Very Cool guys!

Would someone be willing to host the file on their FF page so that I can download it? I've tried getting it from both links that were supplied in the first post & they're about as useful as sticking your finger in a light socket!

Please & thank you...

Give me a few and I'll pump it up to FF.

Those screenshots make a chill go down my spine. Sometimes i wonder if this is a just war...

Working the animations sometimes makes me cringe.
It gets so much more personnal and up close.
And I do have one animation to finish that really hits me hard.
Just the way the guy moves brings back memories from
a very trying time in my life.
I will finish it though.

Don´t be too optimist, the british planes don´t doubt in launch a voley of rockets , bombs or depth charges to the life boats.

and i kwow it by experience ...taking some screenshots and a plane try to blow me out of the water near of the rubber boats.

Could this possibly be because the rafts were near to your boat ?

As the Life Boats are not seen by the game?
The rocket attack was on your U-Boat!
As in real life?
The Life Boats just happened to be there.
Priority number one was,
Sink the U-Boats.
Sorry about the survivors,
but it was total war.
Your ship went down?
You most probably died.

Convoys did not turn about to pick up survivors.
If you were luck to be hit at the lead of a convoy?
You MIGHT get picked up.

If a U-Boat was under you while in the water?

[difool2]

Another interesting thing: I shot a small tanker, and instantly blew it in half. It sunk very quickly, and no lifeboats were seen! I don't know how you connected sinking time to lifeboat frequency, but that's pretty impressive.


One thing which would be cool is if the survivors used models of the wooden lifeboats you see on the ships' decks, along with the rubber ones. Sometimes you see wrecked wooden boats floating upside-down in the water.
