This has been noted before, but no one has yet fixed it that I know of. I hope you can get them corrected!

Play in 100% realism like me and you will not notice it

at least this is one problem that's easy to ignore!!

Actually...Fleetboats prior to WWII had three bladed props....they were replaced because four bladed props ,with a different pitch, were more efficient at cruising speeds ,presumably.

So..it's actually not so bad an oversight....

Turning in the wrong direction?.....thats really a "rivet-counter" problem and doesn't detract from game-play in the least.

How can you even tell? :rotfl:

I just don't even notice stuff like that, I'm too worried about getting the camera damaged by the props to get that close. :p

When they start up they're rotating in the direction that should propel the sub backwards. If you run at 1/3 or less it's very apparent. Actually I'm not sure if it's that they're rotating in the wrong direction or whether it's that the propeller 3D model is made wrong - i.e. with the prop blades back-to-front.

Yes, You can to make a mirror 3D mesh variant of propellers ...

Sadly the closest I can get to a 3D mesh propeller is to make it out of chicken wire and papier mache, and I wouldn't know in which of the computer's orifices to try to insert it in order to get it in the game.

Maybe someone else can have a go? I'll pay well... in compliments!

It's simply ...
You can to invert X coordinate by HexEditor in "vertex data" section of propeller Type 1 chunk in submarine.dat ...
OR
1) Extract propeller by Pack3D
2) To invert X coordinate of propeller in 3DS Max
3) Import propeller.obj by Pack3D into temp-file submarine.dat
and than
4) by HexEditor copy/paste "vertex data" from temp-file into work submarine.dat
You see ... very simply ...
