AG-51_Razor Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Would it be possible to make the wakes of ships more visible from a distance? The bow waves look awesome but there is still very little visual evidence that a ship, the size of a carrier especially, has passed by doing 15-20 knots. IRL they leave a wake of churned water for a mile or so that can be seen, in good weather, for several miles away. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

mjolner Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) I certainly agree with this particularly now with CVN 74 and Hornet carrier ops. When I am making my Base leg well within 1 mile of the ship and cannot see a wake it kinda kills immersion. That wake is a great visual cue as to how your turn is coming along. It is a minor detail I know and of course not a high priority. It might be a resources thing but it would be nice. Spent many years in the Navy and I can tell that a ships wake can go quite a ways given a low sea state. Edited June 27, 2018 by mjolner

mjolner Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) wakes change based on your gfx details for the sea. Did not know this. Is it affected under visibility range or water detail? edit: Well after a closer look and fooling with settings ( the only setting I could increase was AA and Vis range which had no effect ) I noticed that the ships wake is at 1 nm, so can't really complain. Could it be longer in certain circumstances, sure but that would be a bit silly to complain about. Edited June 27, 2018 by mjolner
