In this UBOAT tutorial I walk you through how to operate your UBOAT. I will show you how to properly get started as a newcomer to this game and provide you with all the necessary information that will have you out in the open sea and sinking ships in no time.
In this tutorial we will go over how to operate your UBOAT, how to accept missions, crew management, supplies and finally how to attack a convoy and ensure that your torpedo strikes the target on the first try.
UBOAT is a WW2 submarine simulator game where you are a captain of a UBOAT. As the captain it will be up to you to ensure that you have all the necessary supplies for your UBOAT and be able to manage your crew. You will be faced with very tough challenges and even tougher decisions that you will have to make on the fly.
The UBOAT campaign takes place between 1939 - 1945 and will see you patrolling all over the Atlantic in hunt for lone ships and large convoys. After spotting your target you will have the challenge on manually imputing all the proper information before finally firing your torpedo and watching as you send thousands of tons worth of shipping to the bottom of the ocean. Did I mention that should you not want to use a torpedo to sink a ship, you have the mighty 88 mm deck gun!
Accept mission and be rewarded through a leveling system in game that allows you to upgrade your officers and give them special abilities that will help you in your future campaigns. Completing missions will also reward you with currency that you can use to upgrade your UBOAT and make it even more difficult for the enemy to discover you and better yet...sink you.
Buy equipment for you crew, gather information to acquire new specialized torpedo's, and send your officers on missions to discover new and special tasks through the world map.
This is your boat and you get to command it however you like. Happy hunting!

On the crews , I found reading the text informs you of weather they are good or bad for sub service, i picked one that was angry and short tempered , he cracked first miss under pressure , Had to punch him out and put him in bed ,Kicked him soon as we made port.

@AdamsOlympia Месяц назад

I've read that there's no option to order your entire crew to run to the front (Bow) of the submarine to speed up the dive, which is unfortunate. Can you select the crew members individually and have them all gather in the same room though? Curious if it would make a difference.

@crazedjester Месяц назад

@@AdamsOlympia Would be a great feature, but that just isn't an option as of yet =(. Having your crew go there individually would not do anything either.

@findstr.s-hi-c._w 10 месяцев назад

go from a 3 schedule sailor crew, to a 2 schedule, note you only have 18 sailors ,the game allows you to assign more. i use 6-6-1-1-1-1-2 so 2 sailor crews of 6,1 sailor for every officer, and 2 sailors for the captain. the 6 sailor crews ,rotate every six hours, as do the 2 engineers 1 for every sailor crew ,this also applies to the captain ,and first officer. the radio officer has a custom setup. (there are always 6 sailors on shift,1engineer,and 1 watch officer for navigation, +there 2 sailors) also i like to give all my sailors the same outfit, and my officers a custom outfit. give bulkheads the highest priority for sailors, and close them when at sea. ( you need advanced crew management enabled) always check depth before diving,(you can do this in the main room).

I give you another 2-3mths and you'll ditch it I know I did, it's too complicated they want you to chart out the ship you're targeting it's path, speed, angles of the bow, stern/aft no joke unless you served in the Navy irl there's no way to get the hang of it. Plus they ruined crew management it used to be far easier less clicking. Take a peek at the mods workshop via Steam there are a whole lot of cool ones esp ones that give that "Das Boot" feel. Maybe you'll like it more than I did best of luck to you!! 🤞🙏

@maxschulz6185 Год назад

@@crazedjester Great guide and had good success with it, but one question: I have trouble after locating ships and trying to get a good angle on them. Usually after locating them with the hydro I need to go up thus losing the signal. Then I can only roughly estimate where they gonna end up with the old intersection course and the ruler on the map. But that is quite tedious and sometimes frustrating if the ships are having a course going sideways or away from me. Do you have advice for getting in a good range and angle for especially warships?

