Replay markers
 
Hi,


Does anyone know what exactly are the replay markers (i.e. the green ticks on the upper part of the timeline, and red ones on the lower one).



I believe that the green one is a weapon firing (definitely torpedo launch, possibly gun?), but don't know what the red one is?



Cheers,

The green are weapons firing. I have not done very much surface attacking, so I do not know if it follows that also. The red are torpedo impacts and/or ship sinkings. One save, they all line-up with what happened, and the next, they are "off" a bit. I suspect Time Compression may play a role in that. Saving in the middle of the mission also seems to influence the marks.

Thanks so they are pretty useless then - because I'm pretty sure that when I fire 2 torpedoes, I don't have 4 impacts :D. And at times, I have red markers in middle of nowhere, like day 10 when I attacked on day 8 and day 11..



I'll go by the green marks I guess, which is what I was doing so far. Was just curious what the red ones were.

My problem with the red ones, is you don't know if it's a torpedo impact, a sinking, or an attack by another ship or plane that caused an "event" to be registered. If you are trying to capture a ship sinking, you have to choose quite a bit out in front of the marker, since the marker is from when a ship "dies", and has usually just about gone beneath the waves. Seems to me that planes being shot down might also register there... I do not remember now...
