When entering harbors keep the Red Bouys on your left . Remember Port is Red and Port has the same amount of letters as left . Port/left/red . Leaving harbours you will have green bouys on your left .

Any other harbors I need to add ? Ideas will be appreciated . Landmarks you have observed can be added etc !

Well done Sober

By the way of your mod, I wonder if oakdesign is still working on his own Major Floating Lights on Nav Map

Addu Atoll http://www.avalanchepress.com/AdduAtoll.php

Your mission will require you to sneak into the atoll.
Only two channels are deep enough (decks awash)

The German submarine U-183 did torpedo the tanker British Loyalty in March 1944, making an impressive long-range shot from outside the atoll through a gap in the anti-torpedo nets.

@ Trevally

(a bit offtopic, sorry sober )

I have finally discovered the meaning of the black/yellow buoy with the cones on top:

Look for "cardinal buoys"

oooo nasty

I wonder what intelligence they had on Scapa Flow before the raid apart from block ships
Also imo there shouldn't be any DDs or enemy vessels around Holm sound and no vessels east of Scapa during Total Germany campaign . It should be easy to get into .
You could place 2 block ships close together so a sub just squeezes thru . I could add shallow water either side . With Reworked Submarine Damage you wouldn't want to hit the block ships .
No more easy targets after Total Germany though .
Re Attu , less intelligence on my nav bouy map . Not the navmap .

Found a website with free on-line nautical charts:

http://map.openseamap.org/

For Addu Atoll, it only shows a minor beacon on Bushy Islet (the small island at the northen entrance to the atoll, missing in SH5). No lateral buoys.

Here is my rework of Trevally/Sober's map, featuring batimetric lines from the website mentioned above, but with buoys as per sober's chart. The style is roughly based on real Kriegsmarine charts as seen on kartengruppe.it:

Way to go Sober, and also Gap for the chart website link.

Now we really are sailing in a real setting. I can hardly see the buoys through the murk caused by Sober's storm clouds. Ah there, through a haze of Sober's Lights is the channel.

Ahh, home again.

Tanks Trevally,
I will see what I can do with the other port entrances.

On a side note: can you please have a look at the websites I have linked in my previous posts here, especially the last one? From there you can get many clues on how to make OH's buoys even more realistic.