@crazedjester Год назад

@@maxschulz6185 Honestly, I have always used the ruler to map out a rough line as to where they are heading. Whether they are heading North to south or east to west or vice versa, I always use the ruler, but I will mark the point that I locate then and then time compress a little to get another mark down and then intersect the line. Once I have that and surface to get ahead, I will make sure that I move well ahead of the convoy which will allow me to submerge and then once I locate them again with the hrydo, I will have plenty of distance to get in a great position. Now if they in that time change course completely and instead of heading east they change to north then I have to spend more time getting into another position. It can certainly be tedious, but for me this is has been what really works for me.

@maxschulz6185 Год назад

@@crazedjester thanks for the answer, then Im doing it not entirely wrong as I try ploting the course with a ruler too. I guess I need to get a feel for how fast under time compression the fleet is actually moving and trying to predict the less time consuming ambush point. Cause sometimes I get the feeling that I wait for days xD

@rangehottv7254 5 месяцев назад

You generally don't want to attack destroyers. They have little tonnage, and sinking war ships doesn't grant you any bonuses. Attack freighters and tankers, avoid warships and planes. The method the video describes is a bit cheesy, as the tactical map gives you perfect information currently. How you actually use the "angle thing" is you adjust the arrow to how you see the ship. In the older version (which you get into using the slider) you had to set it to the relative bow angle

@3mate1 8 месяцев назад

That course is actually the angel on Bow. Since your "tactical map" is oriented north up, if it was heading 080 or 067 it would be heading East... but if that were the course of the ship it would be closer to like 220* true. The protractor is measuring the angle the vessel is crossing your bow and it's measured from the target vessel which has a port aspect in this case. It's not a big deal with the game's arcade style Target solution, but will be much more important once the TDC update is released next month. Love the video, I have so much fun with this game. The gripe I have with this game is the ship AI, they don't behave much like you would expect in a war.

@hunter9431 Год назад

Still had problems but just realized something I missed while watching the first few times. I did not understand that the degrees and distance you plugged in lined up with the ship when you fired. You did the degrees ahead of the ship because you were explaining and then measured distance to the target one it intersected with the angle. Long version short I was aiming in front of the ship and firing too early. I think I will try again in a few days and wait for the bloody ship to actually be at the points I do the math on. I am hoping this has finally clicked in my brain.

Picked this game up when it first launched, put 50 hours into it for the first few weeks but haven't touched it after that. That was over 2 years ago. Now I'm more than a little rusty. My main problem is finding ships and convoys. I submerge and find a lot of contacts however I always fail to find them when I wish to engage, it's almost like the disappear when I resurface. Anyway I'm saying all of this before I even start the video, I just figured I'd vent my frustration.

@crazedjester Год назад

I had the same problem when I was first starting out. Best advice I can give you is once you locate them with hydrophone, get the ruler out and draw a line on their relative course. That way when you surface and lose your hydrophone abilities since you're not under water you'll at least have an idea of the direction you should go. Do not stay surface for too terribly long though. You'll want to travel about ~10km and then go back under and use your hydrophone again. It is not uncommon that ships will change their course, but this should help you finally get those awesome engagement going! Hope this and the video really help

@JTelli786 Год назад

@@crazedjester I always use the ruler method however the fact that they may change course never occurred to me. I’d plot their course, lay in wait for 1-2 ingame days for them to cross my path yet they would never appear, then I’d resubmerge only to see they’re miles away from where I predicted them to be with the ruler method. Thanks for the advice!

@ViewerAbuser Год назад

Being off by a few degrees in target course is not going to cause you to miss, assuming a 90 degree attack. Also, it should be pointed out that the target was a War class tanker, not an Empire Bell freighter. It saying "Tanker" next to the identification book icon is a clue. This would have caused a miss if you had attacked at 3km due to the incorrect speed estimation. Happy hunting!

Turn on the alarm, assign all of your sailors to officers, and sit at max depth until you run low on air. Bonus points if you're crash diving from a real spotting of a destroyer.

