I want the modders to make it pitch and roll so much, Dieter gets tossed overboard...

mean-minded little goober that he is

SabreHawk · 03-29-10, 04:33 PM

Actually in my mind, it'd probably have taken at least another 6 months to a year to make it what we all would have wanted and have complained about.
And had the devs been granted that time,(and money) and the game were still not yet released, what do ya think we'd all be yellin about?

Yep you geussed it.

missed that point will check.

Yep. Only the upper bunk shouldn't be there.

I dont have the book,.... But then again I have no Radio or Gramaphone in my Sub!! Better off getting a book next time...

I am not a hard core sub fan, I mostly play flight sims but the BOB/ ETO is of big interest to me so I decided to buy this, and because of its great graphics. I had played Silent Hunter before but for not very long and it was in the pacific and that was years ago...o and watched my dad play silent service 2

But I do really enjoy the game, I like walking around the Sub, maybe because I never played the previous ones as much as you guys so I do not miss the features they had..so far the things in the game are very enjoable and for some reason I like walking from the top of the conning tower into the command room to dive after spotting a convoy to attack

edit

one thing I can not work out, is how to set the depth I want to dive to?

If you have not modded the interface to the old stlye SH4 then press ctrl and the display will change to advanced.... press f1 to get key presses.... or better still mod the keymapper..

Yes the area where the wardroom is there, we just have to figure how to yank out that upper bunk.

And leave someone without a place to sleep?

SabreHawk · 03-29-10, 11:13 PM

Well no one's used it since we started this damn war, might as well have a place to sit and eat in peace. Well till the next watch goes on duty.

But this has got me wondering about this the only bunks totally not in use.

I've heard there where only 26 people on board, that's about half of a full complement. Thus they wouldn't miss 1 bunk

Judging from the books and photografic material I have seen over the years, I also think they did a quite accurate reproduction of a type VIIC interior. Early types VIIA/B were somehow different in terms of machinery used although the general layout remains the same.

Too bad only one type VII still remains in existence today, and it's a late war type VIIc/41. Some years ago, there were some talks to rise all the boats scuttled at the end of the war in operation Deadlight. There's a certain hunger of steel and lead which is not "poisoned" by the radiation released from nuclear experiments from 1945 onwards. Metals fused before that day and preserved underwater are free of these nuclear pollutants and hence have a very high value for building scientific equipment to the point it would cover the expense of raising a wreck from the bottom of the sea.

Although it's scary to think all those boats being cut into pieces, at least it would be a good occasion for a documented study on several other germans submarines of the era of whom only a few blueprints survive.

Anyone notice the spare torps under the decking in the forward torpedo room?

pythos · 03-30-10, 09:55 PM

Yep, I saw those my first time walking through after getting my comp up to where I could walk through. I saw those and was like "oh wow that is cool"
