Whats with the red triangle?

Tango589 · 06-17-08, 01:20 PM

What do these mean? Is it information that only a few worthy subsimmers are privy to or is it an in-joke that I came along too late to get?:hmm:

Most serious subsimmers hate the red triangle that designated targets, I believe starting with SH1? The thinking is that real sub captains didn't have a red "target locked on" triangle floating below the target. It definitely breaks immersion, IMO.

PD

SH2 more like.

But they could have been in SH1. :hmm:

They should add that damn orange sub marker too from SHII and SHIV! Its the first file I modify (with the delete button!) upon installation!

The infomous little red target triangle!
Everyone hated it. no one could remove it.
Twas Evil!

How do you get rid of the accuracy triangle? I admit to using auto-targetting, but it would be nice to not have the on-screen help.

The love of my life!, where were you in SHIII??

:rotfl: Just kidding!

You can not unless you beef up your realism and plot it yourself.

I remember it was in SH1 for targeting and Photorecons.

SH3 or SH2?

In SH2 it can not be removed.
In SH3 it goes when you use manual targeting.
