Another great model, but because there are so many of them it must be easy to miss certain things. She is missing the fins on her main armament and her range finders seem to be those fo teh King George the V's

There might be one small graphical issue as well. Issue is not the right word, but the only one that comes to mind at this time. On this ship, the Nelson, and others, the ladders to embark and disembark crews are in the down position. In my LIMITED naval experience, you don't want those down unless you are using them. They are not stable in heavy seas. Not a big deal for me, just happened to notice it. Oh knows, maybe the devs spent some time and they actually go up and down?:haha:

The picture you posted is from '45, and the game ends in '43. Maybe it has something to do with that? (I doubt it, but still - IIRC I did see some Iowa turrets without those fins)

It's not only from '95... it's the 'USS Washington underway in Puget Sound'.

God you lot can be so pedantic, HERE is a pic of her on her shakedown cruise in 1941 (August, sorry i dont have exact day and time for you), as you can see the fins (whatever they are) and the rangefinders are different
