Sailor does it realy bothers you that I registered only few days ago or what ?

No, it doesn't bother me at all. I was just trying to draw you out, because we knew you were PapaKilo, and it worked. You couldn't help being the same old troll as always.

Noisy_Buoy was PapaKilo!!!!

Now, I am so truly and unimaginably embarrassed.

He was Papakilo, Kentas, Contact ... when your paranoid these things happen. He will return, and we will ban him again, that's life ... simply ignore him and do not reply to posts from "new" members that appear as veterans when talking about the game. We will take care of the rest

I have been using the Internet since the days before there were forums and used newsgroups for discussion. In all that time I have never encountered an actual troll, just people calling others that name.

This is a certainly a lesson for me

. I bow to you Sensei.

Very good advice, Hitman.

A 50% reduction seems fine. It would fit fairly well in the 8 km and 16 km environments. I am unsure if it's as good for the 20 km environment, but 10 km isn't too much of a stretch for visual contact, given the range of distances quoted by everyone.

I know the SH3 developers settled on 8 km as the environment size after several WWII historical sources cited 5 miles as the maximum visual range one has while standing on the bridge of a u-boat. Given the surviving diaries, log books, and statements of actual sailors of the U-bootwaffe, it does make me wonder how this absolute number of 5 miles was ascertained. Was it done with mathematics or some other source? From what I have read of the books that often quote this number, there seems to be little clarification. The authors make no mention if this 5 mile limit is with or without optical aids. There is no specificity to define exactly when a ship is considered to be "spotted", either. Is it when the masthead, all or part of the superstructure, or the hull is in plain view?

When weighing this matter, I must lean strongly in favor of the testimony of men who were actually there. No scholar working amid stacks of books, rather than the stacked rollers of an Atlantic storm, can ever claim to have definitive knowledge. This leads me to conclude that the SH3 developers and historians got it wrong while the fans and modders of this community have always been right.

Your efforts to stop me from being here is nothing compared to my wish to stay here no matter what nickname I own =]

This fight you will never win, I'm gonna haunt this place till I die =]

You tracked me, just because I wanted so, do not expect it will happen

again in the close future =]

P.S. I always hold my word!

Every time you show your hand you can rely on myself or fellow moderators to ban you.

P.S. I always keep my word too.
