Immersive techniques for the true subsimmer! - Page 9

I also ditched the recognition manual, except for warships, or ship classes that were really build to standard measurements (like liberty freighters)

Yep, that's the beauty of the 90 attack; don't need aob or range so no manual needed either.

Getting back to it!

Very informative and similar to how I play, although I will implement some of the tips given here to take it further

It’s a little early but I present to you:

All the information in this post and your videos are amazingly useful.
I started playing SH5 for the first time not long ago because I came across some of your videos.

I am trying to learn by reading some books you recommend and watching you play.

I am nowhere near to be called a captain yet but I enjoy every minute of this game. I actually play without any TC at all. My navigation is long but I use that time to keep learning, reading and doing other tasks.

Thanks again for the effort you put in your tutorials!

@Noonai...

Thank you, I am glad these vids help.

The videos I created are in no way absolute historical. If you wanted you can get real serious with serious math and calculations...

But these vids are here to give you a visual approach to attacking a target.

The commanders in the beginning of the war use calculations and procedures taught at Academy.

By mid end war, they were being hunted and required quicker, simpler methods of attacking.

I hope I emulate them here.

Happy hunting!

So much material to go through... I am in my 2nd week of playing this game!

I have started writing down a KTB for my Uboat adventures. I even downloaded a font that simulates "old" typewriter characters.
I note down things that we can find in KTBs (btw, this is an amazing read too!) but I also write down events or messages received from radio. Even Enigma ones although this is probably dangerous. We don't want our diary to fall in the enemy hands with decoded messages!

But really helps me on the immersion of the game. I love how easy is to role play in any aspect with this game.

I have also installed a red filter on my light (while I wait for my led lamp). Thanks for this bstanko6! Your home setup video is amazing. I am stealing so much from you.

One thing I want to explore is eventually create a real TDC of some sort with arduino. I have no idea if this is possible at all. I know it might be possible to read data from the game (create a dial for the fuel, rudders etc...) but I have no idea how crazy will be to input data from a device into the game.

I can't find anything done in the net so I will keep searching!

Again, thanks a lot for all the knowledge shared in this thread! I have years to catch up but I play in real time (absolutely no TC) so I have time to kill between hunting contacts!

Guys thanks so much for the excellent instructional videos this is a great thread! I will recommend 2 excellent reference books

U-Boat Attack Logs by Daniel Morgan
German U-Boat Losses During WWII by Axel Niestle

Both excellent well put together top shelf books. Thanks again for your videos keep it up!

bstanko6 · 04-18-20, 05:38 PM

@derstosstrupp...

Nice! I totally forgot about that video! Thanks for posting t!

John Pancoast · 04-18-20, 06:11 PM

Interesting ! I'm always curious though; so many demonstration videos show the scope up for very long times to accomplish this or that.

How is it not seen ?

p.s. I want that hotas.

bstanko6 · 04-18-20, 06:25 PM

@John Pancoast...

You are right. Periscope discipline is important. I did a video on it.

This or that device in some demonstration videos is being used because it's "historically realistic", yet something so basic is ignored.

But maybe it's only done for demonstration purposes, don't know.

Impressive work the guy did regardless.
