Dudes, are we talking about the wintergarten rail level or about the deck height level?

Hi Dan, here's my take, given the pics:

1: the angle of the rail looks very different, much steeper on the blueprint

2: the deck on the model looks fairly level with the 1st wave breaker, as to the blueprint, looks fine to me

3 & 4: hard to tell from the picture. If the height of 3 is accurate, then it means that the height of 4 is too small on the 3D model compared to the blueprint, which would explain the flatter angle of the upper rail in #1, and by extension why the crewmen seem to be 10/20cm higher on the model than on the B&W pictures.

Dan, is this how the game really looks? I mean... no Photoshop? No "Artists rendition"? Because it that case... G'DAAAAAAMN :o
In this very picture we're bickering about the deck height, I'm just struck by how realistic (and artistic) the railings look. And the planking of the main deck... and the water spray.... and the lights G'DAAAAMN :))

impression... Wintergarten is about 20 cm too high...
still... jaw droppinh quality.

Gustav, what's with that sig bro? Why not use it after you actually play SH5? It might even be "SH5 is the shizzle, yo"

30 cm...For a simulator it is inadmissible! :down:

Let's ask Tomi_099, what he thinks of it?:cool::yep:

Once again: Hand-rail of "winter garden" too to make more low, as on the original.

" Up scope....."
"Merchant spotted..,range..500 meters,30 degrees port"
"Ready tubes 1 and 3...fire on my mark...FIRE....."
"Sorry Sir, our Wintergarten is about 20 cm too high....."
" Dang....abandon ship.":dead:

GKane over at the Ubi site is promising more content is being released this week.

Those are some nice pictures, but the UI design seems to have a not so good look (kind of mid-high tech look) to lots of members in the community. My personal opinion is that, since it will be moddable, that we focus on other more important stuff (since we'll be able to change the UI later), like gameplay and realism, which we have yet to see in detail.

Cheers

Given the amount of variation on real type7 boats thanks to different ship yards building them and occasionally even material availability and shortages a paltry 20cm difference from the original blueprint is perfectly feasible, do people really imagine that every type7 was an exact clone of every other?!?

I posted that just to help with the question, but I'm totally with you on that :)
Besides, it's possible that the drawing isn't even accurate, if we put the average guy shoulder line on the level of the edge of the tower, the gun mount on the drawing is way too low.

May be this willbe of some help

I hope that it will be screenshots others than at the first post of this subject - because UBI forum (and other english source) does not have them...
