Strangest and most unbelievable thing to be posted in the SH5 forum to date :huh:
Is this the end of things as we know it :hmmm:

[XXi]

For an Easter Egg this one is just awesome :har:

[Dowly]

Goddammit... :nope:

[kapitan_zur_see]

Was already into SH4, not really an easter egg, but an interesting and flattering omission, shall we say :cool:

It's a dds file, of apparent no use in the game... For people who likes to mod and rummages through the files, you may have crossed it already. It's called cana.dds and is located in the data/textures/tnormal/tex

have a look...

:D:D:D

[Dowly]

There's craploads of left over files from SH3 and SH4 in there. Stevens clock is there too. :03:

[kapitan_zur_see]

yeah... they rushes those games so hard, they don't even have a spare day to do some "housework"... :shifty:
On the second hand, it sometimes comes in handy when modding so, well, whatever i guess

In the sub pen about halfway down is a guard without a rifle,
he is bent over the rail looking at something, then looks around worried, then looks back down.

I wonder if he had dropped his rifle in the water ?

Was it a French port? :har:

I said " he dropped it in to the water "

not " he threw it into the water "

Englishmen and the french have been haggling for centuries, but I really cant understand why americans make fun of the french. I mean, France made not so small an effort agains the english during the american revolution and played a part in the american winning. Yet, americans look down on them. Am I wrong?

Yes and no. It started in 2003 when they opposed us on the Iraq invasion. It also goes back to the supposed French attitude of superiority in everything. But mostly it's just fun to have someone to make jokes about. It's stupid, but mostly harmless.

It probably has to do with the failure of the French in military operations. The French, after the Germans invaded their country, decided to surrender. The Americans, on the other hand, kept on fighting. (Yeah, there was that whole French resistance thing, but really. Us Americans were using B-17s and B-24s to bomb Germany. The resistance only took out train tracks and stuff like that. Sheesh) After World War II, the French went on to lose a war to the Vietnamese. Again, not something the Americans would ever do. Before World War II, there was that little thing in 1918. The one where the French mucked around and never got anything done until the Americans decided to get involved and managed to finish things up in no time.

So, basically, it's a few accidents of fate that caused Americans to develop a stereotype. Besides, if you ask most Americans what the French had to do with the American Revolution, you'll get blank looks. People don't know their history.

It started in 2003 when they opposed us on the Iraq invasion.

That has a lot to do with the current anti-French attitude, but it didn't really start then. It's been going on for a while.

Sailor Steve's post #21 pretty much covered your question.

My answer is: No your not wrong.

YES!!! We love your French Fries. :D

[frau kaleun]

YES!!! We love your French Fries. :D

They're not Freedom Fries any more? I didn't get the updated memo.

Oh well. I sorta ignored the first one anyway.

[gutted]

As for the french in the american revolution.. they weren't too keen to help out until they saw that we could win it.

Naturally anyone that would stick it to the english, the french wanted to be apart of... but they wanted to make sure it was going to be favorable first.

[Nisgeis]

So, I'm confused... the American revolution is a mini game you can play as an Easter egg in SH5 to run the blockade? This is the Easter Egg thread after all :DL.

Oh and by the way, when one is referring to a country or nationality, one should always start the word with a capital letter, as in 'German', 'Germany', 'America', 'Spanish' etcetera. To do otherwise would show great disrespect. I learnt this valuable lesson from the french.

[Noren]

Politics aside, when I was in Belgium there the people told me that
they invented the deep-fried potatostrips - later they french made it
their own.

If you ask me, the french tipped the balance during the american revolution
and in a way gave the struggling colonists of america hope when they faced the tough redshirts - here I primary thing of french fleet units who kept the english at bay (not going into details here but there was also french regular line regiments). They whole thing later backfired when France, having gotten a bad peaceresolution and broke by constant war with Britain, got the taste of freedom from USA and revolted.

