New "Unit": Debris / Flotsam for download

logs and planks are common item that floats around in a harbour. Packs of seaweed as well.

Would be cool to have 2 flags whit a fishnet between them in shore areas.

darn you have much work to do if you gona try and implant all the request

If you can spawn these when ships sink you could make some nice lifeboats

Nice work !

What happens when you run into it? Does it reduce hull integrity? Would be cool to make some floating mines.

That's a good question - IMO this debris should be a danger to small craft, maybe, but not a U-Boat or a ship.

Great job as usual, Duck, and I hope to see more. Someone mentioned bodies and survivors - this is a good idea. IIRC IL2/Pacific Fighters has downed pilots as units, complete with life rafts - why not in SH3? :hmm: For the life of me I can't figure out why the game's makers thought we needed to be protected from this aspect of war.

The fact is that between 1939 and 1945 the typical seafarer would have a good chance of encountering them at one point or another.

You could create flotsam of bodies and then use code similar to the ship holes to darken them, especially in proximity to tankers...

Try a few Mae wests, inflatables, perhaps a pallet or two, single oil barrels, a mine, , single boards, how about damaged lifeboats with holes...

There's a whole series of macbre things to be done... Change the blue oil slick code to pink or reddish waters.... Parts of crews..... Feeding sharks..... Seagulls having a chum festival...

See if you can switch those dolphins into more toothful predators of the sea....

:hmm:

I'm in for life rafts! BUT if we have life rafts I opt that they're indistructable.

I thinks this is one of the most needed part of the game. The traces of war!

Wow.

It would be really great to get a call from the watch crew that they have spotted some objects and you climb up and find an empty raft or empty lifeboat with your binoculars. Also some other stuff would be great.

Cheers, LGN1
