One issue I have with the game is that the enemy escorts know that you are the only submarine out there. When attacking convoys, ALL the escorts se to gang up on your U-Boat, which would never happen in the real war because it would leave the convoy vulnerable to other potential U-Boats in the area.
There is a little cheat written into the code that accounts for this. When you score a hit or if your torpedo is spotted, the AI reverse engineers the torpedo course to account for your location. It is not completely flawless, but it is accurate enough. The player can take advantage of this by firing shots and evading immediately, knowing the AI will only backtrack the torpedo's course and bang away with active sonar. If you are close enough to the convoy target ships, you can do what Erich Topp did and wear one of the untargeted ships as a hat to protect yourself from the escorts. If you are close enough to a sinking ship, the noise of the collapsing bulkheads can mask you, too.
I remember the time I managed to sneak up on a British convoy off the coast of Scotland. I got into position and waited, remembering the tutorials and guides. I was in a Type 2 (can't remember which exact model) so I only had 3 fish ready to go. I fired the torpedoes, and watched as they missed, I went and checked my crew management, I forgot to assign any crew to the bow torpedoes. Immediately the convoy escorts zeroed in on my sub and began dropping depth charges, cue me choosing evasive maneuvers and silent running. After 2 hours, the corvettes decided they were done. I limped back to my home port of Kiel. God I love this game.
"Watch hours of 240p videos explaining how to do manual targeting in another language" - You're so real for this. I have spent a nearly equal amount of time watching tutorials with bad mic quality as what I have in game.
@@Anzei_Kazumi agreed good sir, I personally enjoy the narrow escapes from the depth charges by just yanking the rudder left or right. I love the cat and mouse aspect of the sh3. Its late here but I might just fire the game back up.
You sir have made my day brighter! Ah, yes I remember playing Silent Hunter III for the first time, many a depth charge struck my boat in the early patrols as I made the mistake of playing my first round in 1944 and was finally sunk by a British Sunderland flying boat when I foolishly thought it was a good idea to try a duel it with my flak guns....Ah, memories. Trying to find a way to get Silent Hunter 1 to see where this legendary game series started.
Man, God speed to ya, never played Silent Hunter 1 but I have been utterly obliterated by a Sunderland when I left port in 1944 for the first time. I'm happy that you enjoyed the video, hopefully I can get scrounge up some money to buy Uboat and review that next.
@@F.R.E.D.D2986 I've actually played U-Boat and it was pretty fun. Even installed a few mods to increase the learning curve lmao. Would have made a video on it but it runs like ass when I try to record it.
Great vid mate, Ive been playing this game for years now and I still remember the time I sunk HMS Nelson like if it was yesterday. Glad i came across your channel. Cheers
I fucking love this game and this video reminded me why. 3:39 Dat is true tho. They have enough depth charges to not just blow Japan up but enough depth charges to break the fockin' nation in half. It makes Nagisaki and Hiroshima look like Hello Kitty
Ngl, I’m a newcomer but I’m happy to see this games community is still alive Also, there’s a reason why the directors cut of Das boot is 12 hours long…or was it 8? Honestly, you need to put your heart and soul into the submarine games, as of late, I’ve been falling in love with that VR submarine game
I'm a big fan of Simulation games in general. There's something satisfying about learning how the game works and seeing all your practice pay off. A good game will always have a good community no matter the age. Just look at Morrowind! -Anzei
That game is the biggest tease and denial sm experience ive ever been through. And im quite the pervert. The CTDs are endless and constant. But only once you fufilled all the tutorials flawlessly and gone through those dead end pre war patrols for several hours.
Hmm I've rarely had CTDs, have ya gotten the Steam version? If so might I suggest not doing so and availing yourself of alternative means on getting the game? Steam version is fugged.
This has encouraged me to play the game again First time I tried I was 13 I didn't even know wtf was Manuel targeting all I know was I watched das boot
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich One more question I got the game again but all I'm doing is sailing around it's quite hard to find convoy can you specify how to find them please. One more question is silent hunter 5 good? It's newer so I thought of getting it too but I'm not so sure. Thank you.
"it got 130 views wow thats a lot" you say in your torpedo targeting video. and here we are 11k views later also funnily enough i got to this video from tonci87's gwx alice video, but i in turn got to that from searching SH3 magazine explosions because it happened in his type 9 series
Okay Like this 1 find enemi ships 2 shoot all of Ur torpedos 3 miss all 4 emrge from the sea and try to sink the ship with the Big canoune and the flak, 4sink 5 realises u dont have no monny for a nice sub with Big canounes and flak 6 cry
see ya in 3-5 years when this gets recommended to everyone
HONESTLY THO

The struggle is real.
Wolfpack345 type 9 play through was such a great series, I was so sad it ended.
Same buddy, but it's not the end that we should remember, it's the merchant ships we sink along the way.

@@Anzei_Kazumi if you are curious, U-boat is actually ok. Its fun, easy and has an ok learning curve. I would reccomend it.

Been playing silent hunter games since about 2006... this video is the best I've seen on the subject hands down
Amazing video. Thanks for making this!
Interaction and immersion from a man of culture.

@@ImperialThirdWorldReich yes. I did get the steam version. I could try getting it on tpbay or something, i dont have cd rom or whatever on my pc
The last time I saw a cd rom was in High School. lol
Boy really got away with this channel's name xD
Looks like a cool game
good video, I learned some stuff.
Real men use their submarine to ram the destroyers
I see such masterpiece video that has 800 viewers I say 9.
True gamers make the convoy collide above them
10:43 kill stealing back in '39
awesome video
Thanks man, glad you liked it!
This is hilarious 😂
Holy art school teacher this video is hilarious 😂

This has encouraged me to play the game again
First time I tried I was 13 I didn't even know wtf was Manuel targeting all I know was I watched das boot
Das Boot is an amazing movie. Glad this made ya want to play the game, it's amazing with the mods.
@@ImperialThirdWorldReich
One more question I got the game again but all I'm doing is sailing around it's quite hard to find convoy can you specify how to find them please.
One more question is silent hunter 5 good?
It's newer so I thought of getting it too but I'm not so sure.
Thank you.
@@potato23116 Don't bother with SH5
Das boot my favourite sound track
Bad guys won ww2.

Starting at this part 2:49, I started laughing my ass off 🤣
Happy that you liked it, I love the original video of that lol
7:08 suddenly Risu! 🐿️
(It's a weird weeb thing.)
As General McAuliffe in WW2 said: "NUTS!"
"it got 130 views wow thats a lot" you say in your torpedo targeting video. and here we are 11k views later

CZcams flag your video as 18+ :0
Thank you, we'll see if there's anything we can do about it
Hello, Admiral Anzei here. It was actually us that set it to 18+, probably by accident while uploading the video lmao.
It's fixed now.
