T5 can hunt allied subs and even yours, keep that in mind and always stop engines before firing. They will also hunt abandoned ships. Also they will always go for the propellers, and sometimes do minimal damage. I sunk a carrier with only 2 T5s but couldn't kill a cruiser with many more. They are very efficient on alarmed corvettes though. You should engage with T3s and keep T5s for emergency shooting. Firing T5 from long distance will never do what you need, unless there is only one target. TL;DR T5 user manual: select a random target, enter whatever numbers, stop engines, flood only one tube, shoot and wait till something goes kaboom.

ok so: T1: are ok to use if ur low on bread. like early in the game... T2: Forget these exist. T3: Best Torpedo in game. T5: is a Sonar Hunter... it will always whiz past whatever you wanted to kill and then attack whatever target it wants or hears the strongest, and if ur trying to be tactful....

@aghostofrazgriz5137 3 года назад

Remember to go to Engines 2 or Lower, or the Torpedo COULD track your own Cavitation. Also, TIME WARP is NOT a T5s friend. If it DOSE track you, Engines to Stop, Lights to Blue, and dive. The torpedo wont dive with you.

@cumgoat 3 года назад

You did it. You explained my question about boat orientation and torpedos from the other video. You're my hero. Here's a follow up: is that realistic? Did ww2 torpedos actually have the ability to do a complete 180 out of the back tubes like that? Thanks

@Lite_lySalted 3 года назад

To the best of my knowledge, no. Max turn radius would have been 90

@harag9 Год назад

@@Lite_lySalted Agree, I think max was 90 back in the real world, however now it's been 2 years do we know id this has been changed yet or is it still unlimited? (not played the game for ages so not followed any fixes so might have missed this).

@Cdre_Satori 2 года назад

They either reworked it somewhere before b131 or it's just bc of the easy economy but T2s main advantage is no bubbles and 0 pricetag, making it cheap for resupplying the warehouse with T3s. Also I found that since T5s take so long to reach their target and hit usually the sterm at high angles it might be beneficial to set them at magnetic detonation.

Great video. Now that it's 2 years old, what is the current state of them vs back then? any idea if any changes were done. Also you didn't mention any sort of minimum distance issue, I believe in real life it has to be over 300 meters before they arm, is that true in game?

@Lite_lySalted Год назад

Some changes here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TO3XNQP8hYI.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tp7x4GI58zI.html And from my own testing, torps will not arm below 230m distance

@jameslanz2117 3 года назад

What you said about firing the rear torpedo at someone abeam you or in front of you is true HOWEVER the further away your torpedo is from a zero Gyro angle (which means the more your torpedo has to turn) the more accurate you NEED to have the range estimate. When you fire a torpedo with a zero Gyro angle range does not matter or becomes so insignificant tat it virtually does not matter. I know it sounds absurd but it’s true.

@Perktube1 2 года назад

Why heat the T-1s? I mean irl. T-2s needed their battery warmed for extended range. But the T-1 has a chemical reacting with seawater that produces the steam. I guess the devs didn't consider this.

Hey folks! I'm an old subsim freak from way back Silent Hunter 1 vintage. DOS even! I have an old hp laptop now with graphics emulation. I'm looking at a top of the line Alienware m19 ? My question, will these super gaming laptops handle graphics heavy and CPU heavy games like simulations? Also, are laptops hardware upgradeable? I really don't want another paperweight in 5 years. I would like to stick with a laptop but I would consider a home pc tower. Thanks to all in advance to an old simulator bubblehead.

@James-ih2lr 3 года назад

Yes Alienware laptops will handle almost any game. Some are upgradeable, it's not really a useful feature. Better off getting a gaming desktop that you can upgrade in a few years piece by piece.

@pengwin9 3 года назад

I may have missed you cover it...but how can you snap shoot a torp? I want to just pop a torp in the water going roughly where the periscope is pointing without getting a range and course and everything?

@Lite_lySalted 3 года назад

You need to enter values before you can flood any tubes

@zulu0489 3 года назад

Actually, you don't have to. When you are in Sehrohr- (periscope) or UZO-View, click the torpedo sign (on the bottom of the column) on the left side of the screen. You will then be able to set the spread (if you do a Fächerschuss (fan-shot)) by degrees and not meters. Important! Do not lock on to a ship, because then you will have to enter speed, course and distance.

@rochandesai6060 3 года назад

Nice video..!!! But I have noticed that T5s turn 180 degree to hit my boat even in calm sea.. I don't think surface noice is an issue.. T5s are best only when warships are steaming towards us and we fire at them from short distance like 500-600 meters.. it hits them in front and sinks the warships.. if we fire from longer distance then T5 pass the warships then makes 180 degree turn, follow warship and hits in propeller.. I am not sure but I have experienced that T5 does lot less damage than any other torpedoes. May be because it hits in propeller and because of angle..!! Not sure...

@Lite_lySalted 3 года назад

@bimmerbomber2002 3 года назад

Submarine orientation on torpedo launch doesnt matter, and that's how it should work. That's accurate. Torpedoes would have their own gyrocompasses to navigate. The weapons crews would set a course for the torpedo gyrocompass, and once it was shot, it would adjust and stear itself onto that course. The course of the submarine itself was irrelevant.

@Lite_lySalted 3 года назад

Yes and no. The gyro was only capable of certain turns. 180 degrees from the rear tube would have been impossible
