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.
"Portuguese Speaker" is a very important trait for the may 1945 missions, hold onto that radioman
What happens then
@@whitewolf-xf9ui a lot of nazis fled to South America after the war
1 way trip to South America with Señor H.
@@nobleknight7472 wait that's actually a mission in it I don't think anyone's gotten that far into campaign
@@whitewolf-xf9uiNah, you probably try to make it to Portugal to surrender.
In the future when receiving a radio report on a contact by another Uboat pay closest attention to the first 2 digits. The contact position in the radio report after 1:23 would be in AM43 based on the large map. The 5 refers to a specific sector within AM43.
I think he just misread it. I was screaming for him to go back and check it again 🤣
@@firebladenut We all were! 😂
I’ve been tuning into your series frequently, as it’s the best series on this game I’ve seen so far. I like the realism in it, and it seems that nobody else is making content on this game in episodic format.
His Silent Hunter 3 Mediterranean Series is so damn good
I'll second this. This series is my favorite on youtube currently.
It seems that you are not searching YT properly...or rather, it seems that YT simply doesn't care about giving you what you look for :)
there is indeed people making content on this game in episodic format...
I mean...I'm already in my third U-Boat Career. First one was in 2022.1, second one during Beta, and now I'm in the middle of a career in the Mediterranean with U-559...
@@ramjb RUclips definitely has a history of that for me. Not caring about the kinds of channels I block or report, and keeps on recommending me them.
@@AndrewTheMandrew531 You don't have to tell me...YT algorythm is being anything but nice to me...
anyway, you now know :). As long as my accent is not a problem, plenty of Uboat content on my channel too :D
i love to go sleep watching your U-boat/silent hunter, Nothing get sleep so fast for me than watching das boat episode :)
Me too, he paints a cool story
literally same, soo relaxing
ALAAAAAAARM!
It's like 1.8mg melatonine ....
😂 It happens all the time to me either .... this RUclips channel has been awarded the Knights Cross with Oak leafs and swords for a life time achievements in the fight against insomnia 😅.
REAL It's not like you get bored, it's more like a cool story, almost like a lullaby 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm getting hungry from all the nice hams hanging from the ceiling. Westfalen perhaps? 😂
Same bro 😂😂😂
That would go nicely with the cheese.
I just took out an Isles with the 20mm this weekend, it's fairly effective if used correctly. I came at them from the stern after they'd passed above (and I'd sunk the Flowers with my last eel), surfaced and hurried my officer to the gun. Loaded HE to rake the deck, drilled their side with a magazine of AP when they turned to engage, and finished them off with more HE. Their little main cannon got a few rounds off toward me; only one struck the conning tower, though. She sunk pretty fast after I'd unloaded on her, and I scurried off to continue escorting troop ships to Norway.
(The accompanying destroyer was crippled by an Isles shortly after leaving Wilmshaven and left dead in the water, the useless thing, and I had been left to escort them alone the rest of the way)
This needs fixing really. A boat vs any destroyer loses on the surface surfacing is suicidal and dumb.
Sinking one with a machine gun is just beyond...
I hope they fix this and improve gunnery on destroyers and escorts. Even old sub aims punished you for this.
2:02 I wasn't paying too much attention and heard "I need to get Pervert here on to the radio". Good luck, crew. It'll be a long voyage.
"If we get to the bottom of the cheese incident we can feed the Submariners just cheese there won't be a need for improved toilets." BDU
I grew up playing Silent Service on my Amiga, and this is like that dream simulation that you picture in your head, as a kid. I could soooo easily fall down this games rabbit hole.
You can absolutely sink vessels with the 20mm cannon. It’s actually not that difficult, I’d say it takes about the same amount of time as the type VII deck gun.
(Not realistic I know, but you can do it! In the early game with a type IIA you often find lone ships in the North Sea, you can just park next to them, ask the enemy crew to get off then it’s just a easy minute of shooting to sink the ship.
