The Game That Simulates the "Fun" of being in a WW2 Submarine - UBOAT 

Bro forgot to heat the torpedoes

If only College could micro the side of a merchant ship Edit: After watching the video, merchant ships and corvettes are too much, but a Battleship and Escort Carrier are easy dubs

It always weirds me out that Switzerland has a Merchant Marine.

"The Seltic sea" The Irish will remember that.

RAHHHHHHH U-BOAT MENTIONED. TRILLIONS MUST DIVE

Shoots 3 cold torpedoes at highly inappropriate angles - "See, two of them were duds". Man, that uboat has 1 dud, and it's the captain.

"international law gets in the way of me having fun." That's another way of doing a few War Crimes lol. 🤣

"I can hit it sir." "Are you sure, ensign?" "Aye, sir. Absolutely [99%]." -peak realism of human confidence.

The IRL raid on Scapa Flow had extra significance for the Kriegsmarine as that's where the Hochseeflotte scuttled itself after WW1 rather than be handed over to the French and British navies

7:44 dude in front of you was about to lose his mind

Definitely need a series on this! The game looks hella cool!

At 13:10 when you tried to hit the corvets the issue wasnt the accuracy of the torpedoes but the travel depth! Idk how you call it in english but due to the fact that corvets are very light their bows only reach about a meter into the water so your torpedoes just went under them! Aswell if you shoot two torpedoes the game messures the spread by what you picked, divides that in half and lets the torpedoes hit that far away from where they would have hit by default. Due to this fact you should never shoot torpedoes with spread when the ships are small! PS: The higher the angle of the torpedo the higher the likelyhood of a dud :)

You were wise to fear the mighty Swiss naval power.

"What's the name of your uboat, Captain?" "USS Tang." "Very weird name for a german uboat, but your record speaks for itself. Carry on."

I actually remember a video of another RU-vidr I watch playing this game…. Like 5 years ago. To be totally honest I thought this game was just abandoned, so for it after all this time to still be worked on and now be fully released is awesome

I felt honored to see that you chose Ryan Gosling as your captains name (he is literally me)

The people yearn for more U-Boat

I love this game, I usually play this with 98% realism, plotting the torpedo course manully is just so satisfying. Also order your engineer to conduct torpedo maintenance before the attack to reduce duds

Each of those torpedoes costs about as much as a house. Let that sink in for a minute.

We need moar uboat mr gosling sir

In total, 66 attacks were recorded by the Brazilian Navy on German submarines in the South Atlantic, which resulted in the damage or sinking of 18 submarines off the Brazilian coast, of which nine - U-128, U-161, U-164, U-199 , U-513, U-590, U-591, U-598 and U-662 - were officially recorded by the German Navy as having been sunk by the Brazilian Navy.

10:10 my guy seems very unconcerned that you're shooting AA right over his head

1:54 I Dive

Dude! Your awesome for playing this game! I've been playing it for 3 days now and I hated how I kept missing my torpedoes, but now I understood that my officers can do it, I'll have all the fun I want forever!

Corvettes have a low hull, so there is not much in the water to hit 13:40

My dad is a ship captain, took surveyors to Scapa flow to 3D map the wreck of the Royal Oak! The scans are awesome to look at 😃

This looks pretty cool, just like those classic u-boat games from the 2000's or when ever those all came out

I enjoyed it and I definitely would like some more Uboat videos!

0:18. They keep forgetting this lesson

The game looks good but I feel like SH3 GWX captured that Das Boot feeling better. That constant "ping" sound from destroyers and depth charge explosions when you are underwater hoping it to be all over was pure terror.

Always good to see more Uboat content out there. For the duds where it says AZ you can click that and turn it to Magnetic. Angles don't matter on magnetic detonated but AZ (impact) they do. You can also spend your reputation to research tech and upgrade the boat if you have a spare officer in port. The last one has a 20mm Flak 38 which is the quad barrel AA!

Please more of this, this is peak content

16:01 that’s either the hms Rodney or hms Nelson btw, I don’t know why the game called it the royal oak other than for historical sake

When it comes to aircraft its usually best to just crash dive as soon as you spot it, rather than risk damage or death from the depth charges. At least that worked in pre-release.

