U42: The Silent Hoffmann

I saw a submarine article and it was blocked. I hope this will be different.

In the era of King Tiger, air gap armor can be introduced, as well as composite armor with rubber steel plates and modular cast armor with ceramic balls. However, composite armor has a problem with the back plate being cracked by full-caliber armor-piercing projectiles.

I want to give it five stars, but the author has German dialogues in it, which I don't think is necessary, because I can't understand it, and there is a Chinese translation later. There is also the dedication to technology. Although it is for survival, I think as a senior executive, if he sees this kind of treasure, he will not let him go to sea again. The other things are very good. If the author could include pictures of each piece of equipment, the reading experience would be better

The writing is really good and very detailed. The only drawback is that there are too many German words. If it is not a professional term, it is not necessary. Then the protagonist is in a state of extreme excitement at all times, or it is inexplicably deep. Maybe the author wants to highlight the bipolar disorder under extreme pressure, or the protagonist really has too much Pervitin, which may be necessary for realism? Then there are some basic errors in key places. For example, in the Scapa Flow section, the U-boat's passive sonar can detect completely silent targets such as anti-submarine nets and shipwreck roadblocks. This is the biggest bug. There is also a similar beginning when U42 leaves the port and uses active sonar to capture the friendly boat U43. At this time, the U-boat does not have this thing at all, and the detection range is not that far (the Allied ASDI detection range is only 2/3km). The author seems to always have some problems with hydrophones. Then there is the history that U47's dive was not completely submersible, because the water channel was actually very shallow. He chose to dive at 0 o'clock because the tide was high at that time. When he approached, he was in a semi-submersible state. Later, he walked to the narrow mouth north of Lambholm because the anti-submarine net restricted the water depth. He directly discharged the ballast tank and floated completely, but was still caught by the net on the bottom of the ship.

After "I am a Submarine Commander", I have read a very good article on submarines. I hope to continue to update it. Great support for the author!

The description is realistic and the writing style is suitable for old bookworms 👍 Come on, if you like World War II military novels, you can read a few chapters to find out [Love]

The power of sea, land and air is so great that Germany is invincible!

It is so well written, just like the events that happened in real history. The protagonist is an ordinary person, and he works hard to do what he can in the ordinary, and finally writes his own legend that belongs to this era...

The work is very good and the plot is also very exciting. The characterization is also very good. This is basically what a modern person with sufficient military knowledge can do after traveling to the past.

First person submarine writing, good writing style
