UBOAT Gameplay - Hunting Nelson. 

"we lost HMS Nelson" "oh no" "and they stole the potato" "DEAR GOD"

Sailor in the lifeboat: 'What do you think that was a mine?' Other sailor (pointing to the U-boat casually sailing behind him): 'Er...mate.' Sailor: 'Oh bugger. Oi they're stealing our potato!'

This calls for some merch "I sunk the Nelson but all I got was this shirt", shirt in potato brown color

>"Sink 7k tons" >A Wild Nelson Appears Wolfpack: Hold my schnitzel

Epic Royal Navy tactics here. Create a destroyer screen only around the rear of the most advanced battleship in their arsenal, fan out and search the opposite side of the Nelson than the side that just took 4 torpedoes for the enemy submarine, then sail the ship north away from friendly ports and break off the entire escort to leave the ship all by itself. Was the admiral in the engine room getting high on diesel fumes the entire time?

Haha boat is in total silence for a stealth attack... Random sailor 2 cm from your ears shouts at the top of their lungs AAAAAAAALLLLLLAAAAAAAARRRRRRMMMM

"We're in position for a good attack sir! The enemy is approaching slowly and will be in range soon." Captain: BLOW THE TANKS! Crewmate: Uhh sir, they will see us... Captain: Did I fucking stutter?

The other ships turning on their search lights after the Nelson got hit was so epic and realistic.

"Beotifull ship, I love this ship, yep.....well we are going to sink her" Loved it

Nelson: *gets hit four times* 'Tis but a scratch. Also Nelson: *gets hit again and slips beneath the waves within seconds* lol

Waltzing into a convoy, sinking eight torpedoes into a crown jewel of the Royal Navy, then slipping away without a scratch is the sort of thing that makes u-boat skippers into legends.

I thought the Bermuda Triangle was at Bermuda, but I guess there is a Bergan Triangle where planes go in but they never come out.

Why was Nelson sailing North with four torpedoes in her side? She would've been heading back to port after barely surviving that.

Wolfpack I have a bone to pick with you. I decided to watch "just a little" of your older submarine series. Just a little my ass. Think I'm 30 hours in at this point. Keep it up !

HMS Nelson sunk. Found only a few survivors and a potato upon inspection of the wrecksite. Somberness replaces our cheerie mood.

Lots of compartmentalization in a battleship, plus decent damage control, so not too surprising that a Nelson class can soak up four torps and not go down.

"noooo you can't just sneak up on a battleship it's too hard" "Hahaha torpedo go woooooooooosh *BOOM*"

Now, you make the potato into the ship's pet. When your u-boat eventually sinks, it will be picked up by British sailors and they will proclaim it as a potato that brings good luck since it survived two sinkings.

To their own shore Came the world war Gleams and ingham leading the bury west In their own track Came the wolfpack Gleams lead the convoy Into the hornets nest

Reminds me of that quote that may or may not have been said about the first jet. “First time I saw a jet, I shot it down.”

Preheating the G7a steam torpedo to remove the chance of a dud is kinda gamey in my opinion. Historically, only the electric G7e torpedoes were pre heated, and only to improve range (a warm battery performs better than a cold one)

That potato is gonna have some interesting stories to tell later on. Also survivors guilt for being the only potato to survive.

"commander, they sunk the nelson!" sleep "and they took the potato." A W A K E

My Uncle was on an LST in the Pacific. A Japanese sub tried to torpedo his ship as it came out of a U shaped landing area. The sub set their torpedo run depth when they went into drop off all their cargo. Since they were empty the 2 torpedos went under the ship.

despite having no music the atmosphere is genuinely palpable, the ticking of the pocket watch as you find the ships speed and the sound of the dials turning. It gives Dunkirk vibes, like the guys on the ship don't know what's going on while just under the water, the whispers of the Uboat crew describe in gritty detail how the British crew is going to die.

This man makes sinking a battleship seem so real. He’s like doing a crap ton of calculations

I have little to no understanding of the complexities of Naval Battles or the ships involved, but I truly appreciated the depth this game has, and the realism, as well as how much narration you gave. You made something that would otherwise have been unintelligible to me completely enjoyable! Thanks for the video!

i hope 2021 brings either milch cows or a type IX so we can sink tommies right out of New York!

*Nelson gets hit with 4 torpedoes* oh no *keeps going* anyway

That was a bit too easy tbh. Half the homefleet would be hunting that Uboat. Very cinematic though. Gute Jagd, Herr Kapitän!

