type.
2. The Boat is 18 to 22 mm thick.
3. The displacement of the boat is 1070 m3, not 871. 871 tons is the boat without any outer tank included.
4. The concave Bulkheads were designed to have the very same pressure resistance as the pressure hull itself and could withstand a pressure up to 220 m.
5. The depth rudders were mainly operated electively. There's no hydraulic depth control. It was done mechanically by hand. Only 2 Boats had tests done with Hydraulic, and this was U-202 and U-203.
6. The Red Handwheels were not used to "Control" the ballast, but blow the ballast tanks. Nothing was opened gradually. The Big red valve above is used to blow and control the blowing.
This is one of the best documentaries I have seen on U-Boats.
why do i find it satisfying to look at ships sink
Good question. I'm the same.
I don't even play this game but man do they make some high quality youtube content. This puts most of the so called "history" channels to shame. Well done
Guess there will be a part about the type XXI u boat in Bremerhaven?
Denkst du echt das WG deutschen Sachen mehr aufmerksamkeit geben will?
bestimmt nicht, das waren Boote die einfach zu gut sind, das können die nicht bringen... und vor allem das die XXI Menschenleben gerettet haben und nicht vernichtet, das können die Russen ja nun wirklich nicht bringen...
@@Arltratlo ach ja, stimmt stimmt
They say the increase of destroyed U-boats wasn't a sudden event but I recall reading a German Captain's memoirs and he said that submarines were disappearing and never heard from again, not even a distress report. One night he was running his battery charge and the boat was lit up by a searchlight from the air and then a close explosion in the water. He managed to submerge the boat in time, but now knew with surprise that the allies were using aircraft further out in the Atlantic than before.
24:03 Not even close, 2,710 Liberty ships were built compared to a little over 700 Type VIIs
Yep germany built nearly 1700 U Boote.
@@justdad53 Yes but you cant't compare massive US-Shipbuilding Industry with the german one.
Nice to see they left out the part where U-995 sunk 5 soviet ships.....
Damn! That would have been my favorite part too.....
U-995 also damaged a US Freighter "Horace Bushnell" heavily so it had to be called a total loss.
My father was radioman on USS SEACAT SS-399 which was one of 12 Subs that escorted the BB-63 Missouri into Tokyo Bay for the Surrender of the Japanese
Hello.... Arriving in Laboe from Kiel and being received by this monument to human intelligence, was the best reception that this beautiful city and its loving people could give me. My dear U-995, I went through it several times and always with the same fascination, in front of the Memorial as a tribute and homage to those sailors who still patrol the seas... I'll be back!!.......Dante, from Argentina
I wish to also one day visit this beauty, I am sure your time on her was spectacular!
@@Shvrtya
Hello, yes, it was something very emotional, it was like meeting a great friend from my youth, believe me it was so emotional for me to see and board that uboot that the mechanical part, engines and instruments remained in the background.
Hopefully you can make that trip, surely it will be unforgettable... A hug
@@Shvrtya Ahhhh.....I tell you that after Laboe I went to visit the U-534 in Birkenhead UK, it is cut into 4 parts, very good too, although not so emotional... that was more technical...
This sub was surrendered to the Norwegian navy in 1945. and was used by them for ten yrs, named Kaura. I had the honor of knowing one of her Captains!
never knew a game company would do this kinda of stuff
The type 7 was the best for it's time but as always nothing last forever...
These CGI animations are great as always. Never get bored with them
Imagine if they had the 300 odd u-boats at the start of the war and not in 1942.
10:17 talk about being close to your job
Uhhh basically that's how every vehicle works. Truck driver bed near the front, the pilot, the aircraft carrier admiral, etc.
Your joke is weird... because that's how it works normally in every vehicles. The leader of vehicle must be near the commando area. So is their bedroom and other stuffs.
Dzulfiqar Bagas Tito my dude.... he was just making a joke. If you don’t get it, then don’t say anything. Please
I'm from germany and I'm very excited that you visited germany to make a video about U995! :) I love it!
I visited this place as a kid a couple of times. What i remember most, aside from how tight everything felt inside the sub, is the "Ehrenmal", the big monument in the back and its museum. While the museum ist very interesting to visit, the underground vault in honor of the dead is quite humbling. I still remember the silence, aside from the whispering sound of the wind and, depending on the weather, the sea outside.
Hope I-400 would be featured too
Yeah me too
One of my favorite Subs!
At 3:34 "If it's a large submarine, it starts to have control issues when underwater", only if you are trying to use the same methods of control that you use on the smaller subs.

