HarHar... nice joke... but why Ubi didn't have done like they had promised ?:rotfl:

Did someone else found other eggs ?

Way necro, but this is a sticky.

Anyway, that's talking about Herr Oesten, the guy they got to help design SH III. You can see some of the videos with him here:

I'm new SH4 player and I'm coming from playing Dangerous Water RA mod, thus I'm still learning where all the button, knob, valve in this game.

Is this vessel (picture bellow) also another easter eggs? I've encounter this vessel in grid QC 718. All the shell I've shot went straight trough, the vessel do keep firing her starboard canons thus I approached her from the port

It's the Flying Dutchman.
You find it in Luzon Straits now & then.
That sailboat can outrun you.

Even against the wind? The Black Pearl could easily outrun her if it's against the wind

Anyway, does her canons still bite?

Flying Dutchman doesn't need wind.
I've never been fired on by the Dutchman.

Pretty sure that they were referring to
Friedrich Guggenberger. Not only was he a U-Boat captain and a twice escaped POW, he went on to attend the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, and became the Deputy Chief of Staff in the NATO command AFNORTH

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Guggenberger

There's even a short you-tube video about him