I use about 250-300 20mm shells
I would argue it’s not that far from reality. You could work a pretty sizable hole in the side of an unarmored freighter. Certainly with a couple hundred 20mm rounds on the waterline you could sink a decent sized ship. Might take hours or days to sink but sink it would.
better to just get an engineer with the scuttle skill
@@jonathangoliath91how do you get that early game? Need to gain points no?
@@TheKepthat’s valid. I guess I forget how big 20mm actually is. That’s way past 50cal. Definitely enough to chew up an unarmored hull!
Weirdly the big deck gun in the game doesn’t seem to be “better” though? Dunno it’s weird. Obviously the sinking mechanics are a bit off anyway due to the HP system.
The 20 mm deck weapon of type II subs is not a machine gun, it is a cannon, and hits like a truck against light warships. With HE ammunition put on fire merchants not too hard too. Some people claims that is overpowered.
Overpowered in the early game maybe. Later on with armed merchants and grouped vessels it'll be much less useful for that and relegated to AA duties, and nearly useless in that front once Allied air superiority and radar comes around.
@@jessegd6306 so it's realistic in that early war there's alot of gun action and late war they're barely used
Love this game. Been Playing since 5 years ago. Full Release has been an amazing experience.
Cant wait for him to get the Type VIIC
1941 and I already got the Type VIIC/41. I got bounced by a squadron of 8 Beaufighters and Sunderland back to Brest, the AA guns may be a little OP at this point along with the unrealistic "flak" AA shells for the deck gun which one shots everything if properly aimed. Firing the quadruple AA shuts down any approaching aircraft no problem. Sadly its SFX sounds pretty mid, it's the same as the other 2cm guns.
You have yet to update your description for the game Wolf, it's still the early access one, also use the 20 mm to start fires with HE, rather than trying to sink it physically with the AP
I personally found AP to be better, get real close and shoot at the water line
he only brought AP on board, maybe next time in port he can stock on HE
HE is for aircraft, an officer with the gunner trait is very effective.
Keep these U-boat series coming and Wolfpack is the best u-boat commander
I've learned that when interacting with unarmed merchants, you can signal them that you are going to sink them, while some will begin to evade (not an issue if you were going to take them down with the deck gun), others will immediately start evacuating. It's pretty nice when you can sink a ship without spending even a single shell or torpedo.
With one of the tier 2 skills for an engineer you can send him over to sink it without expending any resources at all. Pretty nice to be able to save ammo for convoys and such. Might also be helpful on harder economy settings; I haven't touched that setting yet.
@@FlowerMareEnjoyer I haven't stocked dynamite since the tutorial mission with that skill. One of the few times I only send over a single officer.
The only abandoned ship you can't board is warships, so you still have to spend a few 88mm rounds.
@@AHersheyHere I haven't tried to get anywhere near warships since late '40. Still haven't figured out how to deal with ASDIC in water too deep for me to lay on the sea floor and wait for them to stop searching. The exact mission after I upgraded to the first type 7 I got pinged while waiting ahead of a convoy and ended up with every compartment except the galley flooded.
@@FlowerMareEnjoyeriron caskets
@@FlowerMareEnjoyer If you are pointed towards the ship that is pinging you it is harder for them to pick you up with the sonar. If they are depth charging, flank speed and a 90 degree turn as they begin their run to evade. Depth charges also disrupt their sonar so you can take advantage of that and run a little before slowing down again. Run deep, run slow, and everytime they detect you or begin an attack run change course.
Full release of UBOAT is really amazing, today I had attacked a convoy and a wolfpack of 3 type VIIs joined in mid-attack. Love this game and your videos even more
I love it when the wolf pack jumps in after my torpedo hits and the destroyers chase the louder pack and I get to deck gun blast the fleeing cargo ships with impunity
Yes but it's pretty scripted. The game spawns those uboats nearby I believe.
@@RonJeremy514 wouldn't be surprised, but I've happened upon uboats in the wild following engine noises before
I get my gaming laptop tomorrow, and I'm really excited to finally play this for myself. I've been watching you play this for years now
60 second crew 🙌 Big fan Wolfpack, going back through some of your SH3 campaigns. Keep doing what you're doing brother
all great games!
