Yes, I was always wondering how much of use are those star charts anyway, especially since they are quite blurry... I could replace them with your charts but I'm not sure would it be any better with such little letters.

Yes, this moment confuses me too.

R U sure it helped COMRADE?!!

Aktungbby, you are quite good at our naval humor. The commander conducts combat training in the navigational warhead of the ship. I will vote for this funniest post by you!

We'll party hearty on the homemade hooch COMRADE!

From the bottom of my heart, COMRADE! Magic liquid for "gentle care" for the "material part", in Russian transcription "SHILO".

On my channel, I found that my videos are watched also by those who find them by the query "Flat Earth". I think Silent Hunter 5 can become a serious argument for flat-earth adherents, explaining why spherical trigonometry works on a flat earth.

One of them asked how ANCIENT sailors navigated only with SEXTANT without tables and almanacs. I replied that it was a mystery to me. This is how I got my first "dislike".

Maybe they'll invite you to the flat earth convention as well!

Yes, they need supporters in this area of ​​knowledge, because astronomy is a big thorn in their "theory". The unpopularity and impracticality of astronomy in our daily life allows a significant number of people to be fooled. We have that not a frequent case when a computer game is opposed to deep ignorance.
