Default Snow on the Ground in San Diego

So I took a tiger cruise up to San Diego, for the heck of it, on my boat, and slipped past Coronado (which appears to be modelled on current maps, not the pre filled Coronado which would have greeted the Sailors back in 1942) . . . and I look to my port side, and there was Fort Roscrans, all decked in snow . . . does anyone have an answer for this? Is this something that should be brought up for the new patch . . . or is it only a minor thing?

I think stuff like this are best left untouched. From your description it seems like a cosmetic innacuracy rather than a game breaking bug. I can most certainly live with it since I have no clue as to how Coronado would look today, much less during WW2.

Like I said, it was a tiger cruise, that I wanted to test out my boat prior to bring her teeth to bear . . . the time didn't count though as I experienced a CTD on my way up to San Francisco. I have lived in both cities, so I wanted to see how accurate it was.

I haven't made it to San Francisco yet though, as I have now continued with the regular patrols.

But I was able to get up to San Diego in good time, when I did, and coming from the South South West, it was pretty accurate as far as the land masses looked, until I got past the break jutting out of North Island. Fort Roscrans' batteries were missing, as was the lighthouse atop the peninsula. Hotel Del Coronado wasn't present, nor was Hotel Cortez.

Oh well . . .

Shouldn't be . . . and lets not make this thread political . . . because the Spanish Blight which I talked about, was filled in during the mid-1940's So it was present then, but is not present now . . . and so it would be the opposite of global warming . . . as that assumes that water will rise, and create less land mass, not more as is in this situation.

Wow! Were there any Kriegsmariners waiting there to sink you?

Let me guess you put battery and fuel to unlimited? What other cool sites have you seen? The London Bridge? Statue of Liberty?
