Player Opinion

Performance

Performance:

U-69 is the tech tree Tier VI U-boat for the German submarine branch. As an introductory submarine, she is equipped with only homing torpedoes and has access to Reserve Battery Unit .

Hull:

U-69’s survivability is low, with an HP pool of 11,500. Her armor is nonexistent, with her entire hull covered in 16mm. Players should be careful not to be spotted on the surface for extended periods of time, as she will suffer heavy damage.

U-69’s maneuverability and concealment are very good at helping her survive in battle. Her turning radius and ruddershift are good, at 370 and 4.14 seconds respectively, which aids in dodging depth charges. Her concealment, at 5.65 km, is very good for her tier (outspotting almost every destroyer in her matchmaking spread).

She has an average 27 knot top speed on the surface, alongside a 13 knot underwater speed. While her surface speed is good, her underwater speed is slow, meaning careful positioning is vital in order to not be stuck in bad situations where her speed will not bail her out. Her speed is not enough to outrun destroyers and her hull can be vulnerable to depth charges if the player is not careful.

U-69’s Dive Capacity recharge and depletion rate are standard for her tier, at 1 unit/sec each. Her Dive Capacity reserve is high, at 230 units, allowing her to stay underwater for nearly 4 minutes. Her time underwater can be extended with the Reserve Battery Unit consumable which stops the depletion of Dive Capacity for 30 seconds per consumable. This gives U-69 an extra 90 units of dive capacity time.

Armament:

U-69’s sonar is a helpful tool for dealing damage. While the velocity is average at 500 m/s, the 11.5km of range, and fast reload time of 6.5s is enough to double ping reliably. The double ping lasts 50 seconds which allows ample time for homing torpedoes to arrive.

Homing Torpedoes

As a Tier VI submarine, U-69 only carries homing torpedoes as her torpedo armament. The homing torpedoes have best in tier range at 11.5km. They deal a respectable 7,533 damage, have a good speed of 76.65 knots, and have a 31% chance of flooding.

While she gets no access to conventional torpedoes, the fast speed and short arming distance allow the homing torpedoes to be used at close ranges against all targets, especially when shotgunning. Shotgunning is the act of closing distance to a target (around 2-3 km) and launching torpedoes at it, often heavily damaging or destroying low-health ships. Due to having 4 bow torpedo tubes, shotgun attacks will not deal as much damage in comparison to her successors (a maximum alpha strike of 30,132 damage), but the lower health and torpedo damage protection of Tier V and Tier VI ships allows her to comfortably deal high damage to targets. U-69 also gets a single rear torpedo tube, which can be used to finish crippled targets from behind. Her torpedoes all reload at the same time, at 50 seconds.

Consumables:

U-69 has a standard Damage Control Party , with three stock charges and a short 5 second duration time. Players should be careful not to quickly exhaust their limited charges or will rapidly lose HP to flood and fire damage.

Her Hydrophone is useful for tracking the location of surface ships while underwater. It lasts 30 seconds, has an 7km range, and has an 80 second reload time

U-69’s Submarine Surveillance is improved, with a much longer range of 9km. This aids her in detecting enemy submarines from further distances.

U-69, as a German submarine, gets access to the Reserve Battery Unit.

Gameplay:

U-69 is limited by only having homing torpedoes, but can still deal effective damage in any situation to any target. Players should use her speed and concealment to gain advantageous positions to utilize her homing torpedoes from range or close the distance and “shotgun” targets.

When pinging targets from range, it is important to utilize her ruddershift in order to dodge depth charges sent at the approximate locations of pings. Double pings will yield more hits, but exposes the submarine's approximate position from repeated pings. This playstyle can also yield less damage due to players using damage control on pings and dodging homing torpedoes by turning away. Once enemy ships are aware of a submarine's relative location, the submarine players' effectiveness shrinks, as the enemy ships will take evasive maneuvers to avoid taking massive torpedo damage. An alternative way is to fire torpedoes and not use pings, which keeps the submarines position relatively hidden and allows for surprise torpedo hits.

When closing distances to shotgun targets, players should primarily approach battleships and cruisers. Once at around 6km, players should dive to periscope depth and further close distance. Players should quickly launch all torpedoes before proximity detection (2km) and dive quickly to avoid detection. Players can also ping destroyers at close range as the homing shut off distance is short for destroyers (240m)

Against enemy submarines, her Submarine Surveillance consumable helps in spotting targets and her homing torpedoes can devastate unaware submarines. When fighting enemy subs, it is important to note that they can also use Submarine Surveillance to spot the player back, which can lead to unavoidable damage from depth charges.