I applaud you for letting the crew evacuate. It was a risky proposition in the actual war.
at 24:06 he kills them with bullets bouncing off from the hull.
Never shoot a gun -or a heavy machine gun- in the general direction of something or someone that you don't want dead.
@@joker_g7337 so, he began with mercifully informing the captain “I’m going to sink your ship. Take your men and get clear.” to then mercilessly machine gunning them all like fish in a barrel.
Wait a minute. Are we the baddies?
the full release is so cool, gotta love the new boats
a bunch of German soldiers transfer over from a sub which literally just popped up in front of you in the middle of the night, but only one of them wers a helmet?... what a crazy sight to behold that would be for our Portugese friends, especially since one of them just answers you by speaking fluent Portugese too
I don’t think I’ve ever been this early but loving this series and probably gonna buy this in the future.
I was about to fall asleep but thought I'd check for a Wolfpack video. My optimism was rewarded. Even better, it's submarine action. 😊❤❤😊
Page from the journal of Gunners Mate 2nd Class, Thomas Cook
August 18th 1940
Well this is a surprise ! Lieutenant Michaels told me Happy Birthday and handed me a 24 hour pass ! I’m not gonna say “No” to a pass haha !
August 19th 1940
Well back to the Escapade once again. Back to my duties.
August 20th 1940
We got word today that we’ll be going out with an Anti-Submarine group or a “Hunter Group” as the lads like to call it. This is a welcome change seeing as the Huns are less likely to attack a group of warships.
August 21st 1940
First day of this patrol and we haven’t seen a bloody thing ! Then again there are six of us so a smart U Boat Skipper would definitely stay away.
Honestly I would mind a stupid one every once in awhile so we can slowly start thinning out their numbers and start getting some necessary supplies to England !
Mother told me in her last letter how they’ve already started dishing out ration stamps there and they gotta make do with only a few ounces of meat per week !
August 22nd 1940
HA “Ask and ye shall receive” our Preacher would always say !
One of our Hydrophone operators came across a submerged contact not far from us. It was a might worrisome when we heard the ship on our Starboard side said they heard a loud THUD on their hull shortly after our callout.
Since we were slightly ahead and still moving at full speed, we were in the best position to make the attack first. So we did !
Our Hydrophone said they were increasing their speed but there’s no way they could out run us. A couple minutes later we started rolling our depth charges and after the waters calmed down the Hydrophone operator said he heard their screws slowing down and what sounded like muffled shouting. “Confirmed Kill” I said to myself, and afterwards we sailed off with our little task force.
A couple hours later I was on the observation deck with Michaels where I THOUGHT I saw what looked like a small boat. I let Michaels know and he just said “Nah lad, you’re probably still jumpy from earlier, ‘cause I don’t see anything out there.”.
I still wonder if that was my mind and adrenaline working against me, or if that really was one of them U Boats. Also I hope the boat we sunk today was the same one who attacked the convoy we were escorting last month… but I have a feeling that bastard is still out there. I don’t know who you are mate, but I’m coming after ya !
the lore is insane
The shipboard hydrophone would not be able to detect a Uboat that far. Warships make a lot of noise and the Uboat is comparatively pretty silent even with the diesels operating.
Pls upload more u boat I love the series very much and I think it’s really cool 😎
I just can't stop watching you videos dude. Keeps me entertained while at work keep up the good job bud.
Love this series soo much pls don’t stop uploading this series😊😊😊
A few info comparing 20mm and 88 mm ( below based on quick internet search = may get better info with more time :- )
20 mm is rated to go through 20mm steel plate , a cargo may have 10 to 15 cm steal plate
Surface of hole(pi() R^2 ): 88mm deck gives 61 cm2 hole and 20 mm gun 3.14 cm2=> so need 19 round of 20mm to have the same entry hole size as a 88mm deck gun ...Shooting at close range(as in video) on ~water line with 20mm should be very effective
Note 100 round of 20mm gives 314 cm2 =3.14 m2 = 1 m diameter --- pretty big hole already with 100 round ...
3,14m^2 = 2 m diameter.
But!!! 314 cm^2 is just 0,0314 m^2.
;-)
10:45
But they're not 'merchant ships', Wolfie - They're...
*Snaps fingers dramatically*
'WORKING ships', sugar!
💋💅💃
There were mods for SH3 that linked visible food supplies and beard growth to fuel storage (inverse). Hope someone makes this for this game as well.
If the devs continue to work on the game , I can see 'U-Boat' eventually surpassing 'Silent Hunter III'.
Its kind of interesting to see how much range you can get even out of the Type 2 subs if you do some weird stuff.
If you use the Electric engines on the Surface and only switch to diesel to recharge the batteries every now and then these can go around 12-15000 km
8:10 that joy ride was the funniest thing I’ve seen in this game
I Really love the sea/wave animation...very immersive. 👍
And here I was thinking the boarding action was about delivering those supplies to the crippled U-boot :-D
I love your U-Boat videos. Please continue including the educational bits in them!
It just keeps getting better
What method are you using to find the course of the enemy ship over time? Really enjoying your videos. :)
I am fascinated by this game, I am out of nowhere starting to get an actual submarine interest.
Loving the frequent uboat uploads!
I can't wait till all the expanded mods are updated for this.
I love the U-boat videos so much. I hope to see more soon😊
Could we get some longer episodes please? Or even some double episodes? 😊
Believe it or not, the 20mm is fantastic against fast attack craft. Was cornered by 3 of them in 15 meters of water and so i turned around and engaged them one by one as they came about.
I say it everytime love your videos and cant wait for the next episode!
Man, this game is pretty. There are a few things that could stand to be reworked a little, but it is otherwise an incredibly good-looking game. Darn fun too, after you've got the ins and outs of the game under your belt.
the krigsmarine did train its radiomen as medics in real life too
i like these vids. I'd like to see a combination of the cold waters and gunner heat series
All of your playthroughs are super enjoyable
The 20mm antiair gun on the type II does a ridiculous amount of damage to cargo ships I sank about 5 and only used half of the available ammo, felt cheesy but great way to quickly grind to a type VII, unfortunately now in my campaign most cargo ships have small deck guns so surface combat is nearly impossible unless its a lone ship
There seem to be a lot more warships patrolling around the UK, even with the type VIIB I'm having trouble finding any merchant ships in the early war
This location would not be the best, and I know the crew of a Type IIb is small, BUT ... would taking the ship as a prize, placing a prize crew aboard, and getting it into German controlled waters be valid and helpful? All that food certainly wouldn't go to waste anywhere.
Textbook boarding! lol, I'll assume they raided supplies and pulled the drain plug _before_ they left.
@Wolfpack345 Have you ever been to the U-505 exhibit in Chicago?
hey there cool stuff, is there any mods you recommend for the game ? like do you have a video about it
More u-boat please :) love this game and your the best wolfpack
A possible thought for you Wolfpack, have you thought about titling these U-Boat vids the same as your SH3 & 4playthroughs? in a separate playlist & Patrol 1 Ep 1 for example. RUclips is a sucker when I watch the latest and then the next video it plays was from 2years ago or something. I absolutely suck at these kinda games personally, but watching you play makes it look effortless. Some food for thought :) Looking forward to this playthrough.
Just found your channel, really enjoying the U-boat videos.
when approaching any ships or boats during time of war always be at General Quarters with your deck guns manned.
Am I the only one that heard ORE-ships instead of Warships? Glad he said it twice :'D
New sub here. Just got this game yesterday and trying to learn as much as possible. Thanks!
Tutorial series soon?
No real torpedo man would ever load a war shot without eyes.
You can drag and drop your crew on the bottom right to sort them by specialty.
i love these vids thank you
Another great show , many thanks !!
The smaller deck gun works fine when you have a half sunk cargo ship. You can finish it off in a couple of salvos. I just did like an hour ago, think I was using he ammo.
Those crewman should have painted the eels yellow so they blow up better.
The devs added an option to disable the stabilization for periscopes and stuff. You need to start a new game to disable it, but the motion sickness coming with it, really adds to the immersion.
