Any plans to add 'zero gyro' precalculated torpedo tables?
Aku 23 Jul @ 6:47am 
Sorry for asking a different kind of MOD from you. I tried to make it myself but I couldn’t succeed, so I’m now asking people who can do it. I wish you a good day.

Hi bro, I’d like to kindly request something:

In Uboat, when the captain dies and we promote an officer to captain, they wear a special suit uniform. If you're curious, it looks like:

1. The man next to the mission vehicle
2. The one from whom we recruit crew members

This uniform exists in-game but is hidden and only wearable by the captain under certain conditions. I want to make it available to all officers, and if possible, the entire crew.

I'm not a modder, but I’ve done research that might help—please don’t take this as ego.

I believe if we replace an existing outfit (like “jacket-05”) with this special uniform, it could solve the issue easily.

If you can create and upload this mod to the Workshop, I’d be very happy. A few friends of mine also want this uniform, and I’d love for others to enjoy it too. Thanks in advance!

Not in the cards. But why don't you check out Dynamic Distance Labels .
Flat Stanley 16 Jun @ 8:50am 
Is it possible to get Nautical Miles for Speed/Distance/Time tables as well?

@lock1nout
You can find what you've missed in the Note About the Distance Tables section of the description.
lock1nout 10 Jun @ 6:11pm 
i may be missing something, but is there a reason i cannot option 1x, 2.5, 10x magnification for the More Accurate Persicope mod? The distance chart that is specific to that mod shows those magnification labels.

@Drexack Amazing work! Could you please add more reference tables from Silent Hunter 5 mods for example?
Drexack  [author] 31 May @ 1:12am 
@Weirdoman
It is still up-to-date and working with 2025.1.
Subscribe, activate it in the launcher (ignore the "outdated" message if there is one, it's meaningless), and start using it.
Have fun!
Weirdoman 26 May @ 11:20am 
will there be an update for latest version?

Thank you for your comments.

@Geek On Hugs: Unless something major changes, the mod should be compatible with future updates.

@Lukas: Sorry, the way the mod is structured - it would be a lot of work to add a German language version.

@Ryan: I explained it in the description. Short answer, no. UBOAT is lacking a lot of routes, especially in the southern hemisphere. I may update the map in the future when UBOAT adds the type IX with more routes.

@Ferguson: Don't have the game installed right now to check it out. Safe answer, no.

@Vangheist, @anton: Not modding for UBOAT right now, I've been really busy. I'll revisit/consider people's suggestions when I get back into it.
anton 30 Apr @ 2:35pm 
add a table of shooting straight shots
Ryan 24 Apr @ 3:27am 
Are these routes ingame accurate?
Ferguson 17 Apr @ 12:41pm 
will this work on older versions of the game like 2022.1
Vangheist 16 Apr @ 8:34am 
Hello and my apologies if this has been asked and answered before: what do you think of adding sine tables for calculating AOB by aspect ratio? I just think it would be neat.

Love the Book as it is as well, never play without it anymore.
Lukas 14 Apr @ 11:30am 
Is it possible to get a Version of this in German Language?
Geeks On Hugs 14 Apr @ 7:42am 
I subscribed but then didn't see it yet and just learned that I need to go into "Mods" on the launcher to enable it? So I've done that and it is enabled but in the launcher it says it is "outdated". Should I be concerned about that?
Geeks On Hugs 11 Apr @ 8:13am 
Clever name :D

Update 1.3:

-Added ability to replace swastika with iron cross via config file.
Ragulsor 2 Mar @ 9:02am 
Thanks for your answer
DARKNESS  [author] 27 Feb @ 2:45pm 
@Ctbb: I didn't add the book to FPP because I didn't think it would be necessary since it contains tables that are only useful when at periscope and map views. I also wanted 2 unique instances of the book for both views, one of which contains the nomograph. The current way I have my scripts/project setup, it doesn't make a FPP option feasible.

