[wrxibz]

Any ship was a snack for those uboats they were impressive

[TrippandRun]

Command it in Silent Hunter 3

[SuperFallschirmjager]

[zordja]

who's the narrator of the series, i like him more than what i find from the other vids.

[NULAtenacINVIAestVIA]

4:30 there is a falsehood, not British but three Polish engineers Rejewski, Różycki i Zygalski decipher the Enigma !

[rva1945]

What are the two levers that the crew member pulls down at 1:53?

[SuperAncientmariner]

@rva1945 Main engine induction valves

[Falkirion]

2:59 Thats a type 2 in the foreground, why the heck would a type 2 be doing in a wolf pack?

[alievederci]

@Falkirion Against the convoys in the North Sea

[concordefb]

That is truley nice U-boot. I vould like to have one.

[Chained2Alice]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! I love that!

[ml191172]

My God, how I hate Aryeh Nusbacher..

[chew2198]

the germans only have a hand full of these submarine and they just right away took on not 1 but 2 navy superpowers

[agwhitaker]

@chew2198 Over 700 type VII U-boats built and commissioned is a hand full ?

[chew2198]

@agwhitaker 700 is already a hand full enough to take on 2 naval superpower. America and the British have over tens of thousands of ship across the globe. 

[stephenterill]

it s not only technically (for that time - especially diving capabilities 250m!) the best, its also the most goregeous one

[yazpaul]

@stephenterill true!.... I love this class.........

[Watchyourselvez]

It had the navy version of the 88 mm deck gun. It could not use the same ammo as the army version but still, it was 88 mm. It had a very good reputation. The larger type IX uboats had a 105 mm deckgun. And the commentator said 9 cm just because, well, maybe he didn't have time to say 88 mm... hehehe.

[Basti6814]

best sub ever!

[portowiec1983]

4 diesel engines ????

9cm deck gun ?????

amateurs

[Steve19055]

Love this U-boat

[Ticonio]

yes, but what about the acommodation? comfort was nil in this U-boat!!!

[MantaFan1992]

4 Dieselmotoren? Die Typ VII/C U-Boote hatten 2 Dieselmotoren und 2 E-Maschinen.

[feuerwehrmannsaar]

@MantaFan1992 man konnte aber zusätzlich zu den dieseln noch die e-maschienen zuschalten. vlt. wird daher gesagt 4 maschienen;)

[robtom69]

ummm... i think the commentator is getting cm mixed up with mm... lol... hell of a torpedo if it was a 53 cm diameter..

[kisbys]

um no 53cm is about right are you thinking torpedoes are 5.3 cm out most modern torpedoes are about that

[robtom69]

whoops.. i dropped my decimal point.. your are correct of course.. 21 inches aprox for the diameter.. i think it through me when he said 9cm gun instead of the good ol' 88mm ..

[philipthegr8]

that would be a big motherfucking missile. British would be screwed.

[StigsEstoianCousin]

or maybe it's you who is mixing torpedo with a gun shell? Half a meter in diameter sounds about right for a thing that had to carry 280 kg of explosives for up to 14 km.

[boinaverdee]

anyone now the link for the complete video of the Top ten subs??

[493175001]

That's not a type VII at 5:12! It's a Type IX.

[Goofus5453]

type 7 c only had 2 engines

[PzAufklaerer12Btl]

yep and it was an 88 gun

[willychong8921]

U-boat is known by Germans as Utterseaboat or under sea boat. The Type-VII is a legendary and feared by many during World War II. But it failed to halt the American from aiding England and ultimately win the war.

[PzAufklaerer12Btl]

Utterseaboat ??? its unterseeboot ok? the reason why they had been sunk in numbers was different.

[willychong8921]

OK OK. I'm not a german so I only apply what I've seen in the Encyclopedia World War II. I think most of them were sunk by airstrike and Surface Hunter Killer group, a combanation of destroyer, crusiers and torpedo boats. I think......

[PzAufklaerer12Btl]

nope. it was sunk in numbers cause german enigma was captured, so allies were able to figure out where they gonna hit and in a point u are right, cause of the increased protection

[theassociatedlosi]

no. lol. you watch to many movies. the enigma didnt cause the mass sinking of u boats. what did was increeased and better airstrikeing and radar capabilities

[PzAufklaerer12Btl]

half true buddy. of course it had something to do with capturing the enigma. it allowed to decode german orders in which area boat are or will be operating. THAT allowed to concentrate airforce and all the "Uboat hunting" forces to concentrate in this area. of course the usage of radar as well. there were more then on reasons but one of them was simply the enigma and allies operating in large convois even with carriers.

[theassociatedlosi]

i understand this, im simply saying the capturing of the enigmas isnt the biggest single factor in the destruction of the uboat force.

[habskickass29]

Die grauen Wölfe!!!

[sani154ta]

great submarine

[CombatMedicTM]

U-Boat! ;o)

There is a difference between Subs and U-Boats

But youre right in the end... great boat!

[sajuuk212]

actually there isn't, U-boat is just an abbreviation to the German word for submarine but you are right in that there is a difference between ww2 subs (u-boats if you like) and modern subs, plus its a great sub to play in silent hunter 3 :)
