Like I said, some people just enjoy doing it I guess.
I don't think Webster was maliciously intending to spread a silly rumour about there being no rough seas. I think it was an honest belief. He may have misread, forgotten, who knows, but to imply that it was a deliberate attempt at spreading a silly rumour is a real head scratcher for me, IMHO of course.

Actually I had you in mind, not Webster. Nice attempt to twist yet another post around (I've seen it many times from you). IMHO of course.

Me???!!! Where I have I said it?

The only time I referred to it was post #15 here... in response to Webster's post #5!

Indeed, if you then read post #26 and #29 here, you'll see I certainly wasn't spreading such a rumour!

Seems someone is seeing things through prejudiced glasses.

Right, #29 is a perfect example. Thanks for proving my point.

How do you get me spreading silly rumours from a comment like:

Quote:
Well, Webster said he read somewhere something about rough seas not being modelled...but I guess unless he can produce a link, then it was never said. I couldn't find anything similar in the Q&A thread.

I'm not gonna speculate - like many people I assumed "Operation Drumbeat" to also mean the inclusion of Type IX U-boats...how wrong that was, LOL!
Where did I say that there will be no rough seas? I said Webster mentioned it, and I couldn't find anything to confim it! In fact, my post was to down play his statement until he provided proof (if any existed)! I specifically said that I wasn't speculating!

Funny that you think my post is spreading rumours when Webster's original one:
Quote:
i think you can forget anything past normal weather.

they said ther wont be any rough sea conditions in sh5 so that should mean no blizards but matbe just heavy snow is the limit


they did say cold weather effects your boat and crew so icing up of equipt. and such should be in the game
and subsequent one:
Quote:
i cant find the link to it but in an interview a question was asked about if we could have trouble using the periscope in rough weather conditions and the answer was something to the effect of we dont have seas that get that rough in sh5.

so i have no firm specific statement on it but by the reference and no video of boats in rough seas (which is a big "wow man thats cool" factor that they would want to show) then i have to go with the implication of no rough stormy seas untill i see or hear something different about it.

it sounds impossible they would do that but so did the idea of a 1 sub sh5 game
goes uncommented by you.

Man, I know you have a beef with me, but geez, take the prejudice glasses off just for one second!

I stand corrected about your link, the post that proves my point is #26 not 29.
I think I've wasted just about enough time with you on this.

Sigh, I still challenge you to find one post where I said, overtly and clearly, that there would be no rough seas modelled.

Seems you can make foundless claims, but struggle to back them up.

Sorry Neal, you'll see I didn't start the finger pointing here, and I certainly will defend false claims laid against me!

I cannot see any problem with general banter as long as its to do with SH5 and no personal insults. Where have you seen a problem ? Theres a lack of good info on SH5 so its only natural that people make stuff up if there is no real info .