When I think of France I think of: nice baguettes, nice women, nice sauces, arrogant and cocky people (perhaps because they used to be an empire?) and funny dished (snails, cowtounge wrapped in its headskin, brain, froglegs etc but Im sure its better than fastfood?!?).

ww1 would have been dragging on for much longer, had USA not entered but you must remember that the germans also were at a breakingpoint - having fought for many years and millions of dead soldiers (the death of a generation).

ww2 France was cought of guard by the rapidly expanding military machine, german broke the ww1 resolution and it was accepted (the allies tried the approach to trust Hitler, bad move as it seemed) and had it not been for USA - perhaps we would all be speaking german today (russia is a wildcard though).

Yes, the french lost in indo-china - but so did USA in Vietnam some years later. UN fought in Korea and it could have gotten very bloody but Russia kept the Chinese partly at bay (North korea was ultimately left on its own by the communist regimes). Read about General MacArthur, he became an american hero for sure after the Phillipines in ww2, but he later wanted to nuke and attack China etc, not even listening to President Truman and he was force to resign. Long story short: americans can also be arrogant, not just the french.

Sorry for the of topic folks - Im just feeling social today. Im just a swede with interest in history. By the way, not all our girls here are called Inga or are blond :D

Comments are welcome, everything kan be researched online.

[razark]

Long story short: americans can also be arrogant, not just the french.

Most Americans get their military history from Hollywood. That means that every war that America has fought in, we won. By ourselves.

Oh, sure, there may have been a few other countries, but they don't Really count. The French and British were just there to give the Germans something to do until the US showed up in WWI. The British also kept the Germans entertained for a bit while we were getting ourselves ready to come over there and rescue everybody in Europe. (I think I heard that the Russians had some little border skirmish with the Germans, but I'm not sure about that.) I mean, we're America. We single-handedly cleaned up the Germans in Europe, while also taking care of the Japanese in the Pacific. As for Korea, I think there might have been a few other countries involved, but they never made it into our movies, so once again, they don't count.

(Yes, I'm being sarcastic, and wishing more people would turn off the TV and read a book.)

[frau kaleun]

I remember at some point, when I was still quite young, being suprised to find out that WWII didn't start when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

My father always said that he'd never forget the day he arrived in the town where he settled down as a young man (and where I was born many years later). The first thing he did when he got off the train was buy a newspaper. The headline said "HITLER INVADES POLAND." Not the kind of thing you're likely to forget!

Of course I knew who Hitler was and about the "war in Europe" and knew what "D-Day" was. But I was taken aback when I realized that the newspaper headline he was talking about was from Sep 1939, lol. It just never occurred to me that there had been much of a war going on until the USA was in it - because the emphasis from popular media was always on the part of the war the USA fought, and that's it. This was before I was far enough along in school to have been taught about such things in history class, but TBH I don't think they did much better there. At least it got mentioned, but sadly we never seemed to have enough time to get as in-depth about anything as I would have liked. That I always just did on my own.

[karamazovnew]

I think it started with this:

http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/text/victories.html

Then there's the whole WW2 capitulation in 1940, which pissed off most brits, although many forget that it was the valiant sacrifice of the French army that allowed for the evacuation of the Expeditionary Force at Dunkirk. Also most forget that it was the French who were the most successful and feared soldiers in WW1. And then there's the Foreign Legion which make the Seals look like paintball players.

But hey, even I make friendly fun of them. Here's one for you:

Doenitz and Ho Chi Min walk into a french bar.
The barman takes a look at them and says: "I surrender!"

The Foreign Legion does not make the SEALS look like paintball players, that is ridiculous in the extreme. No one makes the SEALS look like paintball players!

[Sgtmonkeynads]

+1 sort of, I know a Seal that would beg to differ.

But historicaly thier not %100 French.:haha:
France pretty much hired mercenaries from other countries and gave their convicts the option to join as long as they would leave the country, and called it the Foreign Legion.

But yes, they are hardcore.

And remember that Japan had actually been at war since June 1937 so the Pacific Theatre actaully started then. Depending on whether you count Hitler's annexations of Austria and Czechoslovakia as undeclared hostilities the European Theatre actually started in March 1938, whilst the African Theatre kicked off as early as 1934 with the Italian invasion of the Ethopian Empire.

It would depend on the era of the FFL you are comparing today's seals against. The bad old days of African and Middle Eastern Occupations prior to WWII was a tough as it comes in terms of living conditions. Todays SEALS get it relatively easy by comparison. Try reading With the Foreign Legion in Syria by John Harvey to see why. No firkkin ice cream machines for those boys.

[Davewave]

why are we looking for hidden features when the current ones aren't even complete? Just saying...

[rcjonessnp175]

Wow you guys do watch to much movies if you think the seals are our elite of the elite. I fully agree that us americans have a very single minded view point of history, but thats history its written by the winners, and to be honest it was Russia who won world war two, they defeated germany period.:salute:

[nvrsummer2]

Sorry but, id be pretty PO'd if they took the time to add easter eggs when that time cold have been obviously spent elsewhere.

[Sgtmonkeynads]

Maybe if we start looking realy, realy hard all over ,
we will find the rest of the game.:shifty:

[Noren]

I bet we could call some bugs easter eggs if we wake up on the optimistic side of the bed. Perhaps the cook will serve up oister eggs by 1 of April, which he hatches on the sunny side of the hull.

Nah, I would be a bit angry to find easter eggs while we have this many bugs from the get-go, but it'll put a brief smile on my I guess.

Btw: the french foreign legion relies on beatings to force discipline, partly because the raw recruits in some sence consists of the scum of the earth (often foreign outcasts and small time criminals) and partly because they do not even speak french at the get go. Many consider it THE test of manlyhood.

Perhaps we should delete all non-easter-comments, historical and such.

[Nordmann]

It was a team effort, by all concerned. If Britain had not held out, there would have been no way for the Americans to enter the ETO. Without this threat from the West, Hitler would have been able to divert the rest of his forces East, against the Russians. If this had happened, it may have resulted in a Soviet defeat, and then history would be very, very different.

[Juliano]

As I´ve been reading lately, I saw a post saying that there are many crap left from the previous games in SH5 (so much for house cleaning :stare:)
Maybe the ghost ship is in SH5 as well? :hmmm:

Id love to sail with my "dynamic fully modeled chaty homesick crew" and suddenly:

watchcrew 1 - Ship spotted sir!
WO - Where?!? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...........??????????
Me - WHOOT?!? WTF is that?!?
Bernard - Not my fault her Kaleun! I swear!!!

[Amiral Crapaud]

Hum you know actually everyone in France do give credit to the Belgians for the fries. It's one of their stereotypical meals. The French have no idea whatsoever of the reason why the English-speaking world would give them credit for fries (just like "French toast" isn't especially French), although as far as I remember, the "French" in "French fries" may come from some old English that got mistreated along the years.

[Amiral Crapaud]

(Yes, I'm being sarcastic, and wishing more people would turn off the TV and read a book.)

Well I guess it all depends on the kind of TV you have at your disposal. Being French, my advice to my fellow citizens wouldn't be "turn off the TV", but rather "stop watching the wrong channel and check channel 5 for anglo-american documentaries in the daytime and French-German cultural channel in the evening, dumbass!". Well, it's not like if we had more than 6 channels, dammit! :damn:

[Kresge]

Looks like Neal needs to start a new Easter Egg thread to sticky :O:

[frau kaleun]

Maybe the complete features are the Easter Eggs.

They'll just be patched in on April 4th.

[Elder-Pirate]

Looks like Neal needs to start a new Easter Egg thread to sticky :O:


I'm hoping he just cleans it up, maybe even delete the entire thread as no Easter Eggs have been found but the French seem to be the main topic.

Yes I'm just as guilty as I was the first poster ( after Neal ) and wise cracked with the plate of Easter Eggs. Still this thread is a mess. :arrgh!:

[Wreford-Brown]

But if he cleans up the thread how are we going to continue bashing the French?

That's the sort of thing that gets put out as historical way too often.

[seaniam81]

You know it's really funny because we make fun of the french in my country too. Mind you a lot of that has to do with Quebec wanting to runaway to be their own country.

[Oberon]

Without this threat from the West, Hitler would have been able to divert the rest of his forces East, against the Russians. If this had happened, it may have resulted in a Soviet defeat, and then history would be very, very different.

