Had some issues with crew schedules but it appears fixed in latest version. The playthrough has advanced to occupied France and I run a VIIC/42 now with snorkel and Metox - my build feels complete for now. Got a high value mission target last mission and peeked at the wreck if I could salvage maybe tech that was allegedly aboard but no dice. Sound model seems to work over boat switches now, too. Soon the cargo ships ships will get their armaments I suppose and gunboat attacks will become rarity. As in all EA phases the vanilla stacking limits annoy me a bit.Oooooh, Uboat Full release August 2nd

I've blustered about with time compression during torpedo attack. It resulted in yeeting a ship out the water and back. 2 crewmembers have been hospitalised with TB which is unfair, because America isn't yet at war and England shouldn't have access to Arthur Morgan.
A recent convoy interception saw us using a NPC U Boat as diversion and heading to the core of the convoy. We picked the fattest targets and went out the other side in drive-by shooting style. We have more concerning issues than a departing convoy and need to rush to another boat in distress. The VIIC/42 comes equipped with a Flakvierling by STANDARD and we've been using it successfully on ships already. It doesn't cause much fire using PB. Should I use HE: Yes/No?

I haven't seen any such claims. Maybe a misunderstanding? Currently you cannot skip IIB or VIIB if you start in IIA - you have to unlock all in order. I needed to go from VIIB to VIIC and then to VIIC/42.
Preview 21
- If a Type IIA U-boat is still used after 10th of June 1940, the command now orders the player to upgrade it to a Type IID or later, since all Allied shipping routes are beyond its range at this point and it's not possible to send it on any patrol assignment.
I just want to try play Type II forever.

Ah, yes, that's from the new patch notes, right. The missions will shift to the west which makes the IIA unsuitable. The IID is basically the same boat but with more fuel. It still is a Type II boat.
The Type II is scary - it doesn't have any partitions - no bulkheads.
Yeah, I thought it looked kind of weird from what I've seen on Youtube.
It is however accurate.
It is Uboat time.

UBOAT is a simulator of a submarine from WWII era. It is a survival sandbox with crew management mechanics while its primary theme is life of German sailors. The boat is their home, but it can become their grave at any time.
I watched a hands youtube video on this yesterday, and it sounds like it's in a rough state. Very buggy and not fun was the impression they gave. The worst bit for me was they said enemy AI seems to spot you from miles away and stop what they are doing to attack you, which is the complete opposite of how it was supposed to work. You were supposed to be sneaking around avoiding combat as much as possible. Sounds like that's not possible in the game as it is.Anyone else been looking at Forever Winter? I love the art style which is inspired by Phil Tippett's "Mad God" and I also love the fact that you play a scavenger in a huge war that just goes on around you.
The Forever Winter on Steam
The Forever Winter is a tactical shooter where you and your squad must loot the dead to survive under the shadow of terrifying and gargantuan war machines locked in a never-ending conflict. Millions of deaths later the war continues with our latest update!
Early access is next week, I'm still looking forward to it, but might be waiting till 2025 now. At least if that video was accurate.
I loved the Type II back in the good old days of Silent Hunter III.
Whilst everyone on subsim.com were drawing knives for jocular but poe-faced arguments about the Type VII vs. the Type IX, there was a small select group of us in 'the type II club' who used to do quite well in multiplayer games due to the low silhouette and sonar cross-section.
Get in, hit the priority target of the convoy and get out, with bragging rights for getting in the top 3 players every game despite only having 5 (iirc) eels to lob at the allies.
Probably going to be a long wait, but Running With Rifles 2 is in the works.
