UBOOT - new gameplay
https://youtu.be/eLMQ8_BG51I
Very nice graphics and looks pretty immersive. I hope it has the maths and physics right. One of the biggest kick of playing a submarine game is to play at the highest realism level and to do the calculations yourself, resulting in a torpedo strike at the calculated moment of time.
I remember reading a blog about a Maths teacher who used Silent Hunter III to teach geometry. SH3 was his favourite game as he would emulate the Uboat captains in manually plotting a perfect firing solution by using mathematics, rulers, slide rules, stopwatch and protractors. It would be great if UBOOT would also include such mathematics and engineering realism.

September Update
12 September - nihilcat
Hello friends!
We hope that you had a great holiday.
The day has come when we can share the news about our development again. We did not disappear, we worked as usual. UBOOT is an integrated part of our existence lately ;)
The game is getting more and more full of shape. As usual, we changed some old things that seemed to be good before, but in time with our experience increasing they had to evolve into better form. We have also added quite new things that we hope will appeal to you.
You must be impatient, so let's get to the point.

This U-Boat simulation is unlike any you have ever seen.

For example, when was the first or last time you saw a cross-section of the U-Boat filled with flood water?

Never! Until now. Simply...amazing.

Whatever...."just take my money".
And finally, since we are on the subject of U-Boats, check this out:
Start Up of a WW2 Submarine Diesel Engine of a German U-Boat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLfa43_1WH8
Published on 24 June 2018.
Start up of a 6-cylinder diesel engine. The submarine engine RS 34 S was used in the Type XXIII submarines. Originally, it was designed by MWM as a diesel generator for the battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz. The engine has 108 liters cylinder capacity (18 liters for each cylinder) and 576 hp at 850 revolutions per minute.
The engine has been lovingly restored and maintained. Kept in a warehouse.

If Johan, the Ghost were there, he would be attentively adjusting and fiddling with the engine in its crammed confines of a U-boat. It must have been nothing short of hell aboard a U-Boat for the crew. The non-stop noise and heat alone would have been unbelievable.
