Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What can I do at the resources and torpedoes section?

A: If you have selected the option “U-boat <> Depot” on the top right, you can transfer the torpedoes in a particular torpedo bay between the depot and the bay. To do this, click the name of the bay. If you have selected “Internal”, you can transfer torpedoes from one tube to another, for example from the fore torpedo tube in the front reserve. Then click on the torpedo you want to transfer, and then on the target torpedo tube. Which torpedo is loaded next, and which torpedoes are available for loading may be crucial in a combat situation.

You can also manage the supplies like fuel and ammunition on board your u-boat. When you select the option “U-boat <> Depot” on the top right, you can click the relevant icon to transfer resources back and forth between the depot and the U-boat.

Q: What can I do at the repairs section?

A: Use this sub-section to check if your boat has sustained damages. The U-boat is divided into several sections (compartments), e.g. bow, aft and deck. The damage value for each section will be indicated as a percentage. Click on a section of the U-boat to see which sub-system and items of equipment are damaged in this section.

Some systems may be shared by several compartments (e.g. the pressure hull), and when you repair the system in one compartment, it will also be repaired in all the others.

You can use the “Repair” button to repair individual elements, but this comes at a cost. You can also use the “Repair all” button to order a complete overhaul, but this option is only available in the base.

Q: What can I do at the modifications section?

A: You can install any available item of equipment, provided an upgrade is available. You can also dismount individual parts and store them in the depot or install another item. Bear in mind that you can only install certain items in the U-boat selected. Moreover, some items of equipment for your U-boat are optional (snorkel, deck gun, etc.), whereas others must be installed to enable you to pursue the enemy; a U-boat without an engine wouldn’t get very far!

Q: What’s the purpose of the queue in the bunker?

A: Each U-boat in the bunker has its own queue for any work that is currently being carried out on it (purchase, repairs, upgrade of individual parts, etc.). This work will be carried out from top to bottom by your crew. The remaining time for completion of each task will be indicated. The U-boat cannot leave the bunker until the processes are completed.

The queue will always be displayed while you are in the bunker or the depot. If you want to immediately complete one or more tasks, you can invest credits to either complete particular processes or end all processes immediately if required.

Q: What can I do at the depot?

A: All the items of equipment, crew members and consumable resources you own but which have not yet been transferred to your U-boat are stored here, and each item occupies a slot in the depot. The number of free slots is limited but can be increased to allow you to store more items.

Click on an occupied slot to view a description of the item and additional options. You can remove an item from the depot at any time by clicking the Remove button. However, the item will then be permanently lost!

Q: How can I sort the items in the depot?

A: To gain a better overview, you can use the button on the left to opt to show all the items or a particular category only (e.g. officers). You can also use the Stack button on the top right to group all the items of the same type. To gain a better overview, you can use the button next to it to sort the items shown by criteria, such as their value, consumption rate, etc.

Q: How can I add new items to the depot?

A: Click the Shop button if you would like to add more items to the stores in your depot. Here you can acquire all the items that are currently available to you.

However, some items will only be available at a later stage of the game, e.g. if you reach a new experience level or once you have achieved certain objectives in a campaign.

Q: What’s the purpose of the queue in the depot and shop?

A: In the shop/depot queue you will see all the orders you have placed at the shop. Here you will see only those items you have paid for by redeeming your Prestige points. All the upgraded items you have purchased with credits will immediately enter your depot with no waiting time.

Q: How do I board my u-boats?

A: To access your boats, go the strategic map and click on the respective u-boot button in the U-boat menu. On board your U-boat, you have numerous actions available for navigation, reconnaissance and of course for hunting enemy units. Remember that this screen may look slightly different depending on the U-boat type you have selected.
