[BS4] SeaWolf7 Players 1,818 posts 10,056 battles Report post #1 Posted August 24, 2019 Visually this is now doing my head in so thought I should share..... So this is the current visual spectacle of the capital of England as it looks now.... Aaaaaand this is what we have in wows: I would really like to see this Port updated as IMPO its easily the most bland , boring and totally inaccurate one of the lot....and yes that is a helter scelter slide from Bognor Regis just below the tower of London.... Seriously it conveys NOTHING of the atmosphere of London or the river Thames, I was born there and its a bit of an insult actually. I know WG have been busy creating underwater monstrosity's to send us all mad but please could someone take some time and actually design something that's visually spectacular? WG colour palate seems to consist of GREY, BLUE and GreyBlue and nothing else. Zipangu is grey dull and boring and used to be colourful and bright with floating pettles in the wind etc.... Nearly all the maps we play are colourless these days as well...... GET SOME COLUR IN THE GAME PLEASE. Would you rather keep historical accuracy on these ports or have some updated ports which represent modern day accuracy? Over to you..... 4 2 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My point is that it is VERY bland and im tired of the dull palate that WG have reverted to in this game.... Would you guys rather not a bit more colour or ad least relative action? Like the Dunkirk map, bombs and explosions etc just give it life and colour....this is So boring ....no? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clean, quick, no nonsense, basically you need the port to " re fuel ( metaphor for " you need to focus up, and get the flags and what ever organised ), get your head in order after looking how bad we where in our last game, and get back out killing.

genosse Players 460 posts 6,789 battles Report post #15 Posted August 24, 2019 And while you are at it, remove the German national anthem from Hamburg please. A Kriegsmarine ship happily idling in the Hamburg harbor, while I am taking a dump in the next room, listening to the Deutschlandlied — that feels out of place on so many levels. Thanks! ;) 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am due a visit to London soon, have two kids to take to the British Museum and the Belfast now. Belfast, is an awesome visit but I think you need more than a 1/2 day to take it in, I can not remember how long the official guided visit is ( I did it around 2003 ish??? ) So I recommend a picnic next to it on the dock before you do the official thing.

[BS4] SeaWolf7 Players 1,818 posts 10,056 battles Report post #23 Posted August 24, 2019 Ok I have emended original post as I can see there are quite a few of you out there who like the historical feel of some of the ports (its about the only historical accuracy left I suppose in the game these days come to think of it) so I guess my question is ....do you want historical ports or modern vibrant colourful ones? Regardless I think they need updating IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