Bingo, that's the key to it.
One mustn't always underestimate the French though, their soldiers fought valiantly against the Germans but were somewhat let down by their leaders and outdated tactics, Reynaud pretty much gave up after the breakthrough at Sedan. If the French and BEF forces had withdrawn south immediately after the breakthrough then it would have been possible to set up a new defence line on the border between France and Belgium and hold off the German advance for longer than the historical event. Unfortunately, a combination of the surprise of the breakthrough and poor communications (or in Billottes case, a complete lack of communication) meant that the window of opportunity closed before the BEF and French forces were able to act and by the 19th May the dash to the coast began, Abbeville was taken and the BEF, French and Belgian forces isolated in what would become the Dunkirk pocket.

BTW, hello to a fellow Anglian :salute: :yeah:

[ReFaN]

Why does Nike like the French Army?


Because, in war time, they are the biggest buyers of running shoes.

[lynx]

I cannot agree in which it is said in this thread about the French and the action of his I exercise in the IIWW. in the first place I mean that the problem of France was not the value of its soldiers but the political cupola (Dadalier, Reynaud, Mandel) and military cupola (Gamelin, Weygand, Pétain etc) the government was a disaster, the Generals were old woman controls installed in the static war (Maginot Line), across it faces have a Rommel, Guderian etc, anything that to do; French, Belgians, Poles, English, and Canadian went to would bathe in Dunkirk. On the extrangera, serious Legion French interesting to know it before to speak; not only delinquent they are listed, are welded of elite, first in entering into combat. Here in Spain also we have Legion and are valiant soldiers who they are deserved all our respect, its motto is:" we are fiances of the death"
greetings

Funny comment coming from someone whose country decided to adopt a French as a ruler. I suppose you must be a good bunch of track & field champions up there too, is it so?

[Noren]

Thats true, our line of kings come from a mediocre french general. Napoleon gav his go-ahead to Bernadotte becoming the new swedish king on the condition that he would'nt ever start war with france. Bernadotte said a diplomatic version of "up yours" and later did. But he's not our ruler, more like advertisement and a link with history :woot:

There are many english myths about france, manly I think because they historically always was there main adversary and england won. But there was
a time when napolenons armies were unstoppable and all of europe had to
confront france to stop him, kinda like hitler a bit - without the sinister stuf.
...and napoleon was not short by comparison to the general public - thats another english propaganda-myth.

[Wreford-Brown]

Napoleon was unstoppable by a single nation, which is why a great number of European nations banded together to defeat him, but we are talking about just under 200 years ago.

If you think the Brits are rude about the French you should hear what we say about the Italians!

[ReFaN]

only reason why Napoleon was so sucsesfull was because he was not a real frenchmen, he was Corsican!

[Noren]

On the matter of the french, looking at www.subsim.com (http://www.subsim.com) I had a laugh today and I actually belived it for a second. But then :

English-speaking newsagencies could'nt let France take all the glory, that might even earn them some respect haha.
Vive la france. As the post said said:
"they are kicking ass and taking names" :yeah:

[CV43]

I remember when the french would not let us fly through their airspace to do an airstrike on Libya and Momar Kadafi. Also as an American, if it wasn’t for the french back in the revolutionary war we would all be speaking English today. Oh wait! We speak English anyway. :O:

Look up French Military Victories on Google and then hit the "feeling lucky" button.....(Just keep the French away from it though. It is a bit insulting...).

[CaptainHaplo]

A friend of mine has SH5 and I was looking at it a little while ago. I will not give my opinion on it because I haven't played it.

However - I think I found an easter egg of sorts. Perhaps someone can confirm what I think I saw.

On a loading screen (I think he was loading initially) it gave him a transition screen that had two subs in it. The one in the foreground looked to be a VII, but the one in tha back - or "beside" the other sub - was longer and the conning tower was shaped identically to the XXI in SH3. So technically speaking - a Type XXI was spotted "in" SH5. Can someone who has the game and thus sees the screens confirm this?