Superb CGI effects and production values went into the making of this documentary. Kudos to the producers! Very well done!
That German guy Klaus Mattes, really underestimates how many Liberty ships the US built...
They have more ships, then we have torpedos.
*laugh in fletcher*
@@Hidensee *taunts in RAF air patrols*
There were 2710 liberties built during the war including 99 built between 1943 and 1945 in my hometown of brunswick georgia same port where the car freighter capsized on its port side about 2 months ago
dude the translation was very exagerating, he didnt even say mass production
It's amazing to think that the type VII was both highly superior in diving depth and easy to construct.
It is amazing how fast and how many were built
These mini series beats anything I've seen on tv. The CGI is awesome. Saw this sub in episode of Nazi Megastructures but this is more in depth to the subs specifications.
Who would believe this monster was made 80 years ago?
Can we get that battle log in full length and German (with just subtiles)?
love the CG as usual
4:48 transition is flawless lol
"...ihre einzigartigen Eigenschaften, wie die Tauchgeschwindigkeit und die maximale Tauchtiefe, machten sie praktisch unverwundbar"... Na, es hat nicht lange gedauert, bis die Briten zeigten, wie verwundbar die Uboote waren!
My grandfather worked on the submarine. After second worldwar, germany left kaura u995 in Norway. U995 was a permanent submarine for the navy in Norway for many years

VII-class submarines alarmed even Winston Churchill himself, and presented a substantial threat to Allied vessels in the Atlantic Ocean in the early 1940s.

How were the torpedoes programmed? And how exactly were they fired? Did a gunner pull a trigger?
They have to manually move the u-boat to aim the torpedoes and have to correct the aiming since the target is moving towards Britain. Once locked, they check the bearing and heading and start to load the torpedoes, seal the breach shut and finally… pull the trigger and off goes, 1, 2, 3, 4 torpedoes. There was also a fifth torpedo at the rear just incase of rear ended defense
@@goldgamercommenting2990 That was the old way of an attack. as stated in the video the germans ceated new torpedo launcher that can change direction even in the tube
@@jackhell9263 ohhh
They just used magnets
The German U-Boats used something called a TDC (Torpedo Data Computer)
Here's a detailed description of the TDC:
Purpose and Importance:
The primary purpose of the TDC was to calculate the correct firing solution for launching torpedoes at enemy ships. It factored in various parameters such as target speed, course, range, U-boat speed, and torpedo speed to determine the optimal time and angle for firing the torpedoes.
Components:
The TDC consisted of several key components that worked in tandem to compute firing solutions:
Target Data Input: Operators manually input data about the target ship's speed, course, and range.
U-Boat Data Input: Information about the U-boat's speed, course, and heading was also fed into the TDC.
Torpedo Data: Characteristics of the torpedoes being used, such as speed and range, were provided.
Gyroscope: The TDC was equipped with a gyroscope to measure the U-boat's angle of roll, pitch, and yaw.
Analog Computers: The TDC employed analog computing mechanisms that used electrical circuits and gears to perform complex calculations.
Periscope Connection: The TDC was connected to the periscope, allowing it to gather real-time information about the target's position and movement.
Calculation Process:
The TDC's primary task was to determine the proper firing angle and time for launching torpedoes. Here's a general overview of the process:
Data Gathering: The operator would input data about the target, U-boat, and torpedo into the TDC.
Real-time Updates: As the periscope tracked the target, the TDC received continuous updates about the target's position and movement.
Computations: Using the input data and real-time updates, the TDC's analog computers performed intricate calculations to predict the target's future position and the U-boat's position when the torpedoes would reach the target.
Firing Solution: The TDC would then provide the firing solution, which included the firing angle (azimuth) and the calculated time delay to account for the travel time of the torpedoes.
Operator Verification: The firing solution was manually reviewed and verified by the U-boat's commander or torpedo officer to ensure its accuracy.
Advantages:
The TDC offered several advantages that significantly improved the effectiveness of U-boat torpedo attacks:
Increased Accuracy: The TDC's calculations greatly improved the accuracy of torpedo attacks, reducing the number of torpedoes needed to sink a target.
Adaptability: The TDC could be adjusted for different torpedo types, U-boat speeds, and other variables, making it versatile in various combat scenarios.
Real-time Updates: The TDC received real-time target data from the periscope, allowing for dynamic adjustments to firing solutions as the target's movements changed.

It all thanks to gamer dude behind monitor, i able to enjoy this
Thank everyone
I'm loving those submarine animation clips :)
The US submarine fleet in the Pacific ravaged Japan's shipping and war effort.
That should be the next documentary.
Human engineering never ceases to amaze whether in peace or to kill each other.
2,710 Liberty Ships were built. Just one shipyard in Portland Oregon was completing one per day. Still, the number of Uboats built was astonishing.
Pretty sure this sub could have been improved by adding another 53 valve handles...LOL so many valve handles!! It's crazy!
When they dismantled the submarine fleet the Americans and Brits had first dibs on the engines. They didn’t want them. So Australia took them and used them as backup generators in telephone exchanges. A task they were well suited for and did for many decades.
Was there on holiday last week. Beautiful town with some really amazing sights.
I have seen alot of U-Boat documentaries but I like this one for the amount of scenes showing the internals of a U-Boat. 23:53 - "It's arguably one of the most numerous ship types in the world by the number of units built. I believe even the Liberty-class were less numerous." I cannot believe the producers let this statement be a part of their documentary. Every history book I have read about the German U-Boats places the total number of U-Boats built of *_every_* type combined only reached the low 1100s. The Liberty ships, however, easily reached the low 2700s. Even if the US Government lied about the total amount of Liberty ships built, which is always possible, and there were only 1500 Liberty ships built it is still much more than the total number of U-Boats built.
May i have a question? What if u add some i-400 class submarine that is made from japan is it gonna be nice or not???
Matthew Gamer that thing is to OP i think
Its a submarine that is also a carrier
Would be op
I think they'll add it to T10. But the first 2 submarine line are the German and the USN ones, IJN submarines not come yet.
@@Redstar11277 I don't think it would be too OP, as its size also severly limited its maneuverability and made it a bigger target to shoot at and get hit be depth charges. It was also slower submerged than other, smaller types, like the Type VII and Type IX of the Germans. There was also a peculiar problem that its sail was not centered, causing it to have a larger turning circle to starboard.
Therefore, I do see some way to balance it properly, give it, due to more torpedo tubes, a faster reload and more HP, but limit its speed and maneuverability a bit, maybe make it slower to dive and, as said, its size makes it a bigger and easier to hit target.
tbh i bet that something as famous and popular as I-400 will end up an premium, quite possible during some return of the arpeggio of blue steel stuff so they can squeeze more money from the weebs XD
When will they finally add/release it into the game ? been watching and never see any info on this ..
applied to get in on the test server but never got any mail .

Can i get more information on the radiation communication mentionned in the part explaining the wolfpack tactic? I never heard of that and can’t seem to find information on this.
The wolfpack tactic or "Wolfsrudel Angriffe" basicly mean. One U-Boat is spotting a convoy. She reports the position and the most likey direction to the other Boats around this spot. After that german HQ would say "there are 5 or 7 Boats around, wait for them" Now she has to follow the convoy, until all Boats are present. They start circeling the convoy, like wolfs cirle and study the prey. After some time you see, which of the ships is the slowest. mostlikly they were coverd by other ships. The U-Boats came close and start to blow up the slow ships. After the first few ships are sunk, the convoy would "run away" like animals and the "wolfes" now focus on the slowest ships running away from them. Most convoy ships at the time reached 9-12 knots, the UBoats 17, so they could hunt them down.

Eighteen American shipyards built 2,710 Liberty ships between 1941 and 1945 (an average of three ships every two days), easily the largest number of ships ever produced to a single design.
Ok, and?
Very well done enjoyed it, thank you.
Only issue was the diving horn in this video. Didn't german subs use a ringing bell before dive? That horn in video sounded like the model T horns we used on our subs in the U.S. before a dive.
What's the OST AAAAA
if i remember correctly, i read a book about otto kretschmar
he himself attacked different from every other u-boat captain...
first he doesnt use torpedo compartments. kretschmar: "one ship, one torpedo"
also he doesnt attack from outside of an konvoi
he sneaks inside and attacked from inside (defending ships search outside)
thats is why he was the best .
