    Well, as a certified Silent Hunter andy I can certainly say, that I've been finally having decent fun with UBOAT after this update got released. Won't really be satisfied till we get proper Type IX sub lineup, but oh well. Hope that DLC devs were talking about eventually comes, because I will pay A LOT for the properly modelled Type IX.
    P.S. That voice log is there for a reason, since maximum realism setting doesn't have any markings on the map at all, including hydrophone and visual contacts. You only get voice reports from the crew and need to rely on them for information. Or man the stations yourself and get the information that way, works too.
    P.P.S. Yes, random events are there. I had a random fight happen between a bunch of guys in the torpedo room and one poor soul had broken ribs. Had to take a slight detour from my initial patrol route to drop him off. Had to deal with the instigator too.

      As another Silent Hunter veteran, I was a wee little bit dissatisfied by the fact the ship that received torpedo hit, sank a bit too fast to be realistic. Also, I think there should not be just a few "candlelights" on the deck but a raging inferno when they have been intensely attacked by either torpedo or deck gun fire from an uboat.

    • @kind_stone
      @kind_stone Před 27 dny +3

      @@Cybernaut76 Yeah, that's one of my few serious gripes. Things that are "dead"-dead sink like they had their entire bottom ripped off and things that are "not dead enough" get stuck in the most ridiculous positions without actually sinking. Like that time I did Scapa Flow and Royal Oak after being hit with 4 torpedoes got stuck turned over with just a tiny bit of hull sticking out of water... and it was still somehow sending emergency radio messages and didn't count as sunk. I mean, it is funny, but the immersion flies out like that last bubble of oxygen from a crushed uboat.

    1:40 hi there, when I tested the Beta the first time (in it's first iteration, since then at least two patches came out) I witnessed some of the new damage things. The Situation was as follows: I stumbled in a hunter killer group of about 5 oder 6 destroyers and Corvettes. I couldn't lose them before my O2 ran out, so I had the choice of surfacing in the middle of them or just suffocating. Surfacing sounded more fun, so I did.
    When the destroyers opened fire two things happened, they hit my stern and either took out my rudder or one of the props, but my Uboat was locked in a turn. The other thing was, that they hit the conning tower wich killed my skipper and yeeted him over board. (Bit sad, that the first person I see the new explosion physics on was the guy I was playing as, but well... that's war)

A sailor who is injured in combat or an event may have a more serious injury and require time in hospital or if someone is attacked due to low dicipline you may want to courtmartial them.

      @Dazza_Doo OneAlex is what I play. Took a bit to get used to, but I think that's because it's so immersive. Yeah, there are hiccups here and there, like the specific things you shouldn't do to prevent crashes and file corruption, but I have yet to run into much of those issues except a crash or maybe two in around 150hrs. Still don't know what I did to have that happen, which, in the end, is like any other game I've played and had a random crash.
      For the immersion, I play SH3 (OneAlex). To blast away a large amount of ships in a short time frame, I play Uboat. Until Uboat gets ahead in immersion, SH3 will still be my go-to. This is NOT a knock on Uboat. The game is still loads of fun, and I'll be starting a new campaign soon once a lot of the new betas bugs are straightened out.

    The type 2a honestly looks like they used the extra width from the saddle tanks to expand the room inside. The engine room should definitely be tighter in spacing and more akin to the type vii engine spacing. Now, I am not sure if they made this design decision because of fears that the control room would be harder for players to maneuver around npc's or they made a mistake when "measuring" the inside diameter. One clue is that the bulkheads look more oval than they should. One other "issue" that bothers me is the lack of bulkhead doors. Love the game, just hope/wish the interior was more cramped to reflect the rl design.

      @BigBossXCV Před měsícem +25

      Modded SH3, modded not vanilla. Of course if you heavily mod SH3 it becomes a decent subsim but remember that unlike U-boat you can't micro manage damage control (just add sailors to the damage squad and that's it), you can't manage your food, your sailors work schedule, you can't even manually fire your deck gun. Missions are always patrol you can't, like U-boat, carry a spy or a war reporter, you can't lay down mine, etc. SH3 has only fixed camera positions instead in U-boat you can see all the compartment, explore the sub and look at all the little details. Please, the final release is not out yet, this is just a beta and they added a LOT of stuff, new submarines, new equipments, etc. Wait until they push the 1.0 and then you can complain, maybe, because for now it's just an unstable branch beta so you can't expect too much.

      I don’t know. I honestly think Uboat is pretty immersive. None of the Silent Hunter games that I know don’t allow you to fully explore your ship. Silent Hunter 5 yes, though I was disappointed when I figured out none of your crew will go to compartment to compartment. They just sort of stay there and repeat animations. Rooms also don’t get flooded, and if they do it’s only floor levels of water.
      When I got the game I was really expecting, “wow my crew are able to walk! They’ll eat food and have conversations!” Nope. That back then was my biggest, biggest wish to see for a submarine game. A crew where they can walk, get injured, panic, get in your way while you’re going through the bulk heads. But hey, I was excited when I saw the trailer of Uboat.
      Back to the flooding, sure silent hunter has their games show you in a menu that a compartment is flooding. But in Uboat, oh boy. I can see it’s flooded, and if I open it. That’s a lotta water coming in. I guess that’s pretty immersive and wow I actually have to walk to the deck gun instead of pressing a button to teleport to the deck gun.
      I missed the TDC so I kept playing SH4. But hey, no need. Beta gave us a TDC and a way to manually flood, open and launch torpedos. In general, Uboat is immersive for me and without mods either.

      UBOAT is too easy for you? Maybe try mods like the realistic chart mod for a little less handholding. As other commenters said, this game has way more going on than any SH game, classic as they are. A little bit of workshop and you should be able to tinker the difficulty exactly how you want. And personally, I never found the realism of UBOAT tedious. Perhaps hardcore sims just aren't for you, and you should play something a bit more casual. I've heard Barotrauma is pretty fun ;)
