Are you even serious?

Hey, I suggest you go load up Red Storm Rising, Wolfpack, SWOTL or Ace of Aces. Nice VGA/EGA graphics for you. No blurry watery graphic effects to worry about!

God.

Saddle down..

I really like SH-IV..
The only thing I don't like is this water droplets when you surface..

It's not a bug it's a feature.

Yeah, here's what you do: when you surface, close your eyes and count to 3.... works every time ;)

Wish there was a camera on the conning tower like in the films. Those were dad's favorite shots in the movies.

I agree 100%, it should be toggle-able since for many people, including myself, that effect gets old very fast.

...Yes it's a feature...it's there to make things more real.

Try aiming at a cruiser with the blurry water effect in monsoon type waters...you only get a few times to see your target...it makes you appreciate those little times...

..plus I think it's cool, haven't gotten sick of SH4 yet. Still going strong...well...almost...was going good with my patrols...then I got sunk by every sub commanders nemesis...

a Destroyer...bah...and I was doing so well too...

I agree. And I want some other effects to be toggle-able too !

- Metal sinks in water
- Bullets kill people
- My diesel tank gets empty

Only after the dev-team has made those changes I will play SH4 again :arrgh!:

i think there seems to be some aggrevation about this question. Settle down guys, it was a question about the blurry effect as you come out the water on external cam mode. This mode is not sim, i.e periscope water - we can understand that. Personally I thought it was my graphics card until I changed it and found it wasn't. Just a strange feature to add imo. Not game breaking, just strange. But its still an opinion, no need to flame:nope:

It was a friendly question! Why is there a need to punch?

Totally agree ; What is this strange hanger that i can see here :hmm: Some should breath, and take it easy :-? We are not in war against each others. Are we not a few fellows who speak about same great hobby ?

I agree too with this effect ; Nice on périscope, but anoying in external view.

The water effect on the periscope is fine, but on external views and movie mode it's rather annoying. Especially using movie mode on a torpedo since the camera likes to move around above and below water.

Thanks.. It was just a question (about a non realistic graphic) ..
For the record.. I love the graphic on the periscope !

OMG. This forum is going hostile over nothing. Again.

I agree, by the way, the water effect when you surface with freecam is annoying, but its probably easy to mod away:up:.

I wasn't trying to be hostile, however I can see how people might think that...

periscope water blurring = awesome

external camera water blurring = Not as awesome...but should be a selectable feature in the graphics options. However I can see how it can be used pretty well in SH4 fan movies...

I hate to say it, but this is one of the most petty things to complain about. :roll:

I agree. Those droplets on camera should disappear. That camera is godlike, is not part of the sim. Therefore, the normal physics do not apply. Why should it be affected by water ?

I just hope that the dev team will not listen to your complaint. I love that feature. Take a bath, put your head in the water and submerge...if you can see properly in the next 3-4 sec, they should remove it. If not, it's part of the simulation.

If they agree with your complaint, i just hope that they will add an off-on option for it so i can still have it.

But between you and me guys, if i had to choose between the chrono bug and that blurry effect to be fix, i would choose the chrono...what do you think?

There's a lot to be fix right now so i wouldn't other about those small details right now. Like a sage guy said previously, close your eyes when you're submerging and that will do the trick...for now...:D

I agree, it gets irritating after a bit. I can live with it, though. I live with a lot of irritating things in my life, this is just one more. But this "feature" is more pretentious than immersive and is little more than graphics candy.

It's okay for the periscope lens, though. :up:

I love that feature, feels like you're behind a real camera coming out of the water, cool :)

Then, let's pray for an option to turn it off and on.

What I want is a tweak file for camera.dat, so we can have our own preferences for periscopes, binoculars, TBD, external cam, stations, etc. I have visual challenges and I really miss the ability to tweak my own camera.

I particularily hate the initial range on the < > locked on ship external views. I am forced to immediately press Shift up Arrow so I can actually see the ship in any detail.

The low ceiling on the external free camera is another camera.dat irritation.
