SH5 Historical Accuracy?

darrincates · 03-04-12, 06:54 PM

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