I am trying to get him to let me play it some this weekend. He wants a couple of mods so I may trade some game time for making them - because I have to be able to use his game to test them, right! :yeah:

Yea it definately is a XXI next to it in the picture, all I'm gonna say about this game is that its gonna take a miracle from the subsim guys to make it better. It would be sweet if they fixed it enough to run like the previous ones, and add boats in like SH4s U-boat missions did.

Sorry to continue the derail but this is too much fun.

The French Ministry of Defense this morning announced that a French Navy destroyer, the FS Ouragan (Hurricane), surrendered to Somali pirates after a small outboard motor powered speed boat came alongside and fired a pistol towards the command bridge.

The Royal Navy are still hanging their heads in shame after they surrendered to an Iranian gunboat:

They surrendered in the Gulf while the other armed forces were conducting some heavy fighting in Afghanistan - the Army and RAF just won't let them forget it.

I already posted that story, actually on the same side.
The true story is far mor glorious, as the french are most successful
anti-pirate navy in the region. Others are just envious.

[Nordmann]

They're the most successful because they don't give a damn about sinking the buggers, unlike the Royal Navy, which appears to care more about the rights of the pirates. Unfortunately, this is what 'tolerance' gets you!

Hmmm......maybe the pictures of Easter eggs will start showing up around Easter.

Thanks for the confirm ChillAxed - and welcome aboard as well!!

WOO HOO - first easter egg - and I found it before easter too - without even having the game!!!!

Wow, I guess this thread wasn't a complete failure after all. Nice spot. Not that anyone else will care...

Sorry for interrupting the anti-French spam with some random on topic post :DL.

[Yak]

Maybe the easter eggs will the be compensation DLC? :har:

[Bosje]

anyone mention Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys yet?

i think that was the phrase

picking on the french is a lot of fun and i'm no stranger to the effort, but few people know that the french are the ones who won most of their fights, ever

it's just that they lost a couple famous ones
(crecy, poitiers, agincourt, waterloo, trafalgar, vietnam, WW2, etc)
in between those, they won pretty much every fight they fought

unlike the english who lost most fights but won the few famous (and decisive) ones
I'm dutch and we learn all about our navy kicking the english one around on lots of occasions (De Ruyter sailing up the Chatham and all that) and then finally losing naval supremacy in the long run, which is no surprise for a tiny country and which is seen as logical rather than shameful
The English don't really learn about that, all they learn is that there were a bunch of fights with the Dutch and that the English won it in the end

interesting no?

anywho, anyone found any easter eggs yet?

The Royal Navy are still hanging their heads in shame after they surrendered to an Iranian gunboat:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/03/britain_must_respond_firmly_to.html

They surrendered in the Gulf while the other armed forces were conducting some heavy fighting in Afghanistan - the Army and RAF just won't let them forget it.

the problem is the British rules of engagement. he did the right thing. attacking would have risked full out war with iran. if they're crazy enough to kidnap sailors they're crazy enough to go to war over that.

[lorka42]

It would depend on the era of the FFL you are comparing today's seals against. The bad old days of African and Middle Eastern Occupations prior to WWII was a tough as it comes in terms of living conditions. Todays SEALS get it relatively easy by comparison. Try reading With the Foreign Legion in Syria by John Harvey to see why. No firkkin ice cream machines for those boys.

The u-boat is haunted!

If you man the guns, the crew members in the bunk bed will jump out of bed and ... disappear! I think it works for a sub game, because you want it to have that depressing Ingrid Bergman vibe.

Not sure if this can be classed as an easter egg or not...

Was ordered to return to base having not completed the "Total Germany" campaign. Went to see the officer to get my new orders, whereapon he says to me "The situation has got worse Bernard"

I did chuckle:D

Ok back to your French baiting - sorry to have taken the thread off topic:hmmm:

[Madox58]

In SH4, there were names of members here at SubSim
coded into the SH4.exe.

I was told by Dan (and tested it, it worked!) that the coffee cup would change images in the office.

Those same names are in the SH5.exe
So is there an Easter Egg like that still hideing?
:hmmm:
I can not play the Game to test this as yet!

[Sailor Steve]

In SH4 Gold there were several subsimmers' names in the credits as well.

