Still... with freighters theres obviously a massive difference between laden and empty. Looks like a couple of meters on this one...

Seen pictures of Jahre Viking loaded and empty? Its like 10 meters difference :88)

So, the diff is consistent

I'll have a check that file when I get home this evening but I did run a search for files containing the string "40.7" in the sea folder without any real luck came back with partial matches for two entries but both were 240.7 (length I seem to recall of something) :hmm:

I noticed this too, thinking the draft was noted as 40.7m, but I looked closely and *think* that the previous line of writing is overlapping the number slightly, making the 1 look like a 4.

Is it to do with screen resolution? I run 1024 x 768 (small 15" monitor). I'm willing to bet that everyone with the problem is running the same, whereas those with larger screens won't notice.

I took a good look last night at it and I think your right.... i took a screen capture and will enlarge the image tonight and confirm it - problem solved lol, time to buy a new PC and monitor :-?

I would think a good captain would be able to hazard a pretty good guess as to what depth he should set his torpedoes for, based on that knowledge. Still, it would be fun to have one more headache in the game.


Did I really just say that?
