8. He's a national geographic reporter?

9. Looks like further rank identifiers. Green for the sailors, red for the NCOs...
Which leads me to realise something I didn't notice in SH3 until now. You couldn't promote sailor ranks through to the NCO ranks, although it should be possible.

:rotfl::rotfl::hmm:

control issue horse
 

I posted in three threads because your control issues are not positive, some times.

Hello Boris,

Actually, I think if you use SH3 Commander you can Promote or Demote any Crewman.:hmm:

This game is Doomed ...Bernard was here...just look at this pic. The boxes next to the US Flags

:up:

In SH3 you can actually promote a Sailor to NCO, but SH3 Commander doesn't allow you to do so.

Good point. I didn't notice that.

Again, good point. On the other hand, Fleet boats had two engine rooms, with two diesels each; so there should be two engine rooms. And where is the motor room?

Me too.

The names don't bother me too much, because there will almost certainly be a need for an SH4 Commander. If they don't have combinations of all the US submariners' names, a mod surely will.

Of course. That's why I posed it as a question.

Don't sailors in Silent Hunter III have morale, too? I'm pretty sure they do in GWX.[/quote]
I'm sure the do too; but they don't have labels like "Poor", "Good", "Fanatical".

Maneuvering Room would be more correct...

groetjes,

I've heard of the maneuvering room. Is that actually where the electric motors are? No matter how much you know, there is always one more little thing...

U-96 had Lt. Werner, USS Gato has this guy. Same thing;).

Yep, That's where the motors are.

It also is the 'gas-pedal' of the boat. Any orders sent by Motor Order Telegraph were received in here. Then the crew would act accordingly.

Have a look at this link:

No More Yamato Fever??
 

The IGN preview states that once you sink a capitol ship it will not reappear in the campaign - that means you only get a crack at 2 Yamato class BBs. I seem to remember that this was NOT the case in SHI.

Neal, can you confirm that this is true?

Barkhorn.

Wow, I can't wait for this to come out.

I really love fleet boats.

Sinking Capital Ships in SHIV
 

Yes, I noticed this too and mentioned it another thread. Interesting thought, isn't it?:hmm:

In SHI, I remember sinking four Nagato class BBs in one campaign once - all in 1944 I think.:o This was despite the fact that in RL, only two were ever built, and only the Nagato was still afloat in 1944.:cool: It would be rather good to see this kind of historical inconsistency solved through such a solution as this, at least in IMO.
