The grey 'X's represent ships until you zoom in on them.

That is more like what I was expecting.

Only Lawlor Island (the island just east of McNabs Island on my map) is missing. I guess it still isn't shallow at the Eastern Passage as well. Drakes Gut, the area between the two islands, is only about 9 feet deep. Look up CSS Tallahassee, I'm still trying to figure out how that was done.

That is correct. I'm not really complaining, I'm just irritated that the developers couldn't look at a map. I wasn't expecting an exact relica of Halifax's facilities, just a reasonable representation, but to put the the whole kit and kaboodle on McNabs Island is...well, just wrong.

I guess the guys who worked on SH5 did look at a map. Wish my rig could play the game now that the DRM is gone.


PS. Query: Does SH5 have searchlights for harbour defenses? Just wondering, because Halifax had a bunch of them.
