London Port - feedback

[Vogel]

Greetings.

 

I've seen some complaints regarding the correctness of the newly added London port. I don't know if this will change anything, but please add all factual errors that you can positively prove are wrong with the port. Some things can probably be changed, but it all depends if WG want to develop it more, or are happy with the way it look right now. I haven't seen it myself, but will have a look later today.

 

So if you have any comments regarding historical correctness, errors in the architecture, etc., pleae write a comment about it, preferably with a source that confirms your claim.

It is not 100% accurate just like Hawaii port or the New York is not and any other port meant to repressant an IRL location. 

 

They are just meant to look like it, not be a copy.

I haven't even seen it myself 

 

But some people had some complaints regarding it, so I thought it might be beneficial to get some of them, and perhaps see if anyone higher up in the system are interested.

Fairly accurate representation of Tower Bridge & surrounding area

 

[VonBroich]

 

Cannon Street railway bridge and station building are missing.

 

You have London Bridge and Southwark Bridge included. Cannon Street bridge should be between them.

I demand that you fix it so my Yamato cannot be displayed in this port since she is too high, too wide and of too deep a draft to make it that far up river.

Close enough to not really worry about it

[TheCinC]

In terms of historical accuracy, the point Kittakami jokingly makes is actually spot on.

Anything larger than a cruiser would never have made it to that spot.

And even HMS Belfast probably only made it without any fuel, ammunition or stores.

While I like the port, at least for the holidays, I would think Scapa Flow, Portsmouth, the Firth of Forth or Spithead would make much more sense.

The first and last ones especially.

Scapa Flow was not only the base of the Home Fleet for a long time, but also home to at least some US capital ships in both World Wars, as well as to the Hochseeflotte after WW1.

Indeed, some of those ships are still (partially) at the bottom of the Flow.

Spithead was used for coronation fleet reviews, including the one for King George VI, during which Germany was represented by Admiral Graf Spee, France by Dunkerque, the Netherlands by HNLMS Java, Japan by Ashigara and the US by USS New York, so it would make some sense to have foreign warships there.

Scapa Flow and Spithead are mostly bodies of water, so they might be relatively easy to create as well.

London? Has not been a naval base since the days of sail. Scapa Flow, a cold remote area, perfect!

[YesYesYall]

I like monument and traitors gate, can t really spot anything else

[sgt_tankslapper]

The London port looks OK. It's not how it looks today on the south bank, but is reasonable for 60 or 70 years ago.

 

Having sailed through Scapa Flow, it would be hard to make it look good in the game. The Orkneys are pretty but low lying apart from Hoy, and there isn't much in the way of distinctive landmarks to use.

[Ferry_25]

Yeah! Make it historical perfectly complete in all detail: broken chain with a burning fleet on the background! If they'd do that I'll never change the port again and I even start grinding the RN cruiserline!

[Hades_warrior]

First screenshot with Christmas decoration of port was nice, and I liked it. But after I realize its ugly and dumb because its from diferent angle where are no any decorations, just some old buildings...

[D_Striker]

high tier BBs and CVs might have a hard time squeezing thru the bridge when selected for battle. but that is just me

[Jethro_Grey]

I like the Port, it looks nice and is atmospheric.

Can't say anything about accuracy tho, so it's just my opinion.

London is my home, and I am proud of it, warts and all (I love the way that all nationalities rub along together as an international city).

 

The new London port is a dump.

 

London isn't the most beautiful city in the world, but it's not the shitty hole full of warehouses and cranes that you make it look here.

Compare this to St. Petersburg or New York for example. The ships sit by loads of nice landmarks and it's bright and airy.

 

A controversial line of RN cruisers and now the shabby  London port.

FU wargaming. Stick your bloody game where the sun don't shine.

London looked worse than that in the 40's.  They've done a good job, except...

 

...how did they get that through that gap!?

 

[creamgravy]

Malta grand harbour >>> Gibraltar. 

 

Personally I like London. It's chaotic, messy with tons of character.  Liverpool was Britain’s main convoy port and Western Approaches Command in WW2 > http://www.liverpoolwarmuseum.co.uk/ Certainly that's worth a port model too.

 

[wongman66]

I was born not to far from this part of London. I like the 40's look.

The only thing missing really is St Pauls Cathedral which dominted the City of London skyline before all the modern buidlings started to spring up.

[triumphgt6]

I thought I saw St Paul's - just not quite where I expected it!

[Kartoffelmos]

...how did they get that through that gap!?

 

By using lots of lubricants .

 

I don't think that little details like the ship being too big to fit is what Bagel is looking for though.
