Tides of War

East,
Why is it that in the loading pages of WAR NEWS no deckmounts are visible on the platforms ?

Also, another issue for example with the LFN destroyer escort is that when you look up the mast from the bridge point of view, you don't see the ensign !? Would it be worth to consider it for the patch ?

I am stuck with those damn speedboats of the LFN in?surface campaign, you know, that way too hard mission of sinking 4 subs with only four eels in just a minute ! You can't even steer these wild horses and the subs dive almost at the very instant of approaching them. You just can't get the eels aimed at a barn gate ! Got a hint ?

Lawrence, I suffered the same problem on that mission.  Lots of help was forthcoming here
Good luck on that one - it's one of the most satisfying to complete.

Practice firing your torps from a distance & don't hang around to check whether you hit before moving on.

Sharp Eye Lawrence.  You'll notice no guns in the flyby's either.  We decided to portray the ships "censored" in keeping with the wartime climate.  We also (flybys) used the non-outfitted ships as examples.  In the video they are on their way for arming.  (did you buy that?)
The ensign is something that was brought up and will be remedied.

No, East, I wouldn't buy that, to be upfront. And you know what, I am in the industry of naval shipbuilding and I have served in the Navy ! Tough luck, mate, but good try. Anyway, if we are browsing a WAR JOURNAL we certainly suppose a fully outfitted vessel. Or have you ever browsed a JANE'S and saw a single silhouette WITHOUT the mounts ? Of course not. And the WAR JOURNAL is supposed to resemble just that. Same for the flybys, very very seldom, esp. in wartimes, were the platforms to sail distances just get outfitted with their mounts elsewhere than their yard. Like I said: good try but tell this the Army ! Consider a remedy for the patch, O.K. ?
And another thing, I want to NAME my boat; this should be possible with not too much of patching necessary. Thanks !
