Hey, thanks for the awesome photos and commentary. I laughed my ass off at that last one!

For post #152, no patch needed there as that is part of their history.........sadly.

Hi, I was wondering, could someone post some up close pics of the holes in the ship?
Thanks.

(my fist post, yay!:D)

Sounds like an expert opinion to me if you can tell the difference between 13 feet and 15 feet! :smug:

BTW, DUDES! Where are the screenies???!!! C'mon! Y'all can do better than this!

It's bad enough we still have to wait for days after paying for overnight shipping, blah, blah, blah, but throw us a bone! :D

Thanks,

Apparently you didnt read the rest of the thread before enlightening us with your comment. The discussion was the difference between feet and meters, not 13 ' or 15 '.

Actually Payoff, I did read the rest of this thread, the topic of which is "screenshots and videos", not "units of depth measurement", or "Bugs and fixes", or "Imperial or metric - Which is better?" which are properly addressed elsewhere.:hmm:

Be that as it may, my point was that the debate was 13 meters vs. 13 feet. Imperial versus Metric units. An apparent bug in the sim. 13 'meters' is the figure in the text box as reported by the crew. You then threw out the figure 15? feet, which I hope you will allow me "muddied the waters" somewhat.:yep: (pun intended). For this, I administered a well-deserved ribbing, (in good humor, I might add) as your post does seem to suggest that you can tell the difference between 13' and 15' even though that was clearly (another pun) not your intent.

All the same, I'll be sure to check with you next time before "enlightening anyone with my comments". :shifty:

A thick skin goes a long way on these fora.

Peace out,

I was wondering about that, I figured it was a little nod to Da Man (tm) but wasn't sure.

Has anyone found Mt Fuji or the volcanoes of rabaul?

Better than anything UBI put out. Drool soaks the carpet and runs down the front porch.

<edited by Drebbel: Please do not quote screenshots. Describe them or refer to the post number. That will keep this thread much more readable. Thank you all>

I must tell you....that is an insane looking shot. :)

Some interesting screenies from The Onkel at SH4: The start of a career

Pit 03-20-07 04:22 AM

So far I am impressed with what I am seeing in the screenies posted... I am rather starting to drool as well!!! :sunny: ... except for the fact that the map measurements are in KILOMETERS!!!!:down: Booooo Booooo!!!! US nautical maps are NOT in kilometers... and I am pretty certain they weren't in WWII either!!!! :oops: :damn:

Oh well... rather minor... but kind of irritating... :lol:

If you did read the discussion then you must have seen that I was responding to this post.

I was using his 5 meter analogy in my response and rounded to 15 feet to keep it simple. The point being that the depth appeared to be closer to 13 feet than 13 meters. As far as the thick skin: It seems there are a handful of folks that just scan a few lines of a post looking for flaws or imperfections just to slam somebody. Not to suggest that you would do this. As you have so gracefully pointed out, in the future I will be sure to post in the "proper" thread "units of depth measurement".

Good one, flint:rotfl:.

castorp345 03-20-07 07:12 AM

interestingly, while everything else is in metric, the main depth gauges in the control room (in the s-class at least, haven't really checked the others) are in imperial and are functional...
:doh:

They fought their way thru the flames and smoke, struggled to climb aboard the lifeboat, lower it to the water with bullets flying everywhere and their own ship´s wake flips them over and they drown.... Priceless. For everything else, there´s Mastercard.
