Convoy Attack! || U-Boat Gameplay! 

Nothing beats the feeling of respecting the early prize rules and approaching a British merchant, ordering its sailors to GTFO on their lifeboats, and then firing a torpedo to sink it - only for it to be a dud.

Hopefully the War on the Sea Campaign isn't completely lost. I really liked it !

I love the events you can get at sea. Finding that sub was creepy.

31:00 Random Oil Tanker: _GET DOWN MR PRESIDENT!_

Remember the type II has no KDB Hydrophone, only the old lateral GHG. Because it doesn't rotate you have a deaf spot not just in the baffles but directly ahead as well. It's a good idea to do a zig zag during hydrophone checks to be sure you're not sailing right at something you can't hear.

Kind of being nitpicky here, but the Type-IIA did not have a UZO - that's restricted to the IID and later - so what you're using on the conning tower is just good old Binos.

Just for the sake of a comment: you can assign an officer to the depth rudder when the periscope is washed over. This should help also to avoid unwanted breaching of the conning tower. Keep up the great work!

Fun Fact: In the Intro when you left the dock in U-4 , shortly before leaving the Bauhafen, when entering that narrower piece of port you sailed past my workplace. And a few dozen metres to the left of the dock the patrol started, Tirpitz is being built.

Damn that boat is small and primitive! Good on you for getting some serious action with it.

at 7:51 you hit the alarm button on the telegraph

Wolfpack or the debate.... Wolfpack. Thanks for sharing!

Next time, remember, if you are shooting the torpedo to run at 90° to the target’s course, the distance does not matter, only the lead. This is pretty much invariant for angles around that area. So if another ship gets in the line of sight, it will likely catch the torpedo. That is what they meant when they said “overlapping targets” back then. Try to fire so that the time on target is as close as possible: shoot faster torpedoes to further away targets, shoot far targets before launching near targets. And at that weather you may have closed in surfaced or deck awash if you keep your nose towards the enemy. Find out how far away your sub is visible side-on and nose-on…

Wolfpack: *Sounds the alarm.* Also Wolfpack: "WhY iS tHe AlArM rInGiNg?" That was funny.

I would love it if they added more map tools and some of the tools that are missing like the RAOFB and Attack Disc. Not having some of the more "advanced" map drawing tools makes really setting up without having the stupid hydrophone lines drawn a real pain in the ass.

Watching this as my uboat type IIa navigates the Kiel canal in sh3

So i learned something today, The 20MM on the U-4 is not entirely useless early on. If you can get close with Armor Piercing Ammo and aim at the water line on the freighters and spray down their Propellers. you can get the ships to stop, and start to take on water and sink in the rear. Switch to High Explosive and pepper the deck and Bridge to set fires. Just sunk a 5800GRT Freighter off the coast of Bergen in December, 1939.

Loaded all of the torpedoes. All five. This has been the biggest thing holding me back this campagin. I got perfectly on the side of a large convoy and got lucky with one torpedo per ship and still had so many ships left.

The reason alarm has sounded when encountering the second uboat is because you clicked "Achtung" on the speed dial, it starts the alarm. You have to click it again to stop it.

I really do like the interior of the submarine on this new mod. Looking forward to this adventure in Scapa Flow. Remember Prien survived!

I’m also playing a U4 campaign but I think something broke between updates because the buy supplies screen is only showing like a single screen with no uboat storage or navigation bar

The feeling of wiping out two vital assets to a convoy and getting away undetected is something I love doing in this game

I don't quite understand the point of these missions. These small submarines were called coastal submarines in the navy and were used near the coast. Mine laying, port blockades and similar missions. Small, shallow draft, quiet and lightly armed. In the game, they are used in blue water missions like Type VII C and the following. I get seasick when I see this little thing bobbing around on the open sea at the beginning; in reality, that would have been hell for the crews. So far, so inaccurate.

