Are port buoy red and green lights backwards?

Yeah, well, at least they could agree to these two, which is already a miracle specially when politicians get involved.

Yup and they also shut down the lighthouses and ofc total endarkenment of cities was ordered too.
So basically if we leave at one of the French bases it would be completely dark, no bouys ond no lighthouses either.
Tbh, that would add very much immersion to the game, at least imho.

As much as I love realism I think this area can stay same.Leaving and entering ports at night with lighthouses and buoys lit up is something I would not wanna lose for realism sake.

Yeah, I can already imagine myself slamming the boat into something while leaving port because it's pitch black.

Ahead sloooooooooooow and WO please give us warning about land ahead.We have land unit spotted message....why not land ahead message??

[Mister_M]

Perhaps we could add some position lights for the escort ship which is sailing in and out the naval base, in order to help you to navigate (follow the escorter) without buoys and lighthouses...

But then, how the escort ship is able to navigate without naval marks at night ? ...

[Wolfstriked]

What exactly is the escort ship?I see the mark on map and waited there for a bit but no ship showed up

[Mister_M]

This is the boat which is supposed to show you the way when you're entering or leaving a harbour, and escorting you until you've reached the harbour or the open sea. This boat should be scripted in the SCR campaign file. It may be a destroyer, a torpedo boat or an armed trawler.

How do you use them though? Like I stop on the escort dot thing on map and wait but nothing happens.And how do you know its there to escort you?

EDIT: and it would be kool if say at 1941 or 42 or some year chosen the buoys go out forcing you to actually need the escort.As you said a flashing light on the escort ship would be awesome.

If you want some historical accuracy (as it seems you want) you’ll have to delete all the harbors buoys lights, as well as all lighthouses lights!
Just because during war time, none of them were working … for the blackout
It will solution your buoys red/green trouble

[Wolfstriked]

Nah...I said earlier that its better to leave them on for beauty reasons.Afterall the British are not invading our ports so why would we even have to do this.If they ever try an attack on our ports than maybe we will reconsider.

[Mister_M]

Indeed, why remove buoys inside or near the large harbours which were protected with heavy artillery and air coverage ?


About lighthouses, I know that they could be lighted up for the safety of friendly capital ships which were passing nearby. But I don't know if they were doing this for the passage of U-Boots...
