UBOAT 04: Mining The British Coast and Getting Away (with it)
2Welcome to ANOTHER series of videos from @CaptChang Presents... UBOAT! I've actually owned UBOAT since its early access days, but never really tried it. Now that it's left early access, it's time to give it a try!
I attempt to do my second mission: mine the British Eastern Coast

00:00 Start Game
Let's continue...
02:08 Finding a replacement crew
We need a guy to replace Daniel who came down with TB... We picked Hans Oppermann.
05:00 Getting supplies
We technically need another 2 days rest to restore morale and stress, but we don't have that. We'll load what we can.
05:56 Getting new mission
The liaison officer has only a few missions: Enigma recovery (needs a diving suit for sure), Attack Scapa Flow (!), and Minelaying the British East Coast. Seems we must take the minelaying mission. And that means we need to unload 4 torpedoes (and we only carry 5, including 3 in the tubes).
08:55 Departure
Let's get out of here...
09:32 Alert!
Warship bearing 0! Alert! Dive! Dive! Dive! Blue lights! All devices off! Silent running! Planes to manual! Close bulkheads!
And we were so close to our target area... less than 10 km to go...
10:25 We were hit!
Hull breach in forward torpedo compartment! Multiple injuries!
Engineers, stop those leaks! Helm, left turn 90! Maintain speed! Radio, Patch up those injured crewmen! All four of them! Chief, help with minor repairs!
19:28 Injured crew stabilized; leaks stopped
Engineers, keep repairing what we can. Radio, take over the sonograph. Chief, how far are we to the target area?
Very close, captain. Maybe just a few more kilometers.
Continue on course.
20:22 Target area reached
No close-in contacts, captain.
Very well, launch the mines, 9 of them (3 per tube). Then let's get out of here.
22:21 Mining complete
All required mines deployed, captain.
Radio, send off the mission report, then let's get out of here.
23:00 We are home
Some crew got medals, so we allocated new skill points for the crew that earned it, load new supplies, and let's get a new mission... 2 "tonnage war" missions, plus Enigma recovery. We will pick the simpler tonnage war mission.
As for how that will turn out... will have to wait for the next episode.

I actually haven't played a WW2 sub sim for a VERY long time. Last one I've played was Sid Meier's Silent Service (the original, not II). Yes, it's been that long. I actually never played the Silent Hunter series either. This would be an interesting experience as I tend to play more "modern" sub sims.
I'll take it easy on myself and go with the "entertaining" setting instead of hardcore.
