Snow on the Ground in San Diego

[JALU3]

So I took a tiger cruise up to San Diego, for the heck of it, on my boat, and slipped past Coronado (which appears to be modelled on current maps (http://www.nbc.navy.mil/images%5Csd_nasni_map.jpg), not the pre filled Coronado (http://www.nbc.navy.mil/index.asp?fuseaction=NBCInstallations.NASNI)which would have greeted the Sailors back in 1942 (http://www.sandiegohistory.org/timeline/images/spanishbight.jpg)) . . . and I look to my port side, and there was Fort Roscrans (http://www.militarymuseum.org/FtRosecrans.html), all decked in snow . . . does anyone have an answer for this? Is this something that should be brought up for the new patch . . . or is it only a minor thing?

I think stuff like this are best left untouched. From your description it seems like a cosmetic innacuracy rather than a game breaking bug. I can most certainly live with it since I have no clue as to how Coronado would look today, much less during WW2. :)

Like I said, it was a tiger cruise, that I wanted to test out my boat prior to bring her teeth to bear . . . the time didn't count though as I experienced a CTD on my way up to San Francisco. I have lived in both cities, so I wanted to see how accurate it was.

I haven't made it to San Francisco yet though, as I have now continued with the regular patrols.

But I was able to get up to San Diego in good time, when I did, and coming from the South South West, it was pretty accurate as far as the land masses looked, until I got past the break jutting out of North Island. Fort Roscrans' batteries were missing, as was the lighthouse (http://www.sandiegohistory.org/books/millslandmarks/images/13825.jpg) atop the peninsula. Hotel Del Coronado (http://www.sandiegohistory.org/journal/2002-1/images/pg05.jpg) wasn't present, nor was Hotel Cortez.

Oh well . . .

Shouldn't be . . . and lets not make this thread political . . . because the Spanish Blight which I talked about, was filled in during the mid-1940's So it was present then, but is not present now . . . and so it would be the opposite of global warming . . . as that assumes that water will rise, and create less land mass, not more as is in this situation.
