Hello friends, is no moon at nigth in GWX always partial cloudy skies and no moon , is a bug?, thanks

No, the moon is there in GWX. You're just cathing it on moonless nights or have the bad luck of overcast clouds...believe me it's there and very pretty rising over the horizon when you're patroling....

You do know that there are times that the moon is not going to show right?

Not sure how much you know about astronomy but what you describe is called a New Moon..

New Moon - The Moon's unilluminated side is facing the Earth. The Moon is not visible.

As for partly cloudy...sounds normal to me depending on the season.I have had it go for days on end with nothing but clouds,clouds,clouds.

Bad luck!? No way! You're a silent Gray Wolf! You don't want the verdammnt moon shining on you when you make an approach to a convoy!

Trust me, the moon is in GWX and it is NOT your friend.

Yep, there is definitely a moon in gwx, and it uses a nice hi-res texture. It even reflects off the water, its very pretty.

Personally I don't mind a bit of moon in gwx - otherwise its so damn dark you can't see the ships, even if your lookouts manage to spot them.

You can count on the moon assisting the escorts in detection but only providing you with better quality screenshots

The moon is a great eye-candy but deadly later in the war against well trained and equiped DDs.

Sail up to Murmansk and all, you get the sun and the moon in one view

Here is a scenario picture showing a lonely steam merchant whit the moon just above horizon in the background at the moment they are hit by an Eel.

And what did that Eel do?

Well a big hole in the hull

The moon is there! Finally I've got a reason to post this pic

IceGrog · 01-12-07, 10:45 AM

Nice, except it's the big huge moon from the stock game. I always use AIL's Small Moon Mod.

angelherrera2 · 01-12-07, 06:46 PM

wow, looks great in the sreenshot , thanks for responses friends ,ill wait to see the mon

elite_hunter_sh3 · 01-12-07, 07:23 PM

wat mod is that for the hole in the hull

Vikinger · 01-12-07, 07:54 PM

Its my own

I experiment a lot whit different damage textures that i make.

Hopefully i will soon reach the point where i have the guts to make it public

But its totaly impossible to make a good looking torpedo damage and the damage from a canon/gun. Coz they share same texture file.

But i dont care how it looks when a shell hit something. I want better eyecandy for a torpedo hit instead

This is my latest creation.

Only thing i dont like whit it is the white area around the hole. iam gona try and make it so it show up more darker so it simulate paint that have falling of the hull and smoke/dust from the impact.

But on another note ive seen on other real pictures that some impacts leave a white area around the blast point.
