Default The spotlight on the subs

Is there a way to use them?

Cheers

Bulbs burned out on my sub.


Seems that question has been asked before but to no avail.
Since it is added to the subs and does not work I'd say it was one of those many things the DEV's left behind. Not sure if it could even be modded?

I'm guessing you mean the light on the Porpoise's sail, port side? Is that a search light or a signal lamp? Looks too small to be a search light.

I guess you figured we would have enough troubles in the game so why code another headache eh.

Actually since we do not have any allied subs in the game, I wouldn't think there was a need to "Signal" the enemy.:hmm:



Your sub pulls alongside a Japanese DD at night and signal with the light: "HEY YOU, pull over so I can put a torp in your side!"

Japanese DD............"Velly sollie oh unworthy one, see you go to Davey's. Ah so."
