Atlantic Das Boot water?
 

I wouldn't mind trying out the Das Boot water, its looks pretty cool....... But, alas the link is dead with rapidshare? well anywhere else I may be allowed to d/l it or has it gone to the history books?......Thanking you

Sorry for taking an off-topic post even futher, but, hey, I know you realism fanatics utterly despise the movie u-571, but personally, I found it to be one hell of an entertaining movie, whatever the director's hidden agenda was (ermm... Americans capturing enigma when it was supposed to me British... whatever)

so does this watter color change to deep blue when in deep waters?

This greencolor is not only typical of more shallow water, but also seasonal! ;)

I don't know where Das Boot was filmed by must films are shot in a large water tank, so you can't go by those when judging watercolor, I think.

Hi,
They filmed the unserwaterscenes of "Das Boot" in a Lake.

pontius

Which only strengthens my point that if you want to mod water realistically, and use TV footage for your project - use the documentary. The color film of sunk Kursk for instance gives a good impression of the color of the water.

The recent submarine emergency escape training is another example (we seen the Dutch sub bit on this forum i think - but many other countries did it, including russia, so there can be more footage around). that one give impression of water in shallow. quite transparent. ;)

This file has been deleted from rapidshare.......

Each to his own, if you watch lots of naval/sea movies or film footage as I do, I've noticed the sea colours vary so much, so it is hard to get it to suit every occassion, time, season and place etc.
Then there is different video cards in our PC's that will show it slightly different too.

Must ask is this 1.4 compatible?

of course it it, all new mods are 1.4 compatible.

Just checking....thanks

Well, yes, each to his own, but there are more or less general things. Like the atlantic isn't green for majority parts.

For SH3 designs, the atlantic water has to be darker blue on surface, not very transparent, but still good enough. For the Medeterranean, I'd have a better transparency and perhaps a brighter blue (i lived in a condo for 4 years on a coast of Malta, so from what I can remember when looking at Sicely - it's nice calm blue in good weather). For arctic, since I don't know where that begins in game (yet) I'd have a much better visibility, given the proximity of ice and how under ice the water is very transparent. Dark blue as well.

For me, personally, there shuoldn't be that much green.

I'm also a scuba diver, I dove in the atlantic and mideterranean more than once, and have decent recollection of what periscope depth feels like in south florida, rhode island (that's open ocean there) or in New York sound, as well as in Malta (not in Valetta of course, but Blue Grotto, the St. Julians bay and St. Pauls bay areas, as well as the Malta sea coast near Gozo).

I haven't watched tons of war movies though, so I can be wrong in what I saw as well, since I only witnessed very small parts, and never in center of the Atlantic (ovbsiouly!).

Sorry for bumping, but Does someone still has this mod and can upload it again for me? :lol:
