Snow and icebergs

[danlisa]

Icebergs are broken in stock SH3 but were later fixed by GWX and other large mods. They are random occurrences and will be reassessed with each load of the game and are constantly moving.

Snow is modeled in the arctic regions but snow fall is not. Snow fall can be added to the game but you would loose the rain. It's one or the other.

@ The others

Stop shooting the aquatic mammals.

A shame about snowfall,of all the environmental effects to be found in the world around us you would have thought the devs would have included snowfall/blizzards,at least for the Northern areas.I recall a chapter in my book 'iron coffins' where the author speaks of traversing all the way around through the Denmark strait to get into the Atlantic,only to be caught days later in fierce winds and snow,that had to be regularly scraped off the deck,and from beards also
It would have been great to be caught up in similar situations in SHIII,where you would have to be careful how much time you spent on the surface due to the constant barrage from ice winds,and the risk of cracking pipes/valves,similar to pressure effects already in game.I also think it would seriously affect the fatigue of the watch crew,unless they were Vikings and bred for such hardships

Murr , I apprieciate your eagerness for me to find icebergs around grid AE36 was it?,but sadly at the moment I am on my way towards EE65,just NE of the P.O.S. (port of spain).Thanks all the same

Effigy , that is a great shot of icebergs you have

Yeah they look good in scripted missions.

Ah thanks Dan, I just assumed Jim took those pictures while on patrol! You watch, though, He'll come back and say "yes they were all during the same patrol"!

Heard dolphins in my hydrophone while attacking a liner in the med march 1943 PQ CH59. Never saw them though.

/OB

I could/should say, "You haven't seen the size of the home aquarium"

The dolphins and whales were scripted in....but I have come across both, separately ingame.

For dolphins....just go to the Canaries or that Spanish port (can't remember the name) west and slightly north of Gib.

Whales are harder to spot, but they move north east off the coast of Canada and through the GIUK gap.

The icebergs are a quite regular occurence.

When I raised scope to ID it, I --> :rotfl: It was a 'berg.

Only other time I've seen them was just a few days ago. A group of 5 I think. I snapped a pic:



I still haven't seen dolphins or whales. :p

looks like one of Dr. Evils lairs. Muuhahahahahaaa.:rotfl:

I've heard whales while manning the hydrophone but haven't seen them yet. I was almost tempted to follow the sound but heard a ship so I went in that direction instead.

That depends on what configuration ingame your playing.

Sealife/marine sounds are incorporated into some mods.
