The Crews Have US Marine Corps' Belt Buckles!

I saw a post on the Ubi SH4 site that the crews had USMC belt buckles. I haven't been able to check yet. Has anyone spotted this?

Sounds about right. The awards/medals in SH3 were accurate and well done. Awards in SH4 are corny and nonsensical.

In SH4 the Purple Heart, hardly an rare award such as the CMoH, is drawn incorrectly with a star in the middle of a purple heart instead of a side image of George Washington.

A 10 year old kid could have done better.

It's true, it's true! Oh my God!

fullmetaledges,

Thank you, now all is explained--every oddity and programming idiocy. Tell it to the Marines, they'll believe anything.:rotfl:

who knows where they got the idea to include that, FYI the marine belt buckles are open faced and the one that they used is a novelty one.

When I was a kid this would have made perfect sense to me. I wanted to join the Marines, because they would obviously be the people who rode in submarines.

BTW: Hi, everybody. Old SH1 player checking in here - watching the progress of this game.

Happy to see me, sailor, or is that just a brass belt buckle you're wearing
