Time of day

Now ive read all the post I can find on this subject so now Im gonna ask for myself.I realize there are time differences etc. implemented into the game but I still dont understand.Its 3am in my world(SH3),Im just a little southeast of Scapa Flow on the game map,and its broad daylight.Local time display says 03:00.Is this correct or am I out of sync timewise?

hmmm, closer to the Top of the World, More Sunlight during some seasons

Hey! Scotland in the summertime, it's daylight all night long. Close to it anyway if I remember correctly.

It's the high latitude.

In the high latitudes like Scapa, you never get real darkness from May to August or September. Real life Kaleuns bitched about it a lot.

If you let your mouse pointer on top of the display it will show the Local Time. The time the game uses by default is GMT. That's why you see the sun rising at 3:00 in the morning etc.

I'll answer this seeing as i live in Scotland yes in some days it starts getting light as early as 2am and doesent get dark till nearly midnight. So some days we get 2 hours of darkness and at that its more a twilighty effect not true darkness its annoying as hell

I found out about it kinda accidentally when I was doing my 9th patrol last weekend

second career, first career lasted only 6 patrols. Mouse pointer was on top of the time in nav map and then it shows "local time" I wondered what it was at first, then I realized that maybe it's the current time at the time zone I was currently in.

Do you mean dark as in night time, or is the sky just a solid black?

leeclose · 03-16-07, 08:21 AM

If its dark as nigth thats about right for that time of year in scotland i should know i stay here it gets dark at about 2/3pm and gets light about 9/10 am and the further north you go the darker it gets and the longer it stays dark

Henri II · 03-16-07, 08:36 AM

Still I think 24 h darkness is not encountered south of the arctic circle.

I thought it was local time and German time? I know this is what they used on the boats historically.
