Dev Are Having A Laugh ! Blue And Red Contacts On Map US/Japanese!
 

I'm now on the USS Drum a new Gato, and I have 2 radars now.

When I got this contact called out on my way from PH to Mway, I looked at the radar and seen its range was 8,000. And on the nav map the contact was grey, I press CT and when the contact was just inside 8,000 I jumped into the radar and watched as the sweep went round I seen the light green contact blip a small circle. But the other radar had no Spike showing ???

Any way I though I'd take a snap of my 1st contact showing on radar, as you know the ingame way to take a snap is Ctrl+F11. I looked at the radar screen and as the sweep came round again and highlighted the contact as a light green circle, as soon as I press down on Crtl before I press F11 .. This happened!

I had to laugh ... I looked at the nav map and the contact went from grey to blue, I can't wait to see what they have put for an enemy contact..

Though I guess that a Mod to turn off the blue red contacts and make them all grey will take away the :D too ??

At least he looks like a friendly to me :up:

Yeah, I think Neal Stevens was the first to discover that you get a smilie when taking a screenshot of the Radar. I'm pretty sure this is listed in the Sticky Thread titled 'Easter Eggs & Dev Team Humor' at the top of the forum. Nice screenshot of it tho.

Cheers

That's one helluva IFF system. Friendlies are actually friendly. :lol:

And check out the Easter Egg sticky as 1Tin said. An armada of smilies!
