Numerous errors in the SH3 intro video

TECHNICOLOR · 02-09-14, 06:33 AM

I just watched the intro video of sh3 and I noticed many factual errors:
1 Hydrophone operator has the needle pointing at 000 and he reports a contact a 311.
2 The captain orders periscope up and the proceeds to turn the periscope into the sun ,blinding him and giving away his position to the ever alert escorts
3 The same captain then decides to attack on the surface despite daylight conditions

You know I've never watched it. To anxious to play I guess.

Ultimately, it's just a short intro whose only goal is to look fancy and make you feel like playing the game itself. You don't have to take it seriously since it was made by animators and not by graduated U-boat experts. I firmly believe Silent Hunter III (with one of its supermods) has the most realistic, most authentic and most intimate atmosphere of its genre for almost 9 years, no matter how many errors the intro has.

I never cared. I've been using SH3 Commander's function that disables it for many years now.

If it bothers u that much you can delete it without causing any loading errors it skips it entirely then or just press spacebar its kept in the videos folder titled intro

Fire and 'fuer' sounds about the same.

But yes, 'los' would be better as it isn't really firing a gun.
