Nothing more... yes you're right, the external works, the flag works....

All I can say is HOLY COW!!!!!!!! WOWOWOWOWO!!!
:h uh:

This game BLOWS ME AWAY!!! I just did a quick practice mission.

Now I see what you're all talking about when you say "MOD THE GAME!"..

My gosh I need to get used to Imperial units lol!!!

But mostly.. the feel of this game is incredible!!! WIDESCREEN!!!! WORKS!! YAAAAHH!! The beautiful blue water...
THE SOUND OF THE ENGINES!!! they really are excellent..

And yes, while I enjoy SH3 very much and the U-boat campaign.. there is something very different about this..
Perhaps it's because my father (who died in 2008) was on a Destroyer in WW2 and I have pictures of him as a young man sailing out to sea..

With this game, just standing on the bridge, looking out into the clear Pacific (as opposed to the cold North Atlantic).. seeing the American Flag . as the boat sails out.. wow!!! It seems much more serious to me.. No disrespect to the German U-boat sailors.. Just that to me that is a different world... other than what I read, can't really connect to it.. But this.. just seems like I'm watching my father as he sails off... as a young yo ung 19 year old BOY!!! The music box playing some old American tunes of the era...

Ok I must be crazy... but I think I'll be playing this for a while

THANK YOU to all the modders out there!!!

Looks like my work here is done.

I see I've helped convert another to SH4.

Have fun and ask questions if you have any. I'm here to help.

Oh...and taking your boat to 19 Feet is a LOT different than taking it to 19 Meters.
