Wich ships you think would have the most difficulties on 4M high wave?

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #1 on:** January 07, 2009, 22:11:07 »

JetSki, Power Boat.

Minime · « **Reply #2 on:** January 07, 2009, 22:27:26 »

I thinkj the hovercraft would have a hard time trying to sail in 4m waves

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #3 on:** January 08, 2009, 00:10:49 »

Try sailing the Portoferraio Angel on the sea. It's almost impossible to turn in the high waves and speed is very low

the Northern Star. can't handle facing the waves and stay put that way no movement

MrFlappy102 · « **Reply #5 on:** January 08, 2009, 04:55:41 »

The Herkules Atlas with a few barges attached. In the real world you would last about 15 minutes if you were lucky!

I wonder what would handle the waves the best? I would Say PoR.

Nathan|C · « **Reply #7 on:** January 08, 2009, 19:22:16 »

PoR has apparently had some tough times in reality (It is the North Sea), and the Ocean Star is built for crossing the Oceans, so they'd probably be best.

Person264 · « **Reply #8 on:** January 08, 2009, 20:30:28 »

I would have said latitude or vermaas

Itâ€™s easy enough to answer, either one-at-a-time in free roam, or a bunch at once in the editor.
You need to set the wind correctly for maximum effect.

Of course, in reality it depends upon the wave period relative to the vesselâ€™s lengthâ€”and other factors that canâ€™t be controlled in SS.

I would of thought that, but Cruise ships are not very good at crossing say the atlantic, although In calmer seas there fine ofcourse

sherpa of course with that very high bow it is built to be at very low speeds in rough weather because of the towing and bouy handling

This is difficult, not easy....

We are discussing difficult ships...

Captain Rhys · « **Reply #13 on:** February 18, 2009, 18:35:05 »

The Jet Ski would actually be quite good in high waves as they will ride big waves well and some are unsinkable as they have enclosed air pockets or foam in them.
You would however get quite wet

lol

Perhaps the Titanic...

As the question was

I'd have to agree that Titanic would find 4M waves very challenging. Seeing that she is in several pieces on the ocean floor and mainly comprised of rust.

Minime · « **Reply #17 on:** February 19, 2009, 19:54:22 »

I thought we were talking in Shipsim?

TerryRussell · « **Reply #18 on:** February 19, 2009, 20:28:54 »

The questioner never said that...

matt5674 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 21, 2009, 19:15:56 »

it might not matter if it is a reality ship or shipsim ship. so I think we could just say a really slow(big) ship is about 6 knots an hour in a 4meter wave storm and noticed it is going 0 knots an hour.

firestar12 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 21, 2009, 19:22:30 »

The pushboat is horrible in 4M waves.

matt5674 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 21, 2009, 19:25:12 »

Try the Nortern Star if you can stomach the waves in New Horizons

Correct me if I'm wrong but if a ship is going 6 knots an hour it is accelerating. Is it like saying it was going 6 mph per hour?

Person, I believe you are correct. Or at least was accelerating.

Gentleman, please mind your choice of words. You have N(autical)m(iles) per hour and you have Knots, PERIOD . Knots per hour would be the same as wet water, or black coal, or white snow (yes I know, there is a fancy word for that, just can't remember).