@Ragulsor: Youtube is fine with the hakenkreuz in games, I know of several SH steamers that never had issues...can't speak for other streaming platforms. Either way I'll add an option via a config file to replace it with an iron cross. I'll post the update soon.
NazakaSyndrome 26 Feb @ 1:41pm 
The addition of the table for an attack at an AOB angle of 90° with the different torpedo speeds would be really interesting!!
Ragulsor 23 Feb @ 3:12am 
Can you hide the hares cross? I think your mod is great and would like to use it in the live stream. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. greeting
Drexack  [author] 22 Feb @ 4:06pm 
@Kris While I can't quite offer you the actual assets, I can refer you to my Reddit post which contains most of the tables the pages DARKNESS' created are based on.
Kris 21 Feb @ 9:56am 
Do you have the pdf for this? I want to print this so i can get the real experience
Nebelwerfer 5000 18 Feb @ 8:26am 
a must have for the sim player!
Ctbb. 16 Feb @ 1:48am 
it would be cool to open this in FPP wiev is that possible to add.?
Drexack  [author] 14 Feb @ 2:06pm 
@Ragulsor Sure is!
Ragulsor 14 Feb @ 11:51am 
Hello, is the Mod Savegame kompatible ?
millnate 13 Feb @ 2:57pm 
I’ve subscribed to the mod but it’s not appearing in the launcher to enable it. Any ideas?
DARKNESS  [author] 13 Feb @ 12:56pm 
Updated to 1.1:

-Updated table for the More Accurate Periscope Sight mod.

-Reset button now also resets the size of both books and nomograph.

Be sure to read the updated description to understand the usage of the periscope distance tables. Basically, if you have your periscope magnification set to "Realistic", you use the "Realistic Periscope" table with either vanilla or the Realistic Periscope mod.

If set to "Extended", you use the More Accurate Periscope mod with the "More Accurate Periscope" table. No support for vanilla periscope magnification set to extended without this mod since it is a "easy mode" setting not within the scope of Das Book.
TexasHambone 12 Feb @ 6:52am 
Great mod. Please add a page to calculate distance from the horizontal scale on the vanilla/modded periscopes as well.
Finess 11 Feb @ 2:24am 
This is top quality! I love it!

Thanks mate! Finally, there is charts in Uboat - and a fine collection! Due to the lack of charts I developed a Python-calculator (thanks ChatGBT for Python-code), which is doing the same job. But charts are more authentic. There is a chart which could be integrated: Dependency of torpedo depth correlated to wind speed. Don't know if Uboat puts wave height into calculation...?
BobbySopor 8 Feb @ 10:16am 
absolutely amazing mod. i have a collection of charts and sheets i accumulated over the last year, if you want i can send it to you and you can have a look and maybe, add it or do a second book with it.
i have a book with prisenordnung and a behavioral manual for uboat captains for search patterns, attacks and techniques like ausdampfverfahren and more, its a great collection of things i learned in forums about uboat warfare.
also i have posters of evrey great warships of different nations in one jpeg per nation.
and i have a great toroedo diagram for timed multiple torpedo hits, and many more. i have around 200 charts all converted in jpegs for easy usage. if interested dm me

Thank you so very much @DARKNESS!

This is something that should be in the base game. Good job!
DARKNESS  [author] 3 Feb @ 2:40pm 
I want to say thank you to everyone for your comments and support. Much appreciated! :upvoted:
DARKNESS  [author] 3 Feb @ 1:27pm 
@uber.aegis - Thanks for the heads up. The table for that mod was made pre 2025.1 update. I'll have a conversation with Drexack and see what changes need to be made.
uber.aegis 3 Feb @ 10:41am 
Hi. More a FYI comment, I m using the more accurate periscope mod (WIDE) which only has two magnifications (x1.5 and x6). Your table has 3 magnifications for this mod (x1 ,x2.67 and x10). Regards
urseus 2 Feb @ 9:35pm 
Updated my thumbs up (on all my mods)

Thank you all who do these things. Basically worth the cost of the game again in bolt ons.

Fantastic!

sooo good M8.
sleels 2 Feb @ 3:03pm 
Ratings clearly don't matter on this site, some of the best mods don't have proper recognition.

I can't imagine someone giving an entire negative review over a font. (And appears to be historically correct even)

Such entitlement.

Amazing mod and the effort is definitely appreciated