And some people say they don't care about us. :nope:


While rummaging through the code, I noticed a Frigate of the class "What is this?!".

Might be leftover Flying Dutchman bits, or maybe it's simply in there again. At any rate, be on the lookout for a mystery ship. :)

I saw it once (not in SH5) was a great moment like winning the lotto.

[MasterLu]

Frankly I don't think the French surrendering counts as an easter egg.

This probably isn't an easter egg but I sunk a British submarine west of the Shetlands. Didn't know you could do that :D

[Sgtmonkeynads]

Frankly I don't think the French surrendering counts as an easter egg.

Yeah, it's not considered rare.:D:har:

SORRY !!! I couldn't let that one slip by.

As the person that sort of started the ENTIRE French thing, may I ask that we get back to Easter Eggs only.

[floundericiousWA]

I remember when the french would not let us fly through their airspace to do an airstrike on Libya and Momar Kadafi. Also as an American, if it wasn’t for the french back in the revolutionary war we would all be speaking English today. Oh wait! We speak English anyway. :O:


They only helped us because it gave them an excuse to poke the british in the eye and they thought that they would annex us within a decade or two.

[Noren]

...because they wanted to annex USA later? Enough of the french talk now and on to merry easter eggs but I want prof of that. Sounds like yankee were-the-best-in-the-world-talk.

[Sailor Steve]

...and they thought that they would annex us within a decade or two.
Yeah, I'd like to see documentation on that too.

Early in our newfound national identity there was a very strong love for all things French, perhaps too strong in a couple of cases. On the other hand there was a distrust of the new French government after their revolution, which led to some entertaining battles within President Washington's cabinet. But the people on the spot, especially Thomas Paine, who actually became a member of the French parliament, reported no such talk.

[mookiemookie]

I have an actual easter egg here. I'm on my first patrol out of Lorient and I was talking to my XO. He said he had something he needed to tell me. Kurt, the torpedo maat, was planning on modifying torpedoes to use as floating mines. This is exactly how some of our modders rigged up a makeshift minelaying mod for SH3. I think it was a wink and a nod to them.

I noticed that after you finish talking to Hackl while facing Central the Boson will reach around the hatch way and setal some food from the bowl on the counter. Hackl reacts negatively.

Any other interactions like this been noticed?

It is a pity that SH5 doesn't have any Sub with nukes (ballistic missiles)... coz that would be an easy target... just for practice of course! :DL

[mcarlsonus]

Would Dieter in a good, cooperative mood be considered an, "Easter Egg?" Also - noted on the, "Flying Dutchman." Having seen her a couple times in the Pacific, I was hoping for a return visit!

Well sort of.
:yep:

Check out the guns for Italian ships in SH5.
Then check my Guns for Italian ships in GWX 3.
:hmmm:
Not a direct copy but did I influence those Guns in SH5?
:DL
I'll think I did so don't tell me different!
:haha:
Nice work Devs!
:yeah:

[blaidd llwyd]

In light of recent events, preserve impartiality, should they be called easter eggs ?

Political Correctness would have them changed to:

Incubatory Protective Shells of no particular colour or creed with no politcal or religious affiliation whatsoever.

'shells' can be changed to avoid offending groups like PETA, Justice For Crabs, the Prawn Liberation Organisation (PLO) and the Crayfish Revolutionary Associated Press (CRAP)

There's a few Easter Eggs not found yet because the
parts that control them don't work.

I wonder at this point,
if makeing a list of what does work would be shorter then the
list of what don't work!

I know this was posted months ago, but in what game did they include the Flying Dutchman? Was it an actual masted frigate? If that's the case I'm going to have to throw on unlimited fuel and sail around the South Pacific looking for R'lyeh.

It was in SH4, and yes, it's a large, masted sailing ship of some sort. I've played for over a year and never seen it, but I've seen the videos on youtube, and people in the SH4 forums have posted pictures and stories about encountering it.

[Karasunx]

That's still a very cool encounter. I watched the videos on youtube and it would be awesome and unsettling to run into it in SH5, if it's there at all.

For others who might be curious, below is the video link:
