Tirpitz showing up way too early

Deep-Six · 02-21-07, 10:09 PM

I was on my first early patrol and saw the KM Tirpitz docked in Wilhelmhaven.

This not to be true the Bismarck was the first of the class to come then the Tirpitz.

Someone will need to change this in the next patch, if there is to be one.

Don't forget she was launched in April 1939. She remained docked at Wilhelmshaven during fitting until March 1941, before moving to Kiel.

GWX models this fact. The compromise being that we chose not to create multiple clones to depict the various stages of build.

But she was there, at that time, in the water... http://www.bismarck-class.dk/tirpitz...ittingout.html

Nevermind then, I am losing my memory in a bad way.

now i wondered why it was docked at wilhelmshaven on every patrol i did, so its docked until 1941 right. so after that will it be gone from the docks?

It's the highlight of leaving Wilhelmshaven for me

. Every time I do a slow sail-past to have a close look, can't help myself!

Looks great too, only one minor glitch as has been reported before - namely that the lighthouse lights behind Tirpitz tend to shine straight through it but I assume that's a general problem with SH3 as similar things happen elsewhere.

Oh yeah, that's one of the biggest annoyances, those lights shining through ships, u-boats, buildings, mountains...

It appears it may happen in SH4 too.

One must presume so
