I was aware that in sh-3 the early VIIC had the wrond deck railings and i thought it was ugly.

I wish we could get just 10% of these sceens and atmosphere in SHV...

Thanks for a link sober

( I apologize to Ubi... for a wrong stucture of priscope-screen of Kriegsmarine... guys from KarlZeiss have forgotten to put it far right )

Link doesn't work...

This 'Tiling' worries me a little bit, things like this are an immersion killer. The good news is; if you turn-off external views, then you won't get to a altitude sufficient enough to ruin the effect. Am I right?

This is better illustrated in the photo in the first post of this thread. The circles I've added here are to show the repitition of the wave formation. Tiling was really apparent in the cloud formations in SH4, the new skies in SH5 look amazingly realistic!

Sharp eye...

Well, it has to be done like that... one 3d pattern x multiplied (repeated)

Otherwise you would get a "hardware hog" with a various 3D paterns in a view... Don't want to sell my car for CPU/GPU that would run the game.

Just don't rise your external view too high - and you could live with that...

(somebody correct me if I'm wrong)

Tilling is a necessary measure to prevent our rigs from "melting" when a very large and complex scenery is on screen. I still think SHV's water effects look stunning and far superior to SHIII/IV ones. Tilling of distant objects is just a little something we'll have to live with, and it doesn't bother me at all.
The lack of decent anti-aliasing and, yeah, you know it, dynamic shadows bother me quite a bit.

this is my theory about the map:
there are several "campaigns", each starting and ending on diferent dates. For example, on the screenshot we see the "mediterranean campaign" that starts on january 41 and ends on september 42.
this campaign comprises 10 patrols (1 iron cross per patrol can be seen on the screenshot), those 10 patrols are grouped on diferent "events" ("mission gibraltar", "conquest of egypt" and "malta surrender") with a diferent amount of patrols each (4, 3 and 3).

the light iron crosses are completed patrols and it seems that the player can choose what "event" he want's to play next, and engages on the first available and not completed patrol of said event.

that being said i think each patrol is scripted up to a certain point (orders and stuff), and the dinamic part of the campaign includes: ships moving from port to port between and during patrols, the already mentioned "ship roster", the date of the patrol starting (you can choose the patrol you want to do, remember?) and maybe some other stuff.

if that's the case, the replayabilty might be really low, i was hoping for a SH3-4ish campaign with extra elements

, and that being said, i hope i'm wrong and the crosses are just "keep up the good work" thingys...

sadly current graphic dx technology, you wont get rid of the repeated tiling, at higher camera elevations its easier to spot, it is getting better though with each new release , and harder to spot low down.

over all imo the water really does look fantastic, over previous sh titles.

Am I wrong in imagining the tiling might be less of an eyesore (for those who put a lot of value on graphics) when you include the 3d wakes to mix it up. I just feel like those repeating patterns might be broken up when there's a convoy of ships tearing up the face of the ocean. Then again, maybe I'm overestimating the real time water reactions.

In any case, it looks infinitely better than the tiling in SH3, and I still play that, so I'm not too worried about it.
