ok sorry it can also be seen at 1:36 as well

maybe a milk cow?

perhaps with some sort of AA conning tower?

(Fritz von Titz approves this post):up:

Im clueless as well, At first i thought it was a custom type VII at 1:42 it looks like the type VII tower with a sheild welded on but after I noticed the sides of the boat Im at a loss. I thought it could be Italian but after further reveiw its definatly German in desighn

If memory serves me correctly it the boat at 1:42 was one of the foreign boats operated by the ubootwaffe, looks like the U-A originaly built for the Turks. The one at 1:36 most closely resembles the UIT-23 to my eyes.

a Type IXC\40 possibly U-875
deck chopped for fast diving.

Haven't got a clue:hmm:

The sub at 1.42 is the UA - Turkish Batiray

Not sure what the one just before that is though

Glad to see Von Titz approves :roll:

Answered this one a month back on another thread :smug:

You posted on it MM.....I'm suprised you didn't give the answer http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/181...kbigsw1yo4.gif

What hats are the crew wearing aboard the sub at 1:37? I see red bands going in the center, around the hat. Like a soviet hat, you know those dark blue officer caps with the red band going around. :doh:

Odd, I thought I had.:hmm:

No ya bugga.....I meant the Turkish Batiray :damn:

I'm no good at identifying ships, but I'd like to thank Gimpy117 for posting this. I've never seen all that color footage before. I love the torpedo loading scenes at the beginning. Some things I did notice:

00:45 The dive sequence. We see the diesels being shut down, then the e-machines being started, then the ballast vents being opened.

02:39 A quick shot of a crewman manually adjusting (apparently) the gyro angles on the tube.

03:30 'Onkel Karl' himself in a strategy session.

03:55 A good shot of the engine telegraph. What kind of boat is it from? It doesn't look like any of the in-game ones, yet I've seen photographs and the game ones are correct.

04:00 It's amazing what you can do with special effects, even in 1943!:rotfl:

04:11 An 'un-boxed' regular stopwatch.

04:27 Boat surfacing. The water coming from the vent-holes looks awfully fake. Is there a mod for this?

04:35 "Thomsen!"

05:41 Nice quick shot of the boat fading away as it dives.

05:45 Good shot of a real recognition manual. Not much like any game one, ever; but that one would take up the whole screen, so...but still, no angle-views, just pictures.

06:00 Damn periscope handle's stuck!:damn: Is there a mod for this?

06:08 Another excellent shot of the engine telegraph.

06:45 Good underwater shot as the boat is surfacing. You can't even see the conning tower from 10 feet away.

06:53 Nice shot of some heavy going.

07:45 Interesting model work, but I don't think the real thing would break in half that easily. And yes, I've seen the footage of the destroyer with it's keel broken by a homing torpedo; don't think that's what happened here.

Again, thanks Gimpy. Great find.

0503 (no sound here) but these boys are actually interacting with a Type 1939 Torpedoboot. cool