Due to having much lower health and lower alpha strike, U-69 can be effective in a supporting playstyle, screening allies for torps, spotting destroyers/submarines, and forcing enemy ships to use their Damage Control Party. It is important to not get caught too deep in enemy lines by submarine surveillance or destroyers, as it can lead to a quick trip back to port.

U-69 is an entry level submarine, as her damage output is limited to homing torpedoes. She does not have many weaknesses that prevent her from being effective in most situations. Her biggest strengths are her low concealment and access to the Reserve Battery United consumable, which can aid in staying underwater to evade detection during shotgun attacks or when escaping detection range. The combination of her good maneuverability characteristics and low detection aids in the shotgunning playstyle. Players can find success in both long range homing torpedo attacks and shotgunning targets at close ranges.

Pros:

• Long-range homing torpedoes with fast sonar ping reload time
• Good dive capacity reserve
• Good concealment
• Access to the Reserve Battery Unit consumable

Cons:

• Low HP pool
• Slow sonar ping speed
• Non existent armor

U-69 was a German Type VIIC u-boat during World War II. Between February 1941 and her sinking two years later, she carried out 10 patrols and sank 17 ships and damaged 2 others.

Construction U-69 was laid down at the Germaniawerft in Kiel on 11 November 1939 and commissioned on 2 November 1940, joining 7.Flottille. After working up in the relative safety of the Baltic Sea she was deployed to the Atlantic in February 1941.

Service History

1st Patrol U-69 departed Kiel on 10 February 1941, passing through the North Sea and into the Atlantic. During her patrol she sank three merchant ships, was attacked by a Sunderland flying boat, and she was subjected to three hours of depth charge attacks from convoy escorts. She escaped without suffering any damage and docked at Lorient in France on 1 March.

2nd Patrol For her second patrol, U-69 departed from Lorient on 18 March 1941 heading for the waters south of Iceland. During this patrol she sank one merchant vessel and damaged another before docking in Lorient on 11 April.

3rd Patrol U-69’s third patrol was to West Africa, departing from Lorient on 5 May 1941. She laid mines in the waters off of Lagos and Takoradi, one of which would later sink a ship. During her patrol she sank 5 merchant ships, including the neutral American cargo ship SS Robin Moor. The sinking of the American ship and the aftermath caused a diplomatic incident between the USA and Germany. U-69 returned to France, docking at St. Nazaire on 8 July.

4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Patrols After her early successes, U-69 then experienced several unsuccessful patrols. For her 4th patrol, U-69 departed on 21 August and remained in the Bay of Biscay before returning to France on 27 August. She departed from St. Nazaire on 1 September for her 5th patrol and headed to an area South East of Greenland, docking back in France on 1 October. Her 6th patrol, between 20 October and 8 December was an uneventful voyage to the mid-Atlantic. On her 7th patrol she was subjected to a sustained depth charge attack by convoy escorts but was undamaged. The patrol took place between 18 January 1942 and 17 March.

8th Patrol U-69 departed from St. Nazaire on 12 April 1942, heading to the Caribbean in order to take advantage of the “Second Happy Time” in attacking poorly protected ships sailing near the USA. She sank five ships, including a tugboat and a sailing ship during her patrol. She docked in St. Nazaire on 25 June.

9th Patrol U-69 left France on 15 August for her next patrol. After a few days cruising near Norfolk, Virginia, she moved north to the area near the St Lawrence river. She sank two ships, including the ferry SS Caribou which sank with the loss of all on board. The sinking and loss of 137 lives so close to the Canadian people made news across North America and was used as a rallying cry for Victory Bond campaigns. U-69 docked in Lorient on 5 November.

10th Patrol

U-69 departed from Lorient for her final patrol on 2 January 1943, her patrol route took her past Greenland and into the North Atlantic. On 17 February 1943, while operating with wolf-pack Haudegen, U-69 was involved in a convoy attack. She was detected by HF/DF and radar and attacked by the convoy escorts. After being forced to the surface, U-69 was rammed and sunk by HMS Fame. The entire crew of U-69 were lost when the U-boat sank.
