Hi Drebbel, some of those where not here, but they are big.
I am afraid this thread may have gotten too cluttered to find images. I searched for some previously posted images, but simply could not find them, so I backtracked to their original posting site. The number of quote reposts of the same image several times increases the clutter too. Maybe the thread could be edited to single views or thumbnails of each image made in the waiting time? I know, on arrival, there will be a whole new round of exicting postings of actual, and probably remarkable, game screens. Maybe on the 21st, this thread could be replaced with a live in-game screen thread?

Editing this thread would include deleting a zillion post from many skippers. And I sure do not have the guts to do that :D

Somebody should set up a web broadcast of them playing the game. Then all of us who don't have it yet can get mad as they do things we wouldn't...

We have confirmation that the interiors have been seperately modeled:

Yes but the top pic is a control room and the bottom is a conning tower. :smug:

Are you sure that the pic above is the control room of an old S-class, it looks so huge.:o When I first saw it I thought it was the control room of a fleet sub.

I read somewhere on this forum that some seaweed can grow way taller than that, Can't remember where though.

For those of you who dont what those things are, I will explain them to you. Lets start with the pencil since everyone know what that is and what it looks like. Now if we go clockwise, we see the 'compass'. You probably used one of these in school to draw arcs or circles. But this one doesnt have a lead on one end (usually). It is used to measure distance. Going left, we have the 'magnifying glass'. This is for you poor sods who cant see very well anymore. LOL Just underneath it, the wooden box looking thing is the compass for defining course in a north, east, west, south direction. Some of you have used the digital compass overlay in SHIII. Same principle. Now going clockwise, we have what is called a 'parrellel rule'. It is used to lay out a course. After determing which direction you want to go, you can use this to 'walk' across the map. In RL, you would have a compass rose somewhere printed on the map. This is how it would be used if the rose was on the map. Say you see a ship heading south east but you dont really know what is the actual course. You would place the parellel rule over the ships course and then walk it over to the rose. When the edge of the rule hits the center mark of the rose, you could then read the actual course of the ship. On top of the parallel rule, is of course an 'eraser'. Its used to remove any mistakes. DUH! Now the little green thing with the slot in it is just a 'magnet compass'. It kind of looks like one that a boy scout would use. So anyway, I hope this helps any of you. :rock: :up: |
Wow! you know your stuff. :up:

I'll stick with my 'Tom Tom' navigator thanks :D

So how exactly did the subs navigate out at sea without GPS and/or loran systems, etc? Was there ever a chance of being lost without reference to land due to drift and what not? |