Your boat has the coat of arms of my home town the city of bremen on the conning tower (21:14). That key is an very old symbol. Bremen is in the northwest of germany, 50 k from the north sea. And a lot of Type VIIC where build at the "AG Weser" shipyard, 2 km from where I live. And a lot of Type XXI ones too.

At the tactical side of the thing you're fart better than i ever would be in managing the sub... you plan the attacks better than me, you manage the execution of the atacks far better etc.... But at the operational side of the things you have A LOT of things to improve. A few examples... on the last episode you stocked your boat with wathever torp was available and then you give your crew a leave permit... The "right" thing to do it's to pick the best torps, then send the people on permit, and when they come back check again if the port has been restocked again with modern torps... if they get them, you pick them, if not you just pick the other... you don't loose nothing for wait. Moore examples... don't wait to start the patrol to moove the food to the galley, fill the boat with food, then moove the food to the galley so you can fill your general storage with moroe food. Another one, don't moove all the time on surface with the diesel engine... what I do it's siwtch to electric inmediatly after leaving the port, so i don't waste fuel, when the batteries are at 5-10% change to diesel at moderate speed and let them charge again, and repeat when are charged... you can't believe how far you can reach this way (and that's another reason for stock as many food as you can). Another one, don't abuse your officers... you did the whole aproach to the attack with an exhausted officer managing the engines. This dude should be put to rest bedore you had visual contact with the convoy, and the other engineer had to take his place in the engines; If you have 2 engineers keep them rotating at the engine to save fuel and switch them when they get 50% energy. this way you gonna have them both fresh and save fuel... you don't need to do maintenance at the torps all the time, you just need to have them "warm" when you launch them... then time when you needed to do it was when you made the course correction at 21:51... untill this time you simply can give rest to one engineer ( i can't tell you how many times i've started an attack with the torps warm, just to find that they need maintenance when i have to launch them just because the previous maintenance was do it too soon) Same with the sonar... you had the officer managing the radio all the time until you dived for the attack and sitched to the sonar.... just let them rest you don't knows how long you're gonna need him at the sonar during the attack, so have them fresh. Honestly i tink that if you where the captain managing the attacks, and I'll be the 1st officer managing the boat together we will be a nightmare for the Royal Navy LOL

To answer the question from the first video, I would love a good guide on proper use of the attack computer.

Hello good people, Again, this was another outstanding video from Wolfpack!!!! Like I have said, Wolfpack’s video’s are like reading a story, but seeing it in a movie format!!! Very entertaining, Thanks again!!!!! Looking forward to the next one!!!!!

Love this format. Keep it up! I hope they upgrade your sub soon! (Then again I am commenting on this before the end of the video).

I just finished building my pc to play this game. Thanks for the great gameplay, you make it look easy

Man I really wish they would rework the sound on that AA gun, haha. Sounds more like someone typing on an old typewriter than a 20mm.

Enjoying the same game! Love this and the SHIII series of videos!

*U-Boat special cocktail! Want some?*

Nice attack! The one advantage the type 2 has - it's small size making it possible to get closer before diving.

That buzzer reminds me of that scene with Jonah from Spiderman 3

Love this content WP, Good shooting with 2 eels so far from your little boat! Very effective🍻

that had FTL vibes with the little side mission and the search team ;D

Always excited for a new Wolfpack video! Love the Uboat series!

Love this series! Love seeing the little ships that no one ever uses, makes things much more interesting. :3

U boats spent daylight hours submerged around the coast of the uk during this period , my father was in the Royal Navy during this time. I cannot understand why air patrols don’t catch you , doesn’t seem very realistic swanning about near the UK coastline in daylight .

Do the developers not know why watertight doors are put on submarines? I know this is a small dugout but I sincerely doubt it didn't have any going between compartments. Maybe I am wrong.🤔😁

Really good game Wolf. Good graphics, gameplay, and of course narrative. Thanks bud!!!

