Watch crew washed overboard ...

[von Kinderei]

This was brought up in another thread and I for one would like to see it IF AT ALL POSSIBLE ...


IF ya have a watch crew up on deck and in heavy seas WOULD it be possible that a RANDOM chance would occure that they MAY be washed overboard either 1 or 2 or even all based on their fatigue level or something ... that would mean that ya would have to keep a close eye on them to make sure that wouldn't happen

You guys are the moders ... is it possible for realism purposes :hmm:

Not sure if it would work. Judging by the amount of heavy seas I encounter, I'd be spending too much time cycling the F4, F7 or F12 keys just to see if they haven't turned into bait.

I suspect that area is hard-coded

[von Kinderei]

I just figured that maybe a small random event trigger or something at a small level ...

I mean if ya have the crew on deck when ya dive they disappear just like the flag mod Racerboy made ...

I have no idea what I'm talkin' about BUT I think it would be cool ... :rock:

They do get tired faster (the whole crew actually since the boat swings wildly)
Now, they never get washed away, you realize about this when you need to surface to recharge batteries and you see the waves "sinking" your boat several meters, and amaze yourself seeing the watch crew heroically standing still, without even holding themselves or holding their breath, just watching away with their binos, wondering why the horizon suddenly dissapeared.
It would be great if you had the possibility of running surfaced without a watch crew, since you need to recharge every so often, and decks awash is not an option on heavy seas.