No periscope stability makes the game frustrating. I tried with no stabilization and got fed up with the constant motions where you cant make any sort of calculations until the ships are on top of you because the scopes just kept going all over the place and all you do is constant fighting to try and keep it still which is IMPOSSIBLE. I now use partial stabilization because I want it to be enjoyable even thought I want to keep immersion at 100% where you still have to track everything without knowing where they are, but the scopes jumping around just aint fun to play with. Even the officers scope stabilization skill is useless where it states that it stabilizes manual scopes but it doesnt.
That was a very gentlemanly episode. 😄
Two magazines of 20mm to sink a ship?! Good thing no one over there had sneezed earlier, might've blown the bow clean off
I have to admit. U-Boat is giving Silent Hunter a run for their money in game quality and in depth details. Turning into a decent sub sim.
Many people here still disagree with that including Wolfpack, but I personally see that there is more potential even though I agree there are unrealistic things in this game which need to be tuned properly. The game is made with Unity and if we compare apples to apples, yes SH3 GWX Gold and OneAlex are more realistic than the current Uboat. But SH3 vanilla now is pretty mid let's face it. Uboat vanilla is a lot better as a base game. Now we need the same level of modding for Uboat and it could surpass GWX no problem while running very stable. The potential is there, it will depend on the modding community but to some, Silent Hunter is Silent Hunter and it's the best subsim ever, and will not come over to Uboat to make the latter the best subsim ever.
uboat is great
Thanks for the share ! My main game is DCS buuuuuuut I love simulation and with your video i want to give Uboat a shot !
The boarding is super fun and rewarding and a great way to save torps. Even more so when it turns out they aren't enemy.
I haven't lost a crew yet, anyone who has how ans what happened?
I've only done it in good sea states, and I armed them as I'm OTT.
I see some of the crew is still enjoying their well earned leave :)
We are heading into action?! ... I will start the soup!
I would play this game myself, but i fear i'm too stupid for it. Watching you do it is entertaining enough.
Loving this play through. Soon I'll reinstall this game which was bought (so Steam tells me) in 2021(!) on your recommendation. Looking forward to it.
The way the sub bounces on the waves, you musta needed a strong stomach when surfaced in anything but calm waters
I'm not going to lie, the water in this game is so realistic.
I believe a professional crew would have at the time dived to identify the propellers and confirm they are warships instead of trying to get closer.
Bro ur on fire with uploading.
I fucking love it!
I hope you keep posting videos, very entertaining.
The warships you encountered, could be a task force searching vor german heavy cruiser "Admiral Hipper". He brake trough to northern
Atlantic just around this date and time.
Kinda sad the negotiations have to end like that when the ship's captain welcomed you respectfully even as a foe
NEW WOLFPACK VID LETS GOOOOOO
Haha you sounded like Bea is and butthead at 12:55 😂😂😂😂 class man
oh dang, hot off the press :o always love seeing submarine videos, though xD
Dang I didn't realize the size difference in those two subs lol
Addicted to these vids
MORE U-BOAT! WOOOOOO!
The game has accurate moon phases, I checked it against stellarium and 16 August 1940 was indeed a full moon.
Love the vids. Great work.
Yo Wolfpack. It’s been a little while but can you revisit cold waters with the Soviet Union. either than that I absolutely love the content with U-Boat and look forward to U-137 future successes.
I'm betting the crew id DEAD INSIDE that boot
well I was wrong lol
20mm machine gun is "a bit overpowered" in this game 😅 Need to be balanced which I guess will be taken care of in future patches/mods. thanks for another exciting episode! @Wolfpack345 edit: just applied patch 2024.1 patch 11 which, amongst other things, reduce 20mm gun efficacy
Quite the bummer for the Portuguese crew.
I can not get a torpedo to hit at all lol
This game looks really interesting to me, but I haven't been able to determine if there is more than just the one submarine in the game to play as. Are there different subs to unlock/progress through? I think the tech tree is really neat but it would also be good to be able to play as a different type of submarine.
Love the vids great work on this and love this game wish it came to console
