Snow and ice?

AJ! · 02-11-07, 01:57 PM

Hey peeps

Will we be getting new graphic effects for Snow and Ice around Alaska area?
I assume some patrols will take the course around Alaska so i was thinking it would be nice to have blizzards etc :p

Haven't heard if ice and snow will be modeled. I know SH3 only had the occasional berg. However, everything I've read about patrolling in that area makes it sound like miserable and boring duty. Targets were rare and the environment was more dangerous than the enemy. (Maps of the area were rather incomplete so a lot of boats ran aground) Kind of like the Arctic patrols for the U-Boats. Think I"ll forsake the Aleutians Islands for sunnier climes.

Wonderful drawing. Just curious, did you already have this in your portfolio, or did you just draw this recently? As usual, most impressive work!

lol that is good

Anyway... back on topic

I recon a good Snow effect would really add some interesting gameplay assuming we were sent to patrol up north :p

Still only time will tell.....

That would make a nice tatooe, Torplexed ...
You could pick up a few extra dollars doing that one,
especially in the Seattle area ... lol

Didn't Glen Ford make a submarine movie that took place
in the Aleutians Islands?

Torplexed · 02-11-07, 05:54 PM

Tatoos creep me out..those needles.

Here's a nice atmospheric pic of the S-boat S-47 returning from a Aleutian patrol. Bad enough that you gotta spend weeks in a tossing wet, cold hull to then find out your R&R is in deary fogbound Dutch Harbor.

Great pic.

Gotta be resourceful: The Dutch make good beer, so all you need to do is find a friendly local Dutch lass to share it with. That'll help pass the time.

Uhhh.... THAT Dutch Harbor lacks a lot, including Dutchmen, Dutch beer...and even a decent anchorage... 'Been there, done that...'

According to the caption, it's an Alaskan port.

Parker: CO, we have reached Europe and are ready to disembark.
CO: Splendid, Parker.
Officer crossing gangplank to sub: Welcome to Alaska, comrades. Did you have a decent patrol?
CO: ... I... Wha--... PARKEEEEEERRRRGROWL!