Great memories, sharing a bed with a guy that hadn’t washed for 3 months, constantly having a headache from bad air. Grandad had some great stories

This was a lot of fun, hope to see another video on this game

Ryan Gosling has almost my last name. When you said, 'I am playing as myself,' I was like, wait? this dude is my family?!

College couldn't micro the side of a ocean.

damn man is making me want to play UBOAT, keep it up micro-er of barns

0:29 they just wanted their borders to look good

How it feels to fight for Your Nation in the Skibidi Toilet XVII Class KMS Poopenfarten. Truly Horrifying

A good tip for deck gun usage against freighters: When you shoot a ships hull shoot at one point for a bit to make a hole and fire like 1 or 2 shots in that hole and repeat until its health is gone then you wait for it to flood

Reminds me of ol' Silent Hunter 3 and 4. Late war in 3 was hell on Earth. 4 meanwhile had the problem of the campaign getting *easier* the longer it went on because you played US submariners in the Pacific. Props to 4 for the authentic Mark 14 torpedo experience. You don't know what true rage is if you haven't spent over 2 hours sneaking up and setting up a perfect shot on a japanese carrier, firing your forward tubes, watching them run straight and true right into that flattops' side... and then hearing four *CLUNK!* sounds in rapid succession.

I like how royal oak sinking in a spa flow is based on historical accuracy, but they just used a model of a completely different battleship class (HMS Nelson or HMS Rodney)

my favorite start is december 1944 in the arctic, its dark and scary.. almost horror gameish

Glad to see the channel popping off College bros keep up the good work!

Attacking corvettes with 3m depth torpedoes. Rip.

The little resistance after sinking the royal oak is accurate. The British navy had thought the ship suffered from several internal explosions and didn’t start looking for an attacking uboat until it had already escaped scapa flow

"Hold on babe, I'll call you back, college dropped a video"

11:30 wait, Swiss ship? Switzerland can into sea

My GOD I love this game soo much. You really do get sucked into it and it is soo well made. And super easy to learn! I REALLY do recommend this y'all

It’s out of early axis?

That opening reminded me of the loading screens from Call of Duty World at War

16:16 I always find the Royal Oak Sinking quite Sad due to how many children were on board

Such a good run that embodies the challenges of this game and the feeling of success after a successful run.

Herr Kaleun Gosling BTW the AA gun especially the later quad model works really well sinking merchants. AP for damaging the hull at the waterline and HE for starting fires. The Alexandria mission is crazy because you can drop a few magnetic torpedos to break the back of the docked warships, then surface and use the deck gun to hit the little shore guns, and then sail right up to the ships sinking them with impunity. Also you need to set course to zig zag when a bomber is going after you

Well, if you hit a boat with a torpedo at a very pointy angle, chances are that an impact detonator will not recognize an impact and the torpedo will just bounce off (that's why you had so many duds). Try aiming for a 90° angle if possible, or use magnetic detonators! And yeah, hitting tiny ships like corvettes is hard lol! And I can't believe you had such an easy time in Scapa Flow, I showed up at night, and there were so many destroyers and corvettes, and I hit a mine at some point. I barely got out lol!

That percentage is not a chance to hit. It’s your solution to target (basically all gathered info like speed, distance, angle and its accuracy). The fact you missed was due to large range. For corvettes it’s hard to hit shots >1km. Generally it’s best to fire early game torpedoes from about 1,5km.

7:40 'Yes Karl dont mind the hell storm of bullets that are millimeters away from taking your head off'

I bought it in early access but never really started a campaign. I was waiting for the 1.0 release. So, I started a campaign. Did all the tutorials. Accepted my first patrol. All my crew went nuts, died and I got lost before I even encountered a ship. I think I'll start again amd pay more attention to my crew 😂

I love how we get an honest-to-God, genuine Dankus-moment with the ice cold torps😂

I just want to say that the shots at the corvettes were spot on, it was just that you set the dispersion so high that while the center of the spread was right on target, the torpedoes were spread out so much they went on either side of the target.

ive been a huge fan of this game since early access, the new subs are so damn cool!

