..or do my crew have longer beards after a long patrol?

Is this modelled in game?

Semtex · 09-20-09, 03:30 PM

yes. but little bit longer

dude i think its just you...

Seriously though i dont think this is moddeled in game, theres only a single face texture per crewman (well a few shared between your crew anyway).

For their beards to grow you would need at least 2 textures per face (ie clean shaven & fully bearded) and blend between them over the course of a patrol. As far as i know the engine does not support this. It would be awesome if it did though, you could even age your boat, imagine your sub becoming more rusted and weatherbeaten over a long patrol. That would be damn cool

The longest patrol ive done was 94 days and my crew were just as babyfaced after 94 days at sea as when we left port.

Damn. Must lay off the schnapps.

Not modelled in game but I'll look after your schnapps for you until your convinced.

Funny that, I only notice the beards on returning from a patrol too and not when leaving. I thought they grew too! Apparently not. Probably just because I expect them to be there, only looking for them when sailing into home port.
