Something Odd

not entirely true : Nautilus departed Hawaiian waters for her second war patrol, a special troop transport mission of three weeks duration, 8 August. Sailing with submarine Argonaut and carrying the Second Raider Battalion under Lieutenant Colonel Evans F. Carlson (the Marine Raiders, or "Carlson's Raiders") she arrived off Makin Atoll on 16 August to stage a raid to divert Japanese attention from the Solomon Islands.

But anyway i too noticed that they wore USMC belt buckles but never really computed how strange that was... Possibly they swiped them from Marine stores while at port for souvineers lol

Maybe, but I wasn't talking about Marine Raiders or passengers like that, I was talking about the regular crew of the submarine.

Maybe, Maybe. This whole thing was a prank to fool me? Why? I like historical accuracy and we shouldn't play around with accuracy like that as a prank, we might hurt somebody or the feelings of someone else or the historical accuracy of the game, or essence of the game, or some vet.

Indeed, i was just being a tad sarcastic. The buckles are the same even in the stock SH4 1.5 so it's something the creators modeled into the game, but for what purpose i have no idea. maybe there is some significance to the crew wareing the Marine Corps belts that we do not know, a piece of history UBI thought to put into the game... or it was just one of the many mistakes UBI's made...

This issue was noticed and fixed by more than one modder. The larger mod sets have this and many other little issues fixed.

I noticed the error while playing We Dive at Dawn mod. I don't know why they haven't rectified it.
USMC is not a British service.

Indeed, Tabby..

Ray; some, yet not all. FOTRS doesn't fix it for being not worthy of work. Most of the crew sits in darker corners anyway so you won't notice, so what the heck.

.o(Should I mention that we usually are on U.S. fleet boats in this game, not the British Navy, or not?)