7:34 just imagine being that sailor... Poor lad.

Next time try to reduce the torpedo depth when attacking small units to around 2m deep. For big transport ships around 5-7,5m under water. For destroyer ~3,5m and those small canoniers 1,5m. But in the later years of the war do not attack destroyers. This will result with almost every torpedo spotted when you will miss

There is a point on the north side of the net that can pass under by scraping the bottom and low speed

ryan gosling as an officer is legendary

God tier thumbnail, props!

Try to hit ships directly from the side, you want the lowest degree hit possible. It's actually fairly rare to have a dud on the settings you were on as long as you hit the ship from the side.

Please make this into a series

Dude, you are suposed to preheat the torpedoes before shooting, if you don't, they will very likely fail to explode even if the hit the target; if you haven't preheated them and are close to the convoy and haven't been discovered, stalk them some docen miles, it'll do the trick

I really like the narration you did at the beginning, you should look into covering some important historical events in that manner.

This video actually made me get this game and 20 hours in im loving it

The battleship you sunk at Scarpa flow looks more like a Nelson class. With all its main armament forward. Given how important the sinking of royal oak was to the U-boat campaign I'm surprised the game developers made that mistake. That's my pedantic rant over looks a decent game , thanks

A "Community" reference in a video about UBOAT? I can die happy

This is actually a really cool video idea 👍

I think the three planes are World of Warship planes which return to home after firing some bombs to you.

Ah yes Ryan gosling, my favorite RU-vidr.

The 'Royal Oak' looks like a Nelson Class, which had only two ships, HMS Nelson and HMS Rodney.

I thought this game was cancelled or incomplete. It's been years since I've last seen footage of this game and I really enjoyed the gameplay

More blub blub boat videos please

Your gameplay is awesome keep it up with this game I like to see more videos like this to see what will happen next in the campaign

2:25 How tf does a 2024 game about naval warfare have N64 level water physics...

brainrot captain commanded uboat till one of them starts speaking facts about it and eventually one sailor escaped his lobotomized boss in one trip to spain, i definitly watch it on netflix any day of the week

This rules. I can’t wait to see this crew take on convoys

lets goo, i love this game and i was happy enough getting a 1.0 but a vid from you with is amazing

Holy shit he’s literally Ryan gosling

This reminds me a little of the Silent hunter, for me the best submarine simulator.

You convinced me, I just bought it. I used to play Silent Hunter, but since Ubi went to shit I haven't. I saw this on my Steam page occasionally, but am very wary of early access games and didn't buy it. Now I have and that's just because you happened in a suggested video.

Literally had such a similar experience, just got into the game, i think you can turn on the geocompass while under water plus the map withs salors to get unloss 😂

RYAN GOSLING IS THAT YOU???

I'd definitely love to see more Uboat vids! This game reminds me of watching OneFJef's Silent Hunter videos and I'm glad to see the genre's still getting games.

i wish battlefield had something like this, where theres naval battle, with subs, air battles, tank battles, and ground warfare

This game is on my wishlist now, thank you so much. Would love more content

2:40 opportunity of Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare montage

Weird thing is that HMS Pegasus, the aircraft carrier he shot at the end was sold for scrap in 1931. So, how could it still exist in 1939?

Wait this isn’t hoi4 I’ve been tricked

i swear i have never seen this video but i felt heavy deja vu at 11:30 and i knew exactly what was gonna happen after

Something I really want is an U-boat like game, but for a battleship.

When I started playing Uboat a few years ago I hated on it, so I refunded. A few days ago after full release i repurchased and made an effort to actually understand the mechs and now I’m having so much fun. The game can create moments of extreme tension. At one point I had an entire battlegroup of ships searching for me after they heavily damaged my sub with depth charges. Apparently if you sit on the sea bed it disguises your sonar signature lol. So I got to work fixing all damage, before resurfacing once they all given up. Just doing that was super intense. My chief engineer was like the German version of Scotty from Star Trek haha.