I don't think I've ever seen a ship sink horizontally in Uboat before. I guess 8 torpedoes amidships will do that xD

Watching the Nelson sink beneath the waves, I was very disappointed with the fx. There should have been huge gouts of air, steam, and vapour rushing out of the ship as water displaced the the air in the internal compartments. RU-vid is full of videos of sinking ships showing this, so there's a definite lack of imagination on the developer's side.

HMS Nelson and Rodney was one of those elusive targets that I could never seem to get in SH3 (and I played it pretty arcade), cool to see you bag it. But the realism in terms of escort behavior is not the best, I have a hard time imagining the RN being this incompetent.

We're going after the HMS Nelson battleship? Surface action guns!

Nice attack! I can't wait until this game is at a point where you can do a proper full campaign!

YESS MORE WOLFPACK

All they had left was a mostly empty bag of potatoes and you surface the boat right next to the survivors, with the entire escort probably charging your way at top speed, to take even that.

It’d be cool is the turrets on Nelson started to turn with the list of the ship.

My grandfather was on the Arctic convoys in WW2, and I remember him telling me how cold it used to be around Northern Norway and Murmansk, one freezing night he told me the temperature got so low that the flame on his zippo-lighter froze... I said really Grandad Albert it must have been awful.:)

Why do the warships in this game look so dead even when they aren't skinking? I mean no flags, no people outside.

Well... That was underwhelming. I hope they’ll prioritize good sinking animations next.

"One potato?!" had me dead hahaha

That better be the best potato your seamen have ever

Wolfpack: “Oh look at that ship it looks so cool!” Also Wolfpack: “HOW ABOUT WE SINK IT!”

"wow, she went down extremely quickly" 38:24

Am I the only one who’s mind is blasting Wolfpack whilst watching this

As a marine engineer i,m crying everytime i see these engines. especialy when everything else is so nice and detailed.

Wolfpack: I just love the way the HMS Nelson looks, very cool, very impressive. Also Wolfpack: Well..... let's sink her

It’s a little unrealistic seeing as Nelson and Rodney had the best treaty breaking Torpedo protection of any RN battleship in WW2. Over 20% of her total weight was her torpedo bulges. Preflooded to reduce any torpedo damage received.

Congratulations Kapitan Wolfpack, schnapps and medals when you return to Bergen I'm sure. Despite the game's 'little joke' that definitely was not small potatoes! Keep that Luger handy for the next dummkopf who blows the tanks at the wrong time. Pax dude

You can understand why at the end of the war the allies where so ruthless when it came to hunting and sicking these ships.

Britain after hearing news of the Nelson: “NO NOT MY POOR POTATO WHYYYYYYY 😭😭😭”

"So 7,000 tonnes you want me to sink?" "Yes" "While I think ill sink 5 times that" "YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS"

I started a new 1942 campaign game recently. I've done a bunch of patrols from Bergen and I haven't found a single enemy ship or convoy. It's really annoying.

During ww2 the German sub was very fast created til the USA join in and started building more merchandise ships faster than the subs and started having better radar

You have literally the best editing of any youtuber I've ever seen

Are the devs going to add different types of U-Boots to the game that you could research or something like that?

This build of the game is less fun due to the expense of everything even early in the war. There seems to be less shipping around too.

What is your thoughts on uboat so far? :) It seems like it has the base mechanics down

This takes me back to long nights playing Silent Hunter...

I would so like to give this game a whirl, but the fact that you got to control your crew like the Sim's keeps detouring me from purchasing it.

it's awesome man i keep searching for this fat girl never find it i start wonder if nelson is ever there i think i will keep searching again Good job bro keep awesome work

6:09 fish

I discovered this channel by complete accident, and I'm already pretty interested.

I don't always increase the brightness on my phone but when I do, I'm watching Wolfpack.

"I've always loved the way Rodney and Nelson looked" unfollowed, unsubcribed, disliked, reported, called 911, uncommented.

Just use the meters>knot conversion table map-tool, in just 1 minute you can figure out their speed just as accurate as 3.15 :)

Real life.. Nelson doing 15 knots.. 4 fleet destroyers minimum.... the moment he broke surface.. Nelson would turn away and 2 destroyers would have hunted him down...

How do you tell the admirality that they'v stolen the potato

Can anyone help me understand by what method a player determines target angle on bow? Is this simply from having eyeballed it and / or from having plotted the target's course heading?

