Blade pitch on FFG is backwards

[SUBMAN1]

Not a big deal, but I was analyzing the blade on the FFG and noticed that the pitch is backwards! :D Seems to me, if that thing turned in the water as pictured, that FFG would be going real fast backwards, not forwards!

To check it out, pop on the FFG, put it at flank speed, and take a look at the prop!

Another thought just crossed my mind - If someone wants to tackle the prop graphics, maybe they should also address what a real Amaerican sub prop looks like - it has almost right angles to it. To make life easy, I think sub command had the proper sub props (but I can't remember). Maybe they can be borrowed? Anyway, these generic props that DW has look nothing like what 'real' sub props look like if you have ever seen one for real.

Maybe I shouldn't be saying this in a forum, but then again, if the Russkies don't already know what they look like, they should probably all be on vacation or something.

Shhh!

This is all part of a counterintelligence ruse!

From now on, all mistakes will be explained away as ruses...:rotfl:

Already in the bug list. The picture I used as a reference had the prop in negative pitch, and I didn't notice until it was pointed out on this board. (I spent too many years making WWII airplane models, and instinctively think every prop is a "tractor" propeller!) (grin)
