Icebergs?
 
I notice that icebergs are in the roster, but i've never seen one in-game.
I've heard a bit about them but never got a straigh yes/no answer.
Thanks :)

There are icebergs in the sim, but only a small token number so they're hard to find. If the game tried to load as many bergs as there are really out there in the Arctic, it would crash most systems.

Yeh, you'd need a real 'Titanic' rig...

Hur hur hurr...

There are indeed icebergs and sometimes you can see the whales swimming around them....in SH3 GWX.

Oh i saw a couple of icebergs allready (why did u call them icebergs? if i took the german word Eisberg the exact translation must be something like icemountain) but i never saw whales arround (GWX 3Gold ofc).
I hear them at the hydrophone but never saw some.

Icebergs
 
When patrolling way up north I have seen a few. Funny thing is they tend to come up on the hydrophones as a very slow moving vessel like 1-2knots. Before I realized what they were I would intercept these contacts and find myself face to face with an ice mountain. Weird. Also, via the hydrophones I will hear "biologicals" very near these bergs. Whales I suppose....:hmmm:

Now, see... folks on your end of the spectrum have had that experience with this sim. I'm always too busy trying (and mostly faltering) to rack up tonnage. Should I stop to smell the roses once in awhile? :hmmm:
