Rockraider, at the risk of being repetitious - get a sprayshield!


I plan to incorporate one together with the 2/3rd width tramps, when I get them sorted. Does it prevent the AI from submarining? If not, it wouldn't have helped much today.

It is amazingly helpful at preventing the bow from burying. Stringy has posted this photo before of him and me on a gusty day. He doesn't have a shield and look at the spray coming over his bow. That was the time I realised how helpful the shield was as I saw Stringy's bow submerge a number of times and mine didn't at all.

Good thing the water was warm that day, though with the windchill I had to put my jacket on! :wink:
