Default Reflections - no ships

Strange thing - Was making periscope observation and two destroyer shadows (reflections) appeared on the surface. No ships, just reflections of them. Nearest vessel was 2k meters. Went to external view and the shadows were still on the service. No wakes, no ships - just shadows moving away. They had gone on each side of the scope. Tried to recreate it but couldn't. Really eerie.

That's creepy. Did they also throw shadows of depth charges? Not making fun of you... Did they behave like real DDs?

Should be the Tirpitz.

That would be one of Itchy's awesome skins. Just wait until you see them at dusk/dawn.

Although I haven't had the time to check everything, what I have seen I am enjoying! I've just started a few of the single missions, and thanks to the Grey Wolves, I now have a song stuck in my head, that goes like this-

"Ice, Ice, Baby!" LOL

When I first started the mission, my orders were pretty clear. We would be starting out SW of Iceland, weather was not good to begin with, already raining! We should also be on the lookout for icebergs as the mission progresses. A small convoy would be our target.

So I started out, we were running on the surface. Cold as heck, rain falling, and as I look at my Watch Crew, everyone is wearing regular uniforms, no rain gear! My first thought was simple-

"BERNARD!!!!"

That knucklehead never handed out the rain gear, I swear, when I get back to port, I'm transferring him to the Army, on the Russian Front. He can dig trenches around Stalingrad until the war ends for all I care!:rotfl:

Like I said, having a great time, and really appreciate this wonderful mod! And to the "Wolves", don't let all the gripping about this and that get to you!(From what I've seen on other threads) The computer gods created the uninstall button for a good reason!