Wolfpack, could you start an IL-2 series in an F4U Corsair

This Game: You sank Nelson, here's a potato.

well just rip nelson

Nice video I love this game, i can advise you a mod called "Historical Images for Ship Identification" which gives the historical images of the ships in the identification book, a nice extra touch

An expansion to become an American submarine in the Pacific would be interesting.

"It looks like we have a battleship" *sees the triple superfiring turrets shaped like a shoe* Then immediately goes "looks like we have HMS nelson" lol

Probably could have sank it first time around with deeper torpedo running

*Absolutely fascinating.* *And this in VR would be the Kaiser's crown!*

Hello Wolfpack. Long time subscriber, 1st time commenter. I really appreciate your vids and especially the education angle which, to me, adds to the immersion. The game mechanics seem iffy ... A) 18:45 Could a battleship absorb 4 eels and stay afloat IRL? I would imagine combat vessels are built different than merchant vessels, but.. B) The 2nd time you see her, she seems alone? If a ship survived a hit like that initially, wouldn't she radio for immediate ASW assistance and limp towards home? ###addendum. So I did a bit of research & yes, a BB ship could survive 4 torpedo hits. I can't paste URLs here, but in a Quora post: "It depended on a lot of factors. The size of the torpedoes, the hit location, torpedo depth setting, critical hits, damage control, etc. Superbattleships Yamato and Musashi took large amounts of aerial torpedoes, especially Musashi, because they had smaller warheads. Musashi took much more damage because she didn’t suffer any critical hits and damage control had time to work on things in between attacks. Yamato was overwhelmed by more planes in a shorter amount of time, and the torpedo bombers concentrated on one side to upset her stability. At the battle of Surigao Strait, battleship Fuso took two surface-launched Mk-15’s which apparently did a great deal of damage to the old battleship, splitting ancient welded seams and causing large amounts of flooding, as well as extensive fires, resulting in her shipping a large amount of water in a short time and destroying her stability to where she abruptly upended and sank, breaking apart as she went down and starting a huge fire on the surface as the unrefined fuel from her ruptured tanks ignited, giving the impression that she exploded and broke in two, a myth that has persisted until recently. Her sister Yamashiro took a total of four or five surface torpedoes and a great many shell hits, but only the last couple torps were what abruptly sunk her, no doubt in concert with her other damage. Also, hers was spread out over a long period, once again allowing damage control to work on things."

Remember playing Silent Service on the Amiga, sank the Yamato, with torpedoes' and the 5 " gun

Another Masterpiece Of Hunting Merchant Shipping From Wolfpack!!!

If there is something that the battleships (WWII) are resilient against, that would be torpedo. How much was Yamato struck with (aerial ells do not pack a punch as the naval launched, though)? 20 or so?

So what was the prize for sinking the HMS Nelson, one potato.

"I sank the HMS Nelson and all I got was this lousy potato"

Finally I've been waiting for this forever!!!!

It looked like it was turning because you were watching her from a 45 degree angle.

This is what Silent Hunter II back in the days (that's 2001 - good god :O ) looked like in my head. Nice to see such sims being still played.

If someone could take this engine and make it with 16-18th century sailing ship warfare it would be awesome

>Sinks iconic battle ship in a professional and efficient way. Taking 2 days to kill it and sending it to its watery grave as its crew helplessly burn and drown, making thousands of widows back in England. >gets one potato >profit????

Great episode, but it peeves me you had to 'preheat' wet heater engine torpedoes like the G7a's... only G7e's needed preheating. Is flooding for battleships modelled? You put three torpedoes into her port side aft of centre, and when you caught up again, she was down by the bow! Didn't make too much sense XD In any case, love the content man, keep up the good work!

I dont think england can recover after the lost of that onz potato

Got to sink Nelson to get revenge for the Bismarck 😁😁😁

5:35 missing men at the dive plains?! The dive plains should always be manned.

U-106 was Sunk, 2 August 1943, northwest of Spain, by British and Australian aircraft

2 questions from a noob: first, how did you manage to preheat torpedoes within torpedo range without being detected? warships seem to always hear me preheating. second, when you are launching your first salvo of torps around the 17:30 mark, I hear you mention you are aiming at certain spots in the ship; does manually moving the periscope to different sections of the enemy ship adjust where the torpedoes will (hopefully) land?

All of that for a single potato? Seems worth it.

Our enemy tasked the the HMS Nelson and all those support ships to transport this one potato. I think there may be more to this potato than is immediately apparent.

As a DCS World enthusiastic and fanatic, I can thoroughly appreciate this game. Never knew it even existed.

Scary how one uboat can sink such a monster just like that. Naval warfare must have been intense...
