SH5 Historical Accuracy?

[darrincates]

I'm new at SH5, but I was aware enough to note that some of the radio messages I received were somewhat historically accurate in vessels sinking, the time and location of sinking as well.

Since I'm up to par on tonnage, and just waiting for my June 1st date to roll around, I figured I'd try and see if I could witness (or take part of) a historical sinking being recreated for the sake of the radio message I would receive.

I got information on the next historical sinking from here, and showed up at the right place three days early. the Radio message came in with slightly different coordinates and thus discovered that SH5 was a little off on the location compared to the page here, so I reloaded, and went to where SH5 said the sinking took place, but I saw & heard nothing at all except the radio message that did eventually come in stating that the historical sinking of the Jern took place right where I had been sitting for days and saw/heard nothing?:


I did this as a test in hoping that while I wait for June 1st, I could get in as many historricaly accurate battles before hand. I was really hoping to get over to Scapa Flow for the HMS Royal Oak on 10/14/1939 and actually witness or take part? ...

Is it possible to show up at the right place and time to take part in historically accurate engagements? Thanks! - darrin

If the radio message doesn't show up in cyan color it's for immersion purposes only.

Maybe you can talk Trevally into scripting these events you are wanting to see into OHII

right on, ... I'll keep an eye out for cyan ... Thanks ...

So as far as you know, I can't just simply show up at Scapa Flow on Oct 14th, 39 and witness the Oak engagement? .. That seems too bad since it seemed a HUGE event ... too bad to have to miss it! .... what, and I'l miss out on every other great historical engagement in the North Atlantic too? ... (unless I play the 'Historical Missions' ... which don't tie in with my campaign obviously .... ) - thanks again - Darrin

If you install OHII - not only will you see the attack in Scapa flow, you will be expected to do it

If you want any historical battle to be put into the campaign - just post a request in the OHII thread and I wil have a look

What!?!? .... That sounds great! ... will OHII it work if enabled over/after these?:



and will I need to start a new campaign?

See here for help with mods and what order to put them.
OHII will work with your list, but look at the install order against the example in the thread I posted.

Yes - you will need to start a new campaign
