Actually dutch, same as english, is considered a germanic language. They all originated from the same root of ancient germanic speech.

Saying in english that dutch is barbarian is a contradiction in itself, because "barbari" is the latin term for foreigners :doh:

Thats 1 big wave :o, and there is nothing wrong with Dutch !!!

Well i must confess that as a dutchman i allways liked the flowing way spanish and italian sound much more then i like the tone of dutch.

Spanish and italian have certainly some musicality, same as english and specially russian, :up: but the drawback for us is that the actual sounds are way less richer than german, dutch, norwegean, etc, and this makes it more difficult for an adult spaniard or italian to correctly learn and pronounce other languages. I learnt german while being a kid, hence I have a very natural pronuntiation and would not have problems with dutch if I tried to learn it.

Nevertheless, back on topic, the wave seen in the picture is certainly gorgeous, but is a type of wave that only exists at the coast. The transparecny and foam are however something that would SH5 stand from anything else naval. In my opinion, the Devs could well leave detail in 3D models out as longa s they concentrate in a really, really good sea. After all, that is 99% of what we will see in our screens 99% of the patrol, right? :yeah:

Okay, dutch is (was) also a worldlanguage.

That's an illustration of the last moments of MS München, that sunk 1978.

Pretty sure that last one is a cloud and not a wave ;)

Nice pics.

Reminds me of my sailing days indeed.

Do you know what? Oh my god what is the world small.
This ship was of the german shipping comp. hapag lloyd.
And that`s the firm i am working for since 29 years. :rotfl2:

That squall line is scary. I saw one like that outside Rio de Janeiro (while driving a car) When it hit the coast, it demolished several brick fences. :nope:

No, no, no, it's a flying wave:yep:
You don't know it yet but it really is:yep:

Waves in the ocean don't really roll over like they do at a beach do they?

No. Waves actually travel in a circular motion, creating what appears from the surface as "swells". As the water grows shallow on a beach, the rolling motion is distorted by the forced change of shape and the drag from the bottom, resulting in what are commonly referred to as "breakers".
