@@TaffinExile the deforming of metal of a sinking ship is like the creacking of wood and sounds like moans of agony. quite fitting sound for a ship getting downed by artillary.

My grandfather served in a submarine in the Royal Navy during this war. He was an arsehole, treated my grandmother and his children like shit, was always grumpy and nasty around his grandchildren and I hated him. When he did I discovered he’d had a metal plate in his head from an operation after he’d suffered a shrapnel wound, and this had affected his personality. Years later my brother and I went on a tour of a submarine, we were told that the engine mechanics were often left alone from the rest of the crew and would often suffer from mental illnesses. As my grandfather was an engineer on his sub it made a lot of sense. I now have so much respect for this man, it’s sad how the war affected him and changed him, but I’m so proud of what he did.

I like that for historical accuracy they put Gdansk's Northern Harbour (that weird structure in lower left corner visible at 22:50) on the map. It was built in 1970s.

3:31 Ah yes, the Type VII A U-Zeppelin. A truly remarkable breakthrough in technology, being able to stay airborne for so long with a heavy, all-metal hull.

36:20 they did do that, until a u boat got sunk after helping a crew, im not sure what the details are of the sinking, but afterwards Donitz reluctantly gave a general order to shoot any survivors after the man with the little mustache ordered him to do so. There were stories of survivors paddling to the u boat just to find themselves trying to dodge flak gun fire it was pure insanity.. not all u boat commanders followed it, but many carried it out. Some were quite ruthless about it

In first attacks with the deck gun, using HE on the bridge is far more useful than AP on the waterline. 5 shots HE before changing to AP will kill a ship much faster, as well as taking out radio and steerage.

34:06 "Please shout in my face to secure the deck gun". That had me in stiches 😂🤣

You about made me spit my cola out when you said, "Please shout in my face to secure the deck gun" That was awesome :) Great video.

there was a uboat cap that after sinking a ship actually rescued them, they were on the deck and being towed in lifeboats. A US plane came across them and ignoring the survivors straffed them, causing the sub to emergency dive. Lots of survivors died and the sub got away.

I'd say the whole mission is bugged, since the navigator seems to be more interested in the Atlantic map rather than the Baltic sea chart, in witch the submarine currently are operating. Nice gameplay and video!
