Very true...but when working on the scripting a balance was sought around the parameters of gameplay versus realism.

If Privateer and I had of had our way some of the harbours with large tonnage in them were going to have listening devices as per in RL as well as fully netted off entrances/booms.

Harbour raiding whilst unrealist/historic was balanced against gameplay so in hindsight perhaps we should have released a mod to cover the above if the player wanted it.

What we ended up deciding on was a pretty realistic rendition of the coastal minefields (game constraints permitting) taken from official Admiralty charts given to us by a certain naval author and to the best of my understanding still having not been made public.

I'm open to offers/bribes

j/k

Listening devices? Can you even simulate these in SH3? I'm intrigued...

Yes it is/was possible (similar to mines ingame) but we never did get around to doing it.

We shall be forced to say NEE! again to you, if you do not appease us.

The Kaleuns who say NEE! demand... ... this mod! A nice one. And not too expensive.

Now GO!

Wow, they had listening devices in harbors during WWII?

What a boring job that must have been.

So we're back to a policy of appeasement are we? Doesn't have a great track record, but hey - the post was funny!
