very confusing sub control

bp051815 · 11-10-17, 02:07 AM

Is there any website or youtube video that I can learn how to play this amazing game other than in the game training? The training in the game was very confusing.

Jive Turkey has some pretty good tutorial videos on YouTube.

The controls are pretty hands on and straight forward, think of your sub as underwater helicopter

Or just give depth and heading orders and let the crew take care of it.

You steer your sub manually :

- Manually with WASD keys to use the planes for steering and changing depth,
- X to level all out at any moment
- E,C to use ballasts to surface / dive (independent of planes)
- Q,Z to increase / decrease speed.

Using planes and ballasts at the same time will more quickly surface/dive your sub, also depending on speed.

Or:
Give your crew direct orders via the menu for speed, course, depth:

Use mini-bar to set speed, depth.
To set course, press H and move the mouse on the tactical map, right-click to set new course. The sub crew will care about the necessary manoeuvres for you.
X to level all out at any moment

Important:
Use the manual method in combat for torpedo evasion etc.

Hope this helps, no need to longely search for a video, this is so basic that no video will expressely show it to you.

I reset my keybindings to the arrow keys for left / right rudder, up and down dive planes.

To answer the original OP question- Yes there are many Cold Waters vids on you tube including tutorials, game overviews to runthroughs.

A simple search will bring up enough to watch for hours if not days.

Seconded. I used the page up/down and home end for planes/ballast. Set keys to what make sense in your head and it becomes much easier.
