Cartoonish?

Sorry, but this is much closer to real nav-maps than the SH3-maps.

Looks good to me, they've got Japan in the right place at any rate!

I just hope I don't get asked to patrol 'inland' like I did with SH3 from time to time.

This is exactly what was needed!! FINALLY!! A map that looks like a CHART and not like a GPS shot of the earth. Cartoonish??? Man, just search around the web for nautical charts and you will see that they look like this. This adds a HUGE amount to inmersion in my opinion, now you see your sub progress in a real nautical chart, just as if you were looking at it in the desk of your sub. GREAT JOB!

As for the world being a cylinder....I wish that had already been done in SH2 because that gave us serious headaches back when doing the Pacific Aces mod...we had to set Midway on a incorrect location because the earth ended in the time-change line

I have started to make a Google Earth map of Subbases, Importent Places, Lost US sub locations, Jap bases and lighthouse posisions.

If some of you want it i can upload it to File Shack or something.

No Darwin, Broome or Canis! They put in Melbourne!!!! (This is SH4, not On the Beach!)

I hope there is a Bridge in Sydney otherwise, the clock has been turned back too far and were in the depresion!

The devs have to leave the modders something to do , or this might not be the final version .

Will the Eastern ports be silulated as well ? Or are they just put on the map for the looks of it ?
