So the Panzerschiffe is rocking back and forth like it's in a storm and your poor u-boat is bouncing up and down like a cork in what we English-speakers call "safe harbor".

None of which is your fault, of course, and I apologize for going off on a tangent, but it was so obvious to me that it hurt. I'll try not to do it again.

Oh, I saw that wake! The speed limit in harbor is 5 knots!
I totally understand your sentiments, when you're scrapping more shots than you actually think are useable I have to admit the SH5 'quirks' are a tad annoying. I'm committed to hide these unrealistic flaws from the camera as best I can in the final film but I could sure do with some more ballast to weigh that boote down, I'm guessing there's no modding solution to it as I'm sure it'd be fixed by now. And I saw Bernard in the engine room in port, so ermm, yeh.

Thanks for the input, as they were a test I didn't play with any speeds or effects in Vegas, this will of course not be the case in the full film.

I was also playing with Dynamic Environment 'Darker Nights, NO murky waters' which I may change for the harbour shots to get that murkiness back in the water. Neither of the test videos will be used in the final cut.
