Default I found Flipper!

I've heard these characters often at the sonar station, but have never seen them. Finally, on a brisk Winter morning, pulling away from a milkcow rendezvous, I spotted Flipper!

I hear them every second patrol but have yet to clap eyes on one. And I have burned a serious amount of diesel chasing down the bearings

Okay, here is a special screenshot for those of you who have never seen the glorious bounty of creation while out wrecking havoc upon Allied shipping as you watch for beautiful explosions, flying bodies, screams, and burning oil slicks!

Could dolphins maybe be cloned and modded to create some sort of follower dolphin that swims with the boat?...
Like set the dolphin to enemy or something and have it want to chase you. That way maybe you could have dolphins swimming alongside the boat. :hmm:

On a related topic, how the bejesus did the modder of those whales manage to create a totally new particle emitter for the whale`s blowhole spray, most impressive work and great attention to detail
