Hi Derstosstrupp, continuing to really enjoy these. Another 2 questions if I may:

1: Further to the issue of the colour of the deck; so black. Would that have just been a matt black colour designed to be weather resistant? I keep seeing photos of u boat decking and there is such a range of shades there to suggest the black faded pretty quickly to look almost grey. Trying to match a model colour.

2. Attack periscope optics: what we see in Wolfpack, is that realistic in terms of markings? Is that what a real u boat captain would have seen when he looked through a periscope?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Apoll,

I believe a matte black is accurate. It did indeed fade quickly and so it was common for them to bring paint along to repaint if necessary.

To the optics question, that’s correct, Wolfpack has now changed both periscopes to reflect the accurate graticule. The only difference between reality and what you see in the game is, in reality, the attack periscope projected the relative bearing by way of prisms, as well as the lead angle slider ring, so both were visible in the top of the view. Wolfpack doesn’t have the lead angle sliders though. The observation periscope projected 3 things at the top of the view: the relative bearing, the reciprocal relative bearing, and the lead angle slider.

Thanks Derstosstrupp. Very much appreciated.

I noticed this yesterday, in defense of Wolfpack, the ladder in U995 does does appear to be set back somewhat.

Yes that’s a good point, reality was somewhere in the middle. Wolfpack has made the tower interior a little bigger for gameplay purposes.
