A critical issue

[Vanagen]

Gentlemen,


We all worry too much about historical accuracy, the casting of realistic shadows and other such tomfooleries, while ignoring the most pressing matters.

Today, I'd like to draw your attention to an oft overlooked yet quintessential aspect of submarine warfare.

Beards.

DO THEY GROW!?

[johan_d]

You missed the point, the critical issue is; do seagulls **** on the foredeck?

Been asking myself the same question lol. :D

Away with you, heathen!

Brothers, have faith, for excess of facial hair and visible lack of hygiene on thy crew cometh!

We must drive out these avian excremental usurpers and spread the true word of realism!

So say we all!



(actually, yes, we could do with some poop, too)

Haha!
As it happens, Ubi do answer questions on these "Critical issues".

They said they taught about it and will include growing beards if there is time to add it.

[razark]

Didn't they address that one in one of the Q&A posts?

I believe the response was "Sounds nice, might do it, not a priority"

Kind of like everything else...

[Vanagen]

How about they release what they have now, give the SDK to the GWX team and we wait patiently for GWX 5.0 to have a superb subsim?

Oh wait, that's exactly what's going to happen.

Well, mine did, but the hormone therapy seems to have put a stop to it.

*rolls eyes*

That critical issue is SO last half-hour.

The new criticial issue is whether or not your cook can catch and use the seagulls to make soup, or pie, or both.

I believe I also raised the question of whether or not it would be possible to mod a feature that caused a passing gull to **** on your WO's head on demand, although I'm willing to suspend my request if he'll just stop telling me "Schiff gesichte" every 1.6 seconds when we're pulling away from the docks in Wilhelmshaven.

"Scheisse gesichte"

[AVGWarhawk]

The beards do not grow but the game is furnished with a black and brown crayon. Simply focus your mouse on each crewmen in turn. Use the crayon of your choice and simply drew the beard on the LCD screen. Be creative! :yeah:

[MaciejK]

Beards will be added with the release of SH5 - Character Creator Kit, which is to be released soon before the game hits the shelves.

Players that preorder will get a special online code which would enable (via online activation) more colored beards for the crew, haircuts and possibility to import characters from their The Sims 3 game produced by a friendly company.

Also, do not forget the special armor tier which enhances the DEX and MANA of your boat.

Given the recent revelations, this is probably closer to reality than we'd all like to admit. :O:

"Scheisse gesichte"

:haha:

Well, at least it would be something different, as opposed to:


"Schiff gesichte!"
"Yes, I see it."
Schiff gesichte!"
"Right you are, my lad."
"Schiff gesichte!"
"I'm pretty sure that's the Tirpitz, 1WO. I've seen pictures."
"Schiff gesichte!"
"Yes, yes, I get it. There are lots of ships nearby. That's because we haven't left the harbour yet. They're our ships, 1WO. I'm not worried about them, provided you're not at the helm."

*short pause*

"Schiff gesichte!"
"Shut UP, Bernard!"


I've taken to sending him to his quarters until we're well out to sea since I like being on the bridge when we're leaving port and it's either that or throw him overboard.

Thank you Sir, I needed that laugh!

Er, that's "Ma'am" to you... "Ms. Jackson," if you're nasty.

But you're welcome anyway.:DL

LMFAO!:rock:

[scrapser]

Years back there was talk of developing a PC peripheral that would spray a "scent" that would add to immersion. I can only imagine what that would smell like for a sub sim. Phew!

Why, the sweet smell of victory; of course!

[iambecomelife]

In all seriousness, I suspect that beard growth may have made it in. During one of the trailers you notice the narrator/commander stroking his facial hair as he looks in the mirror. The obvious implication is that he's feeling a bit tired & scruffy from being out on patrol for so long. Far from proof, but perhaps a hint...

[frau kaleun]

In all seriousness

Although I have to say... a scruffy commander... uh... yeah... er, BRB. I need to go watch Das Boot again.

[Highbury]

Unless I see a video or screen of it then it is not in game. There is no rough seas, no seagulls, no torpedos, no conning tower emblems and no dang growin' beards!
:salute:

[frau kaleun]

But did you see a scruffy commander? I need corroboration on the scruffy commander issue before I make my final decision.

[karamazovnew]

Maybe seagulls drop their second-hand food only on the fully grown beards of the crew.

Something like this:

[frau kaleun]

That is not the scruffy commander I am looking for. MOVE ALONG.

:O:

[Sailor Steve]

I am shocked and appalled that you people are taking this serious issue so lightly!

It's the uniforms, man! they need to be clean and pressed when leaving port, and get more ragged and filled with soup stains as time goes on, and then out come the good ones when returning to port!

And if I don't get a fully functioning head I'm gonna plotz!

In the original trailer he (you) looks in a mirror at his beard. In the game? Who knows?

[frau kaleun]

Hmm. Commander in trailer appears to be suitably scruffy. However, jarring effect of him narrating in English almost ruins effect.

In conclusion:
"Tiefer, LI!" = dead sexy scruffy commander
"Deeper, dammit!" = eh, not so much

[Sailor Steve]

There was a German version out there.:sunny:

[frau kaleun]

WANT!

Where would it be, does Ubi have a German site?

Oh maybe I should just search google.de, there's a thought. BRB.






*fans self*

Oh yeah that's much more better.

maybe i should go to the Goethe Institut and learn german... you know... for the ladies.
I'm dead serious about it :shifty:. On a party i meat this girl, she was a WWI and WWII nut, i almost asked her to marry me on the spot.

[kptn_kaiserhof]

really shes not 90 yrs old is she???


born in 1903 or somthing???

[Sailor Steve]

*fans self*

Oh yeah that's much more better.
I looked all over here until I found the correct old thread, and the correct old link, only to find that they've now replaced it at UBI with the new English one.

I'm so glad you found it. And so easily too - it's right there at the top! It was good to hear it again.

[psykopatsak]

i want to drive an XXI with english voices and hear the tard say "torpedo in the water" a zilion times.

Yes, it was nice to hear it for the first time too!

Maybe it's because I only came to this genre through the "Das Boot" influence, but to see a bunch of guys in a u-boat and they're all speaking English... doesn't work for me.

The only time I want to hear it is when the commander is looking upward at his unseen opponent and saying "Not yet!"

:O:

[bgey]

On a party i meat this girl, ...

:o This does not bode well...
