I've had this game in my library my about eight months now, and thanks to this real tutorial I now know what is going on. Explaining what everything on the HUD is absolutely excellent, and then going on to show working examples makes for a great tutorial...Lite-ly Salted you've done more than enough to get a sub from me, many thanks indeed, I can now really enjoy this game.
I realize this video is a year old now but I'll comment in anyway. I have been a Silent Hunter Fan since it came out basically one through five. In some ways the graphics on Silent Hunter and the maneuverability I like much better. I've had this game in my library paid for for over a year and just never really played it well the truth is I played it for about 10 minutes didn't like it cuz I didn't understand it and walked away from it. After watching some tutorial videos and figuring out what I'm doing and learning how to do the Torpedoes which were very similar to Silent Hunter I am amazed at how much I love this game. I am very happy to say this game is much better than Silent Hunter. I thought I would hate managing the crew I enjoy that too and once you learn how to effectively hunt for ships it is a fantastic game. Nice video I enjoyed it.
I agree, I've also been a long fan of SH 1-5 and backed this game, not really played it much as I'm waiting for the full release, but have a play every now and then when the updates come out. the game has just got better and better - stick with it, sure you're love it! Also look up the TDC mod if you haven't already, it's a torpedo gamechanger.
hi, really enjoying your vids. do you have a video where it shows what its like to be under attack from enemy, i'd like to see what the game is like when you are taking damage, get sunk, how to survive, etc.
Hey lightly Salted. I dont know if you have already done one but would you consider a video dedicated to stealth and evasion. If they know im there almost every time my goose is cooked. Thanks for the help!!
Thank you for these explaination! And the sound is good! (but there a "puck" in your intro jingle sound at 00:04... sorry to say that but it's not very agreable for our speakers).
@@Lite_lySalted Another Uboat game to keep an eye on is Crush Depth.....from what little they have shown it looks like it could be a good FPP, it definitely has potential.
@@Lite_lySalted Man let me tell ya Wolfpack is kickn my arse.......when you think you have the torpedo course just right you completely miss and none the wiser why. Been hittn the tutorial hard trying to get it down but with minimal success.
@@Lite_lySalted ah thanks! Much appreciated. Your tutorials and videos are super informative and fun to watch. As an aside I absolutely luv your pen name simply because during some of your outros you happen to say it juust right and it sounds like your actually salty about something. It makes me giggle :p anyway keep up the good work. ^_^
Very nice work! under graphic setting it seems like under preset medium is much better quality than extreme not sure what's going on made several tests
My radio operator went nuts when the boatswain burned the eggs. I had to subdue the operator and put the boatswain in the brig to get morale back up...how cool is that?
hi i have question im about to buy this game but im wondering why nobody plays this game first person is there any problem with that or just nobody loves it
Your torpedoes can only steer so much, in front is best. When ships are evading, there is no way to automatically target them. You'd have to do it manually based off best guess.
@@Lite_lySalted one more thing during tracking / creating torpedo course, should the sub be stopped or moving at slow speeds. And while attacking ships when we cant set an interception course how to track them, also sometimes battery is draining just after starting from dock & the sub is on surface not in water. What is the way to keep an eye on everything.
@Jump By stop or slow is best. For the battery, check to make sure you are not set to electric engines, or running other equipment (causes drain). For the tracking, take a look at some of my vids
@Lite_ly Salted last time I spotted some war ships(3) and my sub was perpendicular to them at 3.5kms away when I asked skipper and engineer to calculate the course and when are calculating u didn't skip time & they took the time and couldn't calculate course all the ships sailed away, why they take so much time to plot a course. And when I tried to manually calculate the course and when I fired the torpedo crew says 10 seconds to impact but in map the torpedoes are just in front of the sub.
There must have been some kind of update that directly affects this because no matter what I turn off and put everyone to bed do everything in this video there is no possible way for me to get the noise below 78 dB. And am still on track down by Destroyers.
Hi Lite, my appoligies this question doesnt tie in with your vid but was wondering if you could help. Today I tried to continue with my game after not playing since Nov 11. Before B 128 was introduced. However since logging in today it seems I cant 'continue' after my last save. Apparantly I'm still running B127 Hotfix 4. There are no prompts for me to download the update and I assumed it was an automatic download anyway. The game is only allowing me to start again from scratch. Ive played 92 hours and have advanced my boat and crew ect ect, so really don't want to start again. Have you heard of this happening and is there a way of correcting this? Thankyou very much and ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
5:16 The more of the noise indicator I see the less sense it makes. I cannot for the life of me come up with any way to make those five numbers come out to 91dB. The breakdown seems useless for anything other than letting you know what to shut off.
A difference of 3 dB means something is twice as loud; A difference of -3 dB means half as loud. The indicator tells you your engines produce 88 dB and the total amount of noise is 91 dB. So, seeing the 3 dB difference, we know that we produce twice the noise (in total) our engines make. If we shut everything down except propulsion, we become half as detectable. Using the differences we can get in the 'ball-park' of the real number. 88 dB is our loudest sound; 86 dB is 2 lower and therefore 63% of the noise of the engines; 84 dB is 4 lower (40% of noise-level); two 80 dB noises (is equal to one 83 dB noise) is about 1/3 of the engine-noise. In total we have about 240% [total noise] compared to the [engine-noise] so about 4 decibels higher (actually 3,8). Any number between 91-92 decibels is about right (round-off errors). To actually calculate it: In order to add decibels together, you first need to transform them from logarithmic to linear; then add them together; last we transform linear back to logarithmic to get the total dB-value. 88 decibel = 10^8,8 = 630.957.344,48 86 dB = 10^8,6 = 398.107.170,55 84 dB = 10^8,4 = 251.188.643,15 80 dB = 10^8 = 100.000.000 80 dB = 10^8 = 100.000.000 Total = 1.480.253.158,18 99% of this = 1.465.450.626,60 (due to 1% surface disturbance) log (1.465.450.626,60) = 9,166 multiply by 10 to get decibels: 91,66 dB (close enough) Hope this helps.

You're finally getting me into this game with the clear and well-made tutorials.
Thanks!
brilliant, I picked up quite a few tips from this. I kept wondering why the convoy destroyers found me so easily. many thanks fella.
Happy to help
Great stuff! I'm always getting something new from these tutorials. Thanks for the work you put into these videos.
Thanks for the feedback

Great tutorial. Very instructional and clear. Must-see everyday on youtube.
Good work as per. Loved this.
This was very useful. It turns out it wasn't a good idea to sail past two destroyers with my periscope up! Thank you!!

(Just want to point out its "modifier" not "multiplier")
I wonder if that emergency blow tanks coulda saved me a few times when I had holes in the sub.
Possible
Depends whether the hole-puncher was still around at the surface........................

@@Lite_lySalted thanks lol, actually found it on ur other video after i saw this one
hi i have question im about to buy this game but im wondering why nobody plays this game first person is there any problem with that or just nobody loves it
There are many people that play first person. I personally don't.
Can we attack ships from any angle or they should be infront of us. Ships sometimes circle around or move in zigzig manner how to target them?
Your torpedoes can only steer so much, in front is best. When ships are evading, there is no way to automatically target them. You'd have to do it manually based off best guess.

@@jumpby7111 automatic targetting takes a long time. If your torps are not going anywhere then you've made an error in the manual calculation.

Yes the latest update was Oct 15
Any plans on a new career soon Salted? Pardon me me if you’ve answered this already. I’ve been playing IL2. Thanks and Merry Christmas!!!
A career playthrough you mean?
Yes. That’s what I mean.

The new build is not save compatible, sorry. As each new build comes out, you need to start a new boat.
@@Lite_lySalted I was very much afraid of that. Thanks for the response. Happy hunting.
How do you change the periscope view to that one instead of the default one?
The controls at the left.
@@Lite_lySalted not the zoom, but the mode where you can only see what's through the periscope and not just the periscope
@@Nolsen yes, I understand what you're asking. The controls are on the left. Try around 11:30 here: ruclips.net/video/X5G2dqY7TLo/видео.html

84 dB = 10^8,4 = 251.188.643,15
80 dB = 10^8 = 100.000.000
80 dB = 10^8 = 100.000.000
Total = 1.480.253.158,18
99% of this = 1.465.450.626,60 (due to 1% surface disturbance)
log (1.465.450.626,60) = 9,166
multiply by 10 to get decibels: 91,66 dB (close enough)
Hope this helps.