Cause we got a little 'ole convoy Sailin' through the night. Yeah, we got a little 'ole convoy Ain't she a beautiful sight? C'mon and join our Convoy Ain't nothin' gonna get in our wa... BOOM!

Another quality episode. Again, your narration really helps with the immersion in ALL your vids. Does the crew seem to move better through the submarine with the latest patches? At first glance it looks like it, but you’re playing so what are your observations?

Great to see another u-boat video from you.

Good video as always and keep up the good work ❤

Thanks for another great video!

Probably a Fleet Auxiliary cargo or transport ship!

Now this is fire

Oh thank heavens, a new Wolfpack video! And Uboat at that!! Today is a good day.

This really is the little canoe that could :D

Always a good day when Wolfpack345 puts out another sub video!

Loving every second of youe uboat videos. Keep up the amazing job!

By far this is my favorite WW2 submarine simulator

OOH NICE! Love me some U-Boat!!!!!!!!!!! Keep em coming!!!!

Aaaah it feels like i was waiting forever for this next episode!

And you would expect for a sub to take a little more than 1 mag of 20mm AA to sink... :D

Beautiful Unterseeboot

Great video as always!

Do the boats still surface slightly aft first? That always drove me nuts. Lol

clean attack

Keep it up, your my best uboat player!

Btw I picked this one up today and was thinking about getting Silent Hunter also but which one does everyone suggest?

Anyone know if they fixed the issue with the ports not having food supplies?

Love watching your video!

What time compression do you use?

Great video!

Wolf, so glad you uploaded. Had me worried for a bit

a 13000 tons tanker is every submariners wet dream

Glad you’re back

Oh man, next one is gonna start off strong. Right off the bat engaging the same convoy again.

Never played the game before pretty much a newbie how do you determine how much supplies to load? Don't want my crew starving to death👍

I love the gameplay and immersion with background story. Is this still Beta version of UBOAT?

there is hoping you can send those eles to sink more shipping and return to base victorious

This is so awesome.

After almost a week I was getting worried about ya! Bought this damn game myself to keep my itch satisfied 😂

19:54 you do know if you did shoot the warship you'd have free control over all of the tankers and merchant ships and order them out of the ship / tell them to evacuate and then us the 20 mil to sink it

Do you like u-boat better than silent hunter now?

Great Job. But I have a Problem with this boat. When I am diving it says that there is no Smutje (Cook) available. What I am doing wrong?

hell yeah another U-boat video

Been waiting all week for this! Thanks.

I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing. In German, a "W" is pronounced as a "V", and a "V" is very soft, like a "F", so "Wilhelmshaven" is pronounced "Vill-helms-harfen" I believe. And yes, "Hartlepool" is pronounced "Hart-lee-pool". :)

This looks like the most complicated game ive ever seen lol

So did the damaged freighter go down or are they still sailing by? I have been enjoying the beta though, they’ve been pretty good with squishing bugs

Great video as always man, but make more war on the sea please 🥹👉👈

I was waiting for the best content creator to post!

Is there any updates on when this version will get released and not just in beta or is it the standard Soon™? The game looks very much improved and I am looking forward to it. Great vid series Wolf

The Admiralty is going to want to put you in a better boat soon.

Can you give us the mod you have installed to play, or wich mod are best to enhanced uboot ? Thanks

Good vid as usual.

Great episode right there!

Could you tell me please the version of the game you are running?

Pssshhhww thought i was going to have to work another night without a mission update 🤣

I haven't watched these videos in full. Is there a possibility of an air attack? That should be a real threat for these subs running on the surface during the daytime.

U4 is not a Handelsschiff. It hunts them!

Good job.

Is it possible to get our hands on the Beta with a code?

How do I change my uboat type?

Do you guys think thay would eventually add the Type IX (9) Uboats into the game as Actually playable?

I still have hope for Type XXI

Lmao someone said turn on the debate but fuck that we got a wolfpack u boat video.

Grerat sinkings and episode
