How can a game be this good and This bad..Screenies

I've seen a few screens of the "flying boat" strange it's never happened to me.
My S boat seems to ride along fairly normal, maybe its only certain classes in
certain conditions.

Shad your probably correct its only when you get into a real force ten that this glitch happenes when the height of the wave and its trough is higher/lower than the boat.....From what I have observed all the submarines have a "Touch" of bouyancy, they will move up and down as if in a swell but its very minimal....When your boat is in a big storm it becomes apparent that this up/down is just not enough to compensate for the high/low point of the BIG waves. Thus you start to ride on "Air".....

Yeah it looks very good in the 1st screeny D6. Didn't SHIII have that same "Flying Sub" problem at first? It's been so long that I can't remember... CRS I guess. LOL Even with GWX I still see the "Flying Sub" om occasion with high seas, though not as bad as what you showed us.

AND NOW.... Will somebody please shootme! I took the plunge today and bought SH4, even tho I said I was going to wait. It's not installed yet but will probably be in the not too distant future.

it's all you guys fault for showing screehshots and doing mods...... But I forgive you all.

:rotfl:

Yep, the "ugly" is pretty ugly

But I don't think I've ever seen anything quite that bad when watching my boat or any other ship with the external cam in real-time.

Yet I have seen my boat and many other ships "airborne" like that, and every time it was caused by going to external cam, pausing, then moving the camera in for the view I wanted. Not always, but often, the ship will be totally out of the water. I think it depends on how rough the seas are.

If I then un-pause, and instantly re-pause, the ship is back in the water where it belongs.

Did you pause for that screenie, then move the camera somewhere else to compose the shot?

I suffer the same ugly thing (flying USS Tambor):

Annoying... but I have to recognize that with 1.2 patch, I can finally enjoy the game.

Yes, I did.

Waiting for 1.3

In real life they would probably dive in that rough weather wouldn't they? I would anyway to save the crew a battering.

It would depend on the mission. If it wouldn't slow them up too much or drain the battery when they might need it soon, they would dive. I have read of USN boats running on the surface with everyone below and keeping watch through a raised 'scope. The problem was that the exaggerated motion through the 'scope made even the strongest stomachs feel ill. British boats couldn't use the 'scope while surfaced unless the engines were stopped as the vibration made the view too blurred.
