Personally, I'd like to practice the SOPs as mentioned in the forum, as well as practice manoeuvring board techniques together with a well disciplined crew.

I'm happy to take any role, but preferred roles are Captain, Navigator and Radio.

Post a game time and people will join. Every game I've seen posted here usually has between 4 and 20 people join.

I will be hosting Wolfpack Games from 18:00-22:00 gmt

ive setup a Wolfpack Adler Group.
ive mastered the dive and helm station now learning the TDC AOB stuff thanks to Onkel Neals post on the subject the angle on the bow is from the aspect of the target ships
bearing/view of you in your uboat that was the eureka moment for me.
Playing SH3 GWX Steel Sharks Campaign never used manual targeting before seemed like too much trouble especialy late 1942 onwards attacking forty plus ship convoys
with twelve to twenty escorts half of them elite.
Playing Wolfpack with no gods eye mode and no map contact updates may feel a bit daunting at first.
But when you close on the convoy and get into a good firing position and let loose your eels take a look at the torpedo run time and make a note start the stop watch as
the seconds tick away one minuet two minuets and ten seconds no hits ho shoot then on two minuets fiften seconds boom boom shake the room you got a hit you sharp shooter.
I like the sound of the mufelled explosions as the torpedos find there mark when at peiscope depth in your uboat adds to the emersion.
Wolfpack is more than just a Uboat Sim its a labour of love the two guys from skyvader studios have done a cracking job with this game and its only going to get better.
So what you waiting for Wolfpack just one price £27.97 $35 a absolute bargain depending on what side of the big duck pond you live.

I would certainly be interested in European timezone friendly sessions. But currently RL demands attention too much. Maybe in a couple of weeks it's better.

Me and nocken played Wolfpack Monday and Tuesday evening best two Wolfpack games so far results below
after a few practice games blackswan40 getting to grips with the dive and helm stations nocken on the attack scope and TDC we closed on the convoy and firing at a distance 3250-3800mtrs with limited results only sinking one ship more by luck than anything else but surviving and the other mission while on the surface closed to close to the merchants and a escort came out of the mist and made our Uboat into a cullinder ouch.
We then tried closing but keeping out of the convoys visual range on us the mist helped us in that regard like a protective shroud so to speak as we got ahead of the convoy we turned in on our prey then nocken ordered dive.
We slipped beneath the surface i blew the negative tank just left the smallest amount of water in the negative tank following SOP'S leveled off at 24mtrs and came up slowly
then leveled off dive planes when we reached 13.5 mtrs we pushed in close and let our first four bow eels go it don't half make your mouth dry and your palms sweat don't it just waiting for an explosion that may never come then a hit like a muffeld dull sound wave passing through the ocean and hiiting your sub like a distant echo adds to the ambiance of the Game whoops slip of the tonuge there ship mates i mean Simulation with a capital S.
Then no sooner as our first sinking registered on our scoreboard another two hits in quick succession on a linner we then engaged other targets racking up even more tonage.
Wolfpack can not be compared to anything that as come before but this Simulation has a quality and pedigree all of its own and its only going to get better.
Yes yes and yes i'm a Wolfpack Fanboy the two lads of skyvader studios and Onkel Neal have not just made a Uboat Simulation its far more than that its a Labour of Love akin to your first born.
