This games never ceases to surprise me. Sounds like we need an oceanographic survey of the SHIII sea floor to mark out sea mounts etc!

Hartmann · 12-04-06, 10:30 PM

wow!!

now we need a Bathyscaphe submarine mod. or made a survey of volunteers that sails around making sounding with atlas echelot device and put it together in a database. but we could need years and years..

the ships arrive to the bottom when are sunk ?? :hmm: could be nice see a battleship at the sea floor.

It must be able to mod it.
Even if its a real huge work to put realism into it.

It would be so cool if we had true depth of the ocean down to about 500 meters. The subs diving range. Or at least in common fighting/hunting areas.

Then edit the map so it become a real chart whit depth marks etc that we can use as an accurate navigator tool.

Also if it could be possible to use the later active sonar ping to determine the distance to an underwater cliff or mountain when you are submerged.

Sorry, you misunderstood. I was asking in which it occurred, SH3 or TGW?

Iam using Grey wolfs latest edition.

But iam not sure if they have modded the seafloor to show up in different heights than the stock.

So i assume its the stock even if i use the gw mod.

TarJak · 12-08-06, 01:01 AM

I had a look last night in vanilla and it is the same.

Jimbuna · 12-08-06, 04:46 AM

Would it be possible to give an exact location TarJak or is it as simple as looking at the change in colour on the navigation map ? (I would really like to see this for myself )

TarJak · 12-08-06, 05:01 AM

It's pretty much anywhere there is a big deviation. If you check out the post with the map I went where the map said it was almost due south of La Spezia then looked at a couple of other places and there it was again.

danlisa · 12-08-06, 05:24 AM

I really wish that SH3 had relief maps like this one, however they haven't done a bad job copying this.

I'll check it out tonight as I'm on my way home to Lorient in my Type IXb having dealt out some punishment to the Soviet Navy and Merchant ships/tankers in the Black Sea.

Nope. Started at home port of Lorient, cruised down the Spanish coast, entered the Med via the Strait of Gibraltar, past Sicily, and headed north into the Aegean Sea, up through the Dardanelles, then through Istanbul, and into the Black Sea. Total distance there was approx 3400 miles one way. I think the range of the IXb is around 12,000 miles right? Ran out of torps and no 105mm HE deck gun ammo left so heading home.
