Hello, Onkel Neal!

I haven't been around for quite some time, but I've been playing SHIII, until I managed to get through the entire war ... alive ... one time. I made it!

I downloaded UBOAT when it first came out, but it was in such a primitive state that I haven't actually played it, yet. I've got the B127 update, and decided to give it a try. It's beautiful ... actually ... but I have yet to get the boat out of St. Nazaire.

Has anyone came up with a step-by-step guide that goes from picking your boat to putting out to sea? This would be extremely valuable, in my estimation.

Yes sir! Start with this guys series, it’s basically a manual in video format.

Got to the point that I could take apart entire convoys by doing the following:

1. Sink the destroyers using torpedoes from distance and repeated attack runs. Also sink any transports with deck guns using torpedoes.

2. Sink the corvettes by approaching underwater from behind. Once within ~ 1 km surface and open fire with the deck gun. You will be able to sink it before it can turn enough to return fire. You may take a hit or two but you can make multiple attack runs and repair in between.

3. Finish the rest of the convoy using deck guns and/or AA gun at your convenience.

This strategy was done early war, 1939/40 and I've not played in ~ a year. I'm curious if improvements have been made to the sim/AI since then.

A good deal of the how to videos I watch are someone flying back and forth in the cutaway view of the sub. Quite often I don't know what they're doing. This video I made is just the opposite. Slow and tedious. Its slow but I try to make it clear the things you can do to escape depth charges while in first person perspective. Enjoy.
