Easter Eggs in SHIV Addon

It's the Flying Dutchman. Someone posted a video of the encounter a few months ago. I think the Dutchman even fired off a volley of its cannons.

oopps! Just saw your post. Yep it was funning and I couldn't catch them either.

There are two different textures for the Type IX. Navigate to the /data/submarine/nss_Uboat9 folder, and look for the DDS files with the T01 and T02 line in them. The game only uses the first one, but you can always rename the second one so that it shows up in-game. The only drawback to this is the Tarnmatte anti-sonar coating won't show up when it's fitted.

Possibly another easter egg or personal remark from the artist?

In the Textures/Tnormal/Tex, there's a file called Captainroom_captainslog and in it, there's one blank page, with "In the sumer, we go to make history" written on it. I tried looking for it ingame, both US & German offices, but didnt find it. :hmm:

You'll see it very briefly when opening up the captain's log in either office.

Aye, I knew it was somewhere in the logbook, but never got a glimpse of it. But, I claim this as an easter egg! Now, give me my cookie!

Have any of you met MacArthur yet...?

I still haven't been to New York to see the Statue of Liberty yet..anyone got SS's. The Ice Shelf is pretty cool. The artic forest...not really a egg, but the ice covered tree's OK. Still haven't found the autumn forest. I assume it's tree's changing colors. Course the Golden Gate Bridge is cool.
Seen the Dolphins once in SH4, but I think it's common in 3.

Is he really in the game? If so, where?

You stay awake 24\72 hrs playing like some of these geeks do and, you'll start seeing things too.

Spend some time in the Luzon Straits in mid 42'. It will show as a warship - but the greenish glow gives it away at a fairly good distance.

Hello. About easter eggs, the first time that was playing the SH 4, i was sailing with my Balao class along the surroundings of the Philippines when I found a sign in the radar. On having approached to see what it was, I saw a galleon of the 18th century!! Approaching more I could see to the nose of a transparent blue, with his crew, apparels, cannons... The curious thing is that I have not returned to see nevermore, and it that I have installed the game several times, and I it have finished several times also. Can someone say to me if it has seen it also? Greetings from Zaragoza, Spain.
