Didn't you see that new Dr. Who episode? The Doctor modifies the bus and then the cute chick thief steals it at the end...

Yes I imagine the flags are shown a little to large.
Take a look at the U.S. Flag below on the USS Sarsfield EDD 837. ( My sig. )

Wasn't it in SHIII the Devs said the enlargement of the flags was for players ability to make sure it was the enemy? Or something like that.

As said a few times before, the flags can be modded, so no biggie. :yawn:

Some totally generic shipping plus the Victory\Liberty\Oceans\Parks\Forts\Doxfords etc would be cool

Want those Canadian split-superstructure Liberties!

The original Liberty's

Quote:

These sixty 'Ocean' class vessels were built to the original 'Empire Liberty' design which was in essence the first 'North Sands' ship.

Never sure why nobody modded those
Ocean class = 60
North Sands\Canadian type as Forts = 155
North Sands\Canadian type as Parks = 114 + 13 tankers + forty-two 4,700 t dry cargo carriers
Victory type as Forts\Parks = 32

All used by Britain

There are four ships based on the Parks/British Liberties in the Merchant Fleet Mod beta. One with the split deckhouse on an island, one flush decker, and a CAM-ship version of each.

Which ones are they? Have I been applying the wrong names to the wrong ships? Wouldn't surprise me, but then we haven't communicated as much as I would have liked.

The later is mostly due to the occlusion maps that add a lot to the feel of the ship, even with the dynamic shadows. Still it can be done, but it takes much more effort per ship.

Regarding the secondary armaments, you're definetly right! We have a classic issue of both the guns and the ship containing the "pedestal".

As for the KGV, they will of course be included in the game. However, you have to understand that no matter what ship we might choose to show, somebody would come and say "why that ship makes no sense, it was the other one that was much more interesting to be shown".

One of the tricks of submarine games and free roaming is that the player should never completely know "whats around the corner". If all we included was the KGV, the game world would have been kind of poor. So, expect more, much more.

So any expansion after 1943 will include the changes to ships armaments, as Nelson was reffited in november 1943? Hope the secondary armament is rectified, as the model looks really good!

I was thinking more along the lines that we havent been given a complete ship manifest for SHV, so all i was expecting were the ones previewed plus some extras. Its great to hear we will have the KGV but what others can we expect? Will there also be a museum to view the ships like SHIV? I suspect we will have either a Queen Elizabeth class or Royal Soverign class battleship for the British as well.

I can't break "THE GREAT MARKETING INFORMATION REVEAL PLAN" by telling you guys all the ships that we have in the game.
