Top 6 mistakes a U-Boat Commander will make... and I have done it myself!

6) Treating the U-Boat like a sniper. It's not. It's an assasin. Commanders need to get close and personal to their prey. That was how the U-Boat was designed. Getting close eliminates the error in calculations.

5) Thinking you’re invisible when you’re underwater. You’re not invisible, your chances of being detected or just lowered.

4) When a plane is spotted, your first instinct is to get to the fLAK gun instead of diving.

3) In daytime hours, when a ship is spotted, you don’t go to periscope depth immediately. This should be your first instinct.

2) Checking your TDC set up before you fire a torpedo. How many times have you launch the torpedo and it went the wrong direction?

1) Periscope discipline. This is the most important mistake most guys make, I even made a video on it because of it.
