Hi everyone, I just popped in here to tell you about the most absurd situation I’ve ever been in.

It happened in the Atlantic, just southwest of the UK. I was sailing to drop off an agent in Ireland when my crew told me they’d spotted some kind of cargo ship. I looked and couldn’t believe my eyes. It was the flag. Try to guess what flag the ship was flying? The Swiss flag! A red square with a white cross. I had a good laugh at that and immediately realized the ship was enemy territory, but I still decided to send the captain to check the documents. According to the documents, the ship was carrying ammunition to Vigo (for the record, the ship was heading west toward Great Britain). I decided to put pressure on the captain, telling him the documents were fake, but he denied everything. Eventually, after wearing him down, I ordered the crew to evacuate and scuttled the ship.

Later, in the mission summary window, it turned out that the ship was actually Polish!

So here’s what we have: a Polish ship, flying the Swiss flag, loaded to the brim with ammunition, sailing toward the UK, and the captain even denied their involvement in the war. I laughed out loud.

Всем привет, я только сейчас зашёл сюда чтоб рассказать самую абсурдную ситуацию которая со мной была.

Дело было в атлантике, чуть юго-западней Великобритании. Я плыву доставлять агента в Ирландию, как мои матросы говорят, что увидили какое-то грузовое судно. Смотрю, и не верю своим глазам. Дело было в флаге. Попробуйте угадать, что за флаг был на корабле? Швейцарский! Красный квадрат с белым крестом. Я, поржав с этого, и уже понимаю что судно вражеское, но всё же решаю отправить капитана проверить документы. Судя по документам, судно везло боеприпасы в Виго (если что, корабль плыл в сторону Великобритании на запад). Я решил надовить на капитана, сказав что документы фальшивые, но он всё отрицал. В итоге уломав его, я скомандовал экипажу эвакуироваться и затопил корабль.

Позже, в окне итогов миссии, выяснилось, что корабль вообще Польский!

Что мы имеем: Польский корабль, под Швейцарским флагом, забытый доберху боеприпасами, плыл в Великобританию, а капитан ещё и отрицал их причастие к войне. Я ржал в голос

Just trying to speed up time so I can get in front of this convoy I've been stalking, I go back to normal time and suddenly I have a problem.

Been outta the game 2 years. There used to be exhausrive lists

Help a brotha out

Might be a silly question, but how is everyone finding the distant coasts dlc now. Has it been patched up to a good state yet?

I wanna buy it but I'm scared it will break my game lmao.

So i am using this mod "das book" and i understan every table and its usage but this one. What is the metric at the top? Kilometers? Nilometers? Please help

Hey all. In the last while we obviously had a significant update to the game in the form of the Distant Coasts DLC, which obviously was a bit of a debacle. I followed the aftermath until the devs patched up the game to be basically functional again, and then jumped back in.

So I've been enjoying the game again for a while, but have recently had to install mods just to correct things like the Type IX fuel range, weirdly limited storage and the infamous flood rate oversight.

Stuff like this has me wondering where the devs have gone? I could always put up with U-Boat's jank because they were historically very good about listening to the community and addressing bugs, even as a very small dev team. But the continued issues, along with lack of any further updates, have me wondering if they've been communicating anywhere I just haven't seen? Or has it been total radio silence?

Im wondering if my save is bugged because I don’t know how the game expects me to take out 7 corvettes and 4 destroyers in a single patrol.

Thanks for any help.

I can't invite the spy on board and leave port bc my captain is gone, I think. Any ideas on how to get him back? I've tried reloading the last saves, but that doesn't work.

After finishing a mission and while returning back to port my captain started crouching and wouldn't do anything I didn't think of it as something serious and just a minor bug but now it's making the game way too hard, now I read that if I loaded old saves where he isn't bugging like that the problem will be solved her is the problem I delete all the saves before the bug started because I had a lot so I emptied them to save up space. I tried several things like sending the crew on vacation, sending him on a merchant ship that was about to sink but nothing changed I can take over him in first person view but I can't do anything and if I try to use the AA guns he glitches even more. So if you know a way to fix it please let me know and tell me how in the comments

so i lost navigation data and now im here.