I´d like to ask if there is any hot key to get the SUB to periscope depth at once, rather than clicking on the respective icon or over the depth gauge. Like for instance: in SH3 or SH4 you can use "P" for Periscope depth , "C" for crash dive, "S" to surface. I noticed sometimes "H" works in UBOAT but not always. Thanks for any advice.

@crazedjester 8 месяцев назад

Thanks so much Juan! I don't believe there is a specific hot key for periscope depth unfortunately =( I know F5 is depth control, but that is it. Maybe when they add the full release they will add hot keys such as this.

@RamblinRick_ Год назад

I've not played this game. My favorite sub game is Silent Hunter 4 (I never bought SH 5; too many bad reviews). I'm looking at this game during 2023 Summer Steam Sale. Couple questions: 1) Can you use the Dick O'Kane targeting method.? I assume so. 2) How do you compute target speed if target is not 90 degrees to you? In SH4, we use the Navigation/Targeting map. Take a couple distance readings. Plot target course. Calculate speed based upon distance the target travelled during that amount of time. But this assumes target is 90 degrees to you and not travelling at an angle towards you. As I watched the video, I see that the speed is calculated almost immediately before launching. Watched another video (I guess it was Expert) where target speed was computed: (Ship_Length*2)/time (in secs), from bow to stern For any SH4 players, how do you like Uboat compared to SH4? I see there's much more crew management for Uboat. Anything else stand out? sidebar: I've been playing sub games since Gato on MSDOS. I'm a developer. A couple of my first games I wrote were sub games.

@crazedjester Год назад

1) I personally don't know this method, but I am sure you can. 2) Be at a 90 degree angle or close to it and go into attack periscope. As soon as the front of the ships touches your cross hairs you start the stop watch. When the end of the ship touches your crosshairs you stop the stopwatch. The computer then calculates the speed. I will say that you know far more about sub games than I do, but what I can say is that I feel as though SH was made for the hard core simulator gamer that wants that full immersion. UBOAT was made with the intention of allowing the average gamer to come in and get the hang of a sub sim pretty quickly. You don't have to do as much calculations on hardcore mode in UBOAT as you have to with SH. Still a fun game which will present you with a lot of challenges.

@RamblinRick_ Год назад

@@crazedjester thank you for your response. I just now bought the game and have been watching several videos to get the hang of the game. Here's a great video on the O'Kane method. I'll apply it to Uboat. I believe the results should be the same. Before using O'Kane in SH4, targeting was difficult. First time I used the method, I put four torpedoes into a ship exactly where I aimed. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2k5yJI6Z5AU.html Great thing about O'Kane is that distance to target is irrelevant.

Nice video! very helpful But one question, how do you approach the convoy without being spotted, do you have any advice for that?

@crazedjester Месяц назад

usually I zoom ahead of the convoy and then slowly approach at periscope depth and forward 1. If destroyers are in the convoy then I turn off any loud equipment and use electric engines

Thank you for answering! Ill try it for next time, im new in uboat but its so cool and amazing, thanks

I really like the look of this...I've played Silent Hunter III and IV a lot and this seems very similar but with a few extra nice bits added on. I think I may well purchase this game. Just one thing though...I know it was a tutorial video but am wondering if their is a penalty for attacking neutral ( in this case Porugese) shipping?

@crazedjester Год назад

Really hope you get it Keith! So there is an option to board neutral ships in this game. As you board you will see if they are truly neutral or if they are in fact and enemy ship flying a false flag.

@kevinchristie4446 Год назад

I saw this game is still an early access game, is it worth purchasing now, is there enough content to give many hours of fun. Thanks for the tutorial.

@crazedjester Год назад

They came out with a massive update that released a good amount of content. I feel it is worth the buy honestly. You could wait until the next big steam sale and then it will drop a lot for price

Question about getting a course of the ship. How do you get accurate course of the ship when you can't see them in map? I've been playing on max realism and its always issue to find actually accurate courses when i can't see them map at all.

@crazedjester 18 дней назад

This is a great question and one that I hope someone who has experience with 100% realism and or life experience on a submarine could help both you and I with. I would not be able to answer this question for you. Can someone please help =)

@Benjamincarmine94 17 дней назад

Well... You can still do it with the same way as using map but you need to get ship range through periscope and then use bearing tool to mark it on the x bearing and range you got.. Then wait a bit do same thing again check the bearing and range and mark on the map now you can just draw a line between first and second mark and then use protractor to get a course. Ofc its not 100% accurate and there is probably better ways to do it but it has been working for me. Also it can be extremely messy when trying to mark multiple ships.

@cheeesy1233 2 дня назад

my clear range sight doesnt change and i cant see boats when im near them on the map why is that?

@fulltilt151 8 месяцев назад

Just picked this up and trying to sort it out. When setting up an attack, how do you get your boat in a 90 degree parallel to the target? Do you get their course first then just drive around to 90?

@crazedjester 8 месяцев назад

You're going to love it. Yeah usually when you are using the hydrophone you'll be able to see the relative direction that the enemy ship is traveling. Then you can just set up your ambush and a rough 90 until it come into sight. Once in sight you can plot its true course and that just adjust your boat as needed to achieve that 90

@DjengoPengo Год назад

Thank you lots for this video, i have just one question after watching, how do you time your shots? Because it seemed like you did not time it at all, like all that mattered was the angle. I remember from silent hunter (5) it had 3 numbers on the map which you could line up to time your shot (easy mode i guess) but here i am at a loss in how to time my shots.

@crazedjester Год назад

yeah I think the angle is what matters most in UBOAT

I believe you use your radio man to radio in a supply uboat. When it arrives then it will have what you need. I have personally never had to use it, but I know there are uboats that travel around with supplies

In general milk cows have to be earned. If you call for Re supply it will say no milk cow in your area.

@crazedjester 3 месяца назад

gain distance from the enemy by following their line. Then be set up and ready to go so they sail right in front of you. I usually gain a lead of about 3km and then I will just sit there and wait for them.

How do you launch sonar decoys I only see old tutorials on how to do this. Do you know how to?

@crazedjester 11 месяцев назад

I do it manually. Get a crew member and go into first person. Go to where they are stored which is in the store room by the kitchen. Once you have them in your officers inventory then walk to the rear of the boat and you will see a pipe next to the rear torpedo where you can launch it

Im gonna be new to not only the uboat world, but pc world as a whole. Does boat choice effect the story aside from difficult? Also should i choose the earliest boat possible, is there a possibility where my side wins? Not saying i wanted germany to win back then obviously, but if im going to fight a virtual war i dont want to fight a war i will automatically lose anyway

@crazedjester 3 месяца назад

The earlier boats start near the start of the war so you will get some missions that you wouldn't get if you picked a later model. Victory conditions....I have never actually beaten the game and not sure if there are victory conditions to be honest. Might be something they add in the full release

Check your angle on the bow and just make sure that is set up in the same direction that the boat is traveling. I am thinking that might be the possible problem

@EnjoyTheRoad1 Год назад

Is the mechanics in uboat game similar to silent hunter? I remember that in Silent Hunt it was best to use magnetic fuses and set the torpedoes so that they were gently UNDER the ship. This always guaranteed a hit, and in addition, sometimes 1 torpedo was enough to sink the entire ship. In addition, it was possible to set the torpedo to hit a specific part of the ship. Is it like that in uboat too?

@crazedjester Год назад

I think silent hunter is just a bit more in depth compared to this game in my opinion. This game seems to be a bit more user friendly allowing new comers to the sub games to hit the ground running with little training.

@VGT856 Год назад

Exactly Jester, SH is dumb compared to the old school arcade naval games. Maybe more people would play SH if it wasn't so claustrophobic and restricted, I will say that Uboat offers more freedom in game vs SH where you never see the exterior of the vessel. SH should be text based lmao
