I sail in real life. ;)

Really? well that would suck then.

You would have bouys laying out in the bay showing you wear the channel is. One side of the channel the bouys would be green in color while the bouys on the other side would be red. Green is on your starboard side and red is on your port side IF youre leaving port. If you are returning, its 'Red Right Returning'.

As far as finding themselves out in the ocean, they use the old tried and true method of Sextant and charts. You can see the navigator using a sextant when he is on the conning tower in 'Das Boot'. The method is hundreds of years old and still works to near perfection. Its hard to learn though.

Nice new screenies:arrgh!:

Thanks, Neal. Those are awesome shots.

wonder what happends when you shoot the lifeboats:hmm:

:o
:o I guess we'll never know. No one us here would break the Geneva convention just to see what would happen :arrgh!:

wrong:arrgh!:
i would shoot a lifeboat just to see what happends

btw can the ships sink from flodding:hmm:

Nice shots Neal :up:

Look, fellas, don't shoot the life-boats ok? That's just bad Karma.

Neal are you going to release an early review like you did with SHIII? That kept our mouths watering until relase.

If its 10 15 pages long that will be ok. Lots of pictures etc. :rock:

Well, not running aground is going to be a challenge
 

It's clear from the screens of the sea floor that the risk of going aground or striking something is very real. We're going to have to really pay attention, as I think we are going to be wading in shallow waters a lot.

Apparently the games been released in Sweden:o

Here's a quick question ive seen oen or 2 shots of the sea floor which looks pretty good but will there be any wrecks/shoals etc oh and any biologics?:hmm:

Nice shots Neal!

So do you have a choice between Imperial or Metric Measurements? One of those Periscope shots looked a bit too shallow for feet.

And the ID Book data was in meters.

You just have to love those anchor icons:up:. I notice they're in addition to the small dots scattered about, so I assume they denote friendly harbours?

Must have had too much grog last night :yep: At first glance I thought this was a midget sub on the deck of a ship :lol: :damn:

What I am perplexed about is that in the control room shot (Check Six Site) the Depth Gauge shows 60 FEET, while the small interface gauge shows 18 METERS!

Feet, Meters,...a choice????

I'm soooo confused!!! :damn: :damn:
