onelifecrisis - you're like 1km from your target and don't seem to be spotted!!! WTF!? I can never get that close - they always freak out at about 3km or so. I've _always_ wanted to perpetrate a perfect night attack a la Das Boot, but didn't think it was possible. Any hints? How did you pull it off??

There's a video on my FF page. It's quite big. It's called Ubermod Surface Attack. Check it out.

Basically, the key is to keep a low profile (that means face the enemy, you don't necessarily have to go decks awash) and go very slow.

In that video the eels all missed because the UZO marking lines were incorrect (the numbers needed to be doubled) but I fixed that problem in v1.3 of the Ubermod (just in case you decide to check that out too

)

The crashed plane didn't do much damage. If you look carefully, though, you will see a bomb (I don't remember if the crashing plane was the one to release it). It landed in the flakship's aft magazine and blew her up.

I watched the video - hype! I love your periscope/uzo mods, and wonder what the heck you were up to with that cool dial around the periscope window. Your approach is very different to mine - not just that you do it surfaced, but that you take a variable course - i almost always come screaming in at 90 AoB and dive, and creep in along this course as best i can, figuring that it's the easiest way to close the distance. Also, I notice you have a different stadimeter - wonder how that works.... I spend all my time trying to guesstimate the convoy's speed, then i just get quick range estimates and fire off all the torps based on a 90 AoB preset. It works decent, excepting extreme ranges and/or target eccentricities.

I think there might be something to what you say about night detection in Ubermod. I've never got that close to an escort without my boys ducking, and the message 'we're under attack' popping up. But I like it - I think the detection at night _should_ be that bad, at least pre-radar. However, I watched your second vid and noticed that during the day you can come in at periscope depth with the periscope up. I GWX 2.0 you get detected doing this. Especially inside the convoy. For the time you had your peri up, I would have been detected for sure. They start shooting at the scope... Anyway, cool vids. I wonder if that cruiser you hit sunk.... makes me want to try putting event camera on again - it's a good way to cut to the chase rather than hitting F12 getting near your target, then diving the camera and listening for the torpedo whine.
