No Rough seas ???

oscar19681 · 01-25-10, 03:54 PM

This is the most stupid rumor i,ve heard so far. Why on earth would there be no rough seas when they where in sh-3 and 4? Where on earth is this rumor coming from anyway?

i for sure saw some screenshots with rough seas in the last screens posted
(i mean from the magazine)

I've heard this crazy rumour that this forum has a search function.

You haven't seen any of the British Battleships either, but I bet they are in as well.
Why would they take out a working sea state included in the previous games, and just have light/medium waves? Considering you get to travel the whole atlantic, med and more, whole year around.
Trying to take that out of the code would be more harder than you think. So I'm confident there are rough seas.

The things they didn't include (subs other than VII, campaign after 1943) must be related to the new interior/crew system. They couldn't get the other sub interiors completed, and they couldn't get the new crew/gadgets to work with the new technology, in the detail they wanted to simulate. (Either from time constraints or future plans..)

IMHO some goodies are kept for suprise

There were 40 screenshots
some were old but there were many new
i noticed at least 2 with rough seas
unfortunately they were moved to subscribers only section

Who cares whether there are no rough seas in any of the screenshots? Yes it would quell the speculation, but can any of the complainers show a statement from anybody official that would lead to that conclusion in the first place?

Of course there'll be rough seas...you'll just never see them because of the "good weather" bug (as opposed to SH3's "bad weather" bug).

But SH3 only modelled up to around Beaufort scale 7...hardly what could be called "rough"; more like medium. Hence why the fudge-around mods and tweaks designed to get rougher swells (ie SH3Cmdr's "Wave Height" setting). In other words, for there to be true rough seas in SH5, they actually need to soup up what they already had, otherwise we will end up with just "light/medium" waves again.

Maybe people need to ensure that they all have the same definition of "rough". If they think stock SH3 seas are "rough", then I doubt they'll be disappointed with SH5. However, if they think that seas are not rough until they hit Beaufort scale 9, then, well, that's yet to be seen.

But of course there was rough sea in SH4. Just the sub behavior was somewhat... weird:

Yes was as though the boat was filled with helium, not only that but the crew kept appearing/disappearing!!

(probably high!

This is possibly the most ridiculous thread I've seen so far in the SH5 forum, and that's quite a feat.

Well , i remember a trailer of sh3 before the release with rough weather, diving in a storm. but nothing about in SHV

perhaps is based in sh4 ,and the stock behavior in this game was very poor, like Helium submarines and underwater rails.

i supose that some screenshots and a video of a storm can cause a severe damage in games sales

it can explain the no news about the atlantic campaign , the most important in WWII, and marqueting centered about mediterranean
