S-Boats = T.A.R.D.I.S. (Dr. Who fans will understand)

Quagmire · 12-08-07, 06:50 PM

Is it just me or does the command room of the S-Boat seem spacious and roomy? Yet it is the smallest sub in the fleet!

Have the Philly Project boys managed to shift dimensions when retro-fitting the S-Boat. Or has the good Doctor shared some Galliferian technology with the USN!

It just seems much larger on the inside than on the outside.

I niticed this too, but not sure that the S-boat had dobble hull. That the with on the outside is almost the same inside.....And if you see the boat from strait in the front, is it circular or oval?

Oh, it's pics of s-boats...I thought that were pics of Doctor Who and the TARDIS. No need to see...ehehheh Kidding....:p

I think the point about the empty S boat interior is that there was nothing it, ie no equipment to speak of they were as basic as you can get.

Looks to me the S-boat was actually quite wide. Since it is not a double hull boat, what you see outside, is what you get inside.

It seems these boats were quite prone to getting sunk by friendly boats.

I love the S-boats Im glad the devs included them in the end.
My first SH4 Kill was in an S-boat, I took out an aircraft) with the deckgun - I went to man the AA gun but quickly realised i didnt have one, but i still go the sucker - quite jammy i thought
