Just give me a game where I'm sitting on a horse on a hill and every 30 minutes some guy rides up and yells something in French at me.

in a very artistic move the act of asking for a situational report that may or may not show up reflect the DRM system of rtw2 "but admiral, by definition a naval blockade is not piracy"

Scourge of War: Waterloo (and the rest of the series in the American Civil War) allow you to crank up realism command and control frog settings, limiting your direct control of units. At the highest setting orders will be relayed via courier and responses will return the same way. You’ll have to provide the out-loud reading yourself because the relayed orders are in text. It’s actually a good game too. The battles are like the Total War series x 1000 in scope. edit: my phone corrected ‘grog’ to ‘frog’ which is pretty good in this context Captain Beans fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Apr 30, 2019 |

Obviously disappointed by but fully understand the delay, even without Chris' missus being hospitalised (all the best). Projects I follow almost always get delayed - or they desperately needed to be but weren't. As much as I'd like to be using my empty May to be playing RTW, these things happen, and a few more weeks of spit and polish can't hurt. I would love an open beta, but I suppose that's been considered and the burden of sifting through feedback probably deemed an inefficient use of team resources.

Remember, the next time you go to buy groceries if some old guy isn't hand dipping your food out of an oaken barrel that the store is fancier than it needs to be and may collapse on top of you at any second, so drop anything you have and RUN.

UBOAT's launch, so far, is very early access. Lots of genuine problems and lots of people absolutely shocked that an EA game has problems! I've run into quite a few annoyances (my current biggest being crewmen getting stuck on eachother/geometry and unable to perform duties) but no real showstoppers yet. Well, besides my frustration various UI elements aren't how I except them to be after years of SH3/4, but thats not the game's fault! Mostly.

Gimme a Vietnam War simulator where you sit in the Pentagon for 12 hours a day collating data while McNamara yells at you for random statistics. The Papers Please guy could probably make a fun game out of that.

Hmmm I think I found my geometry hitching problem in the forward compartments. There are torpedoes in the ceiling, and I'm pretty sure that is not meant to represent the external stores. Also just had it crash shortly after I noticed this, RIP. Early Access is Early Access. [edit] Yeah that looks more like the proper spot for external stores.

The whole crew system should be seriously overhauled. It sucks. I can see what the idea was (it does make the game more immersive) but it's tedious and it's compounded by the fact that the user interface is a pain to deal with. Maybe after I have a few hours in the game I won't find it so irritating but as far now it's seriously getting in the way of my enjoyment of the game. Also, why would you reduce the boat's complement from 50 to 15 and then have crew fatigue? It's such a bizarre choice.

This is disappointing to read - my thought on the crew stuff the whole time has been that it could be fun if done right but could just as easily be a pain in the rear end.

The devs do seem to listen to feedback from what I’ve seen (though the sheer volume now that it’s out in EA maybe change things) so be sure to post thoughts on the steam forum if you want. I probably will after I’ve had more time with the game, and yeah the crew management needs work.

Welp, just suffered my first boat lost. Had only recently reached my patrol grid when my lookouts spot an aicraft closing from astern, only a few miles out. I order crash dive but its not enough for this fast bastard. He brackets us with charges, three sailors badly injured, severe leak in the rear torpedo room. I try to plug it at first but quickly realize the flooding is too bad and evacuate. Its fine, that compartment alone flooded won't be a problem, I'll just blow balast to counter act and... Oh.. the depth controls are disabled (along with a lot of other poo poo) and we're sinking fast... Bulkheads start failing because of the pressure, which only increases the flooding... RIP, once we hit 300m and some very  metal groaning sounds started I didn't have the heart to keep watching and switched to main menu (AFAIK it just fades to black anyways).  I'm am surprisingly salty. Especially because we were about 1400nm west of Cornwall and the Short Sunderland has a range of ~1750nm , so unless these assholes were on a one way trip they shouldn't have been there.

1400nm west of Cornwall is only 550nm NW of the Azores and 800nm ESE of Newfoundland though.

I don't know much about the battle of the Atlantic but I don't see why not? No, according to google Britain didn't ask for bases in the Azores until August 43. It's still technically feasible from Newfoundland though, albeit catastrophically unlucky on your part. Although far more likely to just be unintended behaviour I know.

Speaking of bad aircraft encounters, I lost my first boat when I got spotted by a Sunderland while trying to transit the Gibraltar straits. At 2 in the morning. Aircraft seem like they're still a work in progress. Also, is anyone else bumping into a lot of friendly U-boats? I feel like I'm averaging like 3 per patrol. It's weird.

Is there an over arching strategic layer yet for UBOAT? Like does the tonnage you sink have an effect on the war effort or anything?