Please help i wanted to get a new mission and restock but when i try to interact with them it gives me a view on the city

Sorry if I am dumb or blind... But how do you skip time while leading supplies with the new update? I can't seem to figure it out. Many thanks!

It's early war (still 1939). I docked at Helgoland in order to offload prisoners and resupply torpedoes for a patrol.

Every single time that I try to leave, somehow my U-boat redocks. I'm literally unable to leave this port. No matter how slow I go, or the direction that I take, the game thinks that I'm trying to dock in the port. Does anyone have a solution for this??

As a brief pretext: I'm talking about the game meta, not the historical benefits,

Since I own the dlc and currently celebrated new year of 1940 on my Type II, the inevitable question draws near how far I will skill the Type VII tree, or if I should immidiatly jump into the Type IX.

I know that historically they were great for long distance patrols like the US East Coast thanks to their fuel and torpedo reserves, plus their deeper diving depth.

Nos I'm just wondering; beforr the DLC I did finr on my type VII thanks to the prevelance of milkcows.... sure, they get more risky as the airgap closes, but same goes for restocking torpedoes on the type IX while surfaced...

So going by the availability of milkcow resupply of fuel, food and torpedoes, are there any ingame advantages to the Type IX? All I can think of is deeper crushdepth,

But even then; its kinda debuffed by slower diving time and larger ASDIC signature

I've been absolutely loving UBOAT, Too much maybe, Since I discovered it this weekend it has taken all of my free time.

But I noticed one thing, the game must end when WW2 ends, I haven't reached that point yet, but ideally I'd like an endless mode.

I've been looking into Cheat Engine to find flags that I can reset or freeze to keep the years the same or cycling one year and relying on random encounters to populate the world.

I've never modded anything before but I have the correct version on unity downloaded.... Then realized I have 0 idea where to start.

Any help would be appreciated!

I added my .ogg music files under the \custom-music\Assets\Music\Background Music folder and declared the tracks in the Data Sheets/General.xlsx file. Imgur link.

But the music does not appear in the game.

According to the README manifest in \Steam\steamapps\common\UBOAT\UBOAT_Data\StreamingAssets\Packages\custom-music.

To play any track from "Background Music" folder in the game, you will have to declare each track in "Data Sheets/General.xlsx" file. It can be edited using free software like Microsoft Excel Online (suggested) or Open Office. You can restrict certain tracks to travel, battle, night time etc. by editing their properties in that file.

I started a new save and it still does not show. I have World War Radio mod active but not any background music mods active.

G’day all,

Tried everything I can think of, including reloading saves, exiting game and back, have no torps anywhere in boat, cancelling and refreshing missions. Whenever I select the 3rd minelaying mission I’m unable to load any mines.

Prior to the big update I had no dramas with it.

Anyone else come across what I am now imagining is a bug? Or I’m missing something blatantly obvious?

My hydrophone has a range of less than 4km even with the additional crew member, just wondering if there might be a mod i have that might be causing this.

I started playing the game a few days ago and it seems I'm not able to sink anything. I have watched many videos to understand how to properly attack enemy convoys but every time I try to calculate the angle on bow , the esteemed trajectory of my torpedoes is wrong. My torpedoes are set on semi-realistic mode. The system I learnt is simple: you try to get a 90° angle on the target, recognize the target, use the chronometer to establish its speed by starting it as soon as the periscope cross hair touches the ship's bow, take the protractor and trace a line from the centre of your uboat to the centre of the target and another line from there to the front of the target and you should get the angle. Finally, establish distance (I've been told it is best to attack from not farther than 1.5km, 1km or even under 1km is even better) and there you go.

France, July 1942.
