I've been having a muck about with a SubRon 50 career and I've noticed something interesting.

When you send a message, or receive one, instead of co-ords, you get a Kreigsmarine grid ref.:o

Looks like the Devs left something in from SH3.:hmm:

I'm thinking it may well be hard coded, unless someone more knowledgable with the file structure might be able to override it?

An atlantic career could well be the US equivalent of the Monsun boats.:up:

yes its hardcoded. Legacy code from Sh3. I surmise that nothing has really changed when Sh4 was in development aside from the removal of the grid overlay on the map. Even in SH3, it gave coordinates in lat/long when outside the atlantic KM grid. Since were normaly in the pacific, we wouldnt know otherwise tell some yahoo mucked about in the other ocean :roll:


BTW, find ships to sink yet? :rotfl:

Yep - small convoy in the North Sea, and I promptly got myself sunk by the escort!

Doh!:oops:
