Wasa bow decorations / figurehead


Njord

Question

In all plans and pictures I could find on the Wasa, it can be seen that the ship had some bow decorations or figurehead. Why was decided against adding it, when the model was created?

 @admin Beautiful ship ( just a bit overpriced / underperforming and thus not often seen at the moment ) nevertheless! I love how ship models keep getting better and better. The look of the planking on Diana for example is simply superb! My appreciation to you and your artists.

She's not the only in-game ship without her RL decoration. For example, here is the figurehead of HMS Surprise :

Another mystery after that of the 'Vanished ship names' on their name scroll :

... and the mystery of 'The vanished ship's boats' !

Too many disappearances in the shipyard ! 

I definitely think we should ask for help...

Regarding the boats it was decided to not show the boats because during a fight they would be in the water and not on deck. That was during an early early stage of the game.

'Elementary, my dear Watson' 🙂

I guess it is also to reduce the polygon count of the 3d models and speed up their making.
