Dolphins in GWX

Tonnage_Ace · 12-30-06, 12:45 AM

I heard some squeeks on the hydrophone and tracked them down, finally coming across a group of dolphins a few hundred nautical miles west of Ireland. Thought it was a really nice touch with the dolphins audible on the hydrophone by the way. Aren't the waters too cold for dolphins in the North Atlantic? I thought they were a tropical mammal, sticking closer to the equator, but I could be wrong. Maybe there are some marine biologists on the forums who could shed some light.

We get dolphins across Ireland and the Western coast of Southern England and Wales.
There is also a few coral reefs on the Scottish coast.

I did not know that except for coral reefs in the topics like in Thailand or in the Great Barrier Reef in Aussieland.

Could anyone please post a pic? I've yet to see one in the game.

They need more detailed eyes tho.

Its a limitation of the poor UVW map the SH3 Devs makde for the dolphins.

That skin might not be the one in GWX.

Thank you, that is so cool!

But...you mean there were dolphins in stock SH3 too? I thought that was new to GWX.

The dolphins model and textures where in stock SH3, But not in game.
They where in a unused folder. Probably something the Devs didn't have time to complete.

Now all we need are sharks circling the sinking ships.

Maybe that too like that one cruiser that was carryin the atom bomb.

Aren't you going just a little OT, azn?

btw, the Northsea has dolphins....like this one, the smallest species Phocoena phocoena:

and this one...Tursiops truncatus:

and the white-tipped Lagenorhynchus albirostris

So that's 3 species, feeling perfectly at home in the relatively cold Northsea.
In my game - sailing from Bergen - I always encounter some when leaving the Norwegian coast.

OT? What the baka does that mean?
