A gross historical mistake.

When the boat №6 was lowered С deck in the bow was already under water and the propellers were already sticking out of the water. The angle of inclination on the Boat deck was palpable but in the game it doesn't feel and the ship is straight.

Yes, and the ship sinks way too fast. I believe this a dramatic license choice and lets the user view the complete sinking, without taking over two hours.

It’s clearly sped up for the experience. I get your complaint, but come on, lol

Sheesh I thought the complaint would be the use of red rockets when they were firing white rockets.

I didn't complain! I explained why it probably is the way it is.

In fact, they were firing rockets of all colours they had. The crew from Californian thought that they were celebrating something...

My personal complain, is the MOON in the sky. I think, the only reason for it to be there, is to add more lights for the experience. Along with faster sinking it's more like entertaining, than historically accurate event.

There was very dark, because there wasn't moon. I think in this sense everything is made correctly.

I agree with you.

Just to clarify, was the door on the D deck open, when boat 6 was launched? Or it was after?

Cite your sources because Ive read both US and UK inquiry and no where was it mentioned the rockets were a variety of colors.

Sure a distress rocket can be any color as the rules was a rocket that threw stars was a distress rocket not the color, but still not one person stated in the inquiry about the rockets being any color other than white.

On the other hand, there was a box with a rockets, found near the bow section and there was different colors. Not sure how they tell the difference, though.

The nose cap was colored based off the color of the rocket. 7 are missing from the crate. We dont know what those colors are as we dont know what the color arrangement of the crate is. Yes the crate has multi colored rockets in it but we dont know what colors were in the crate and in what quantity. This is just speculation.

For instance I have a photo of said rockets and rocket case. The rockets that are there is 17 in number and colors are hard to tell on some of them but they break down as follows.

Red x1
Green x5
Blue x5
White x1

This accounts for 12 of the 17 rockets. The other 5 rockets are hard to tell what color they are as the nose caps indicating colors that makes no sense such as either a black or brown color. Not sure what color that is as it is quite dark. There is also 3 more possible greens but they look more like a mix between blue and green than just a green.

With this said do we assume each crate had 5 rockets of each color? If so then that means 4 white and 4 red were fired which is 8 rockets. Problem is though how do you figure on 8 rockets when 7 rockets are missing from the crate. What if its not x5 for each color but is actually x5 for green and blue then Red and White each had x4 each. We just dont know and this becomes highly speculative.

Like was said before Californian saw rockets and saw colored rockets like a party. Ok but yet Californian saw 8 rockets. This crate is missing 7 rockets. Are we even sure that Californian was seeing Titanic? Then lets throw in a wrench to the works that Titanic was firing rockets from each side of the bridge. If they were using their own crates for each side then if 7 is missing from this crate and they alternated then the other crate would be missing between 6 and 8 rockets. This would be a grand total of 13 to 15 rockets fired by Titanic but Californian only saw 8 rockets. In the end this is all speculation and assumptions. Yes Titanic had a multitude of different color rockets but 7 is missing from the crate and we dont know what color those 7 were. It would be a real assumption on everyones part to proclaim well there are 24 rockets and out of 4 colors that means there is 6 of each color. If that is true then that means 5 white, 5 red, 1 green, and 1 blue were fired by Titanic. But was it really broken down x6 for each color.

We will have to have some hard evidence that lists the rocket case configuration and as of now all we know is there were two crates on Titanic that amounted to a total of 48 rockets.

First of all: thanx for so wide explanation.
well, we have to opposide testimonies then: Titanic survivors say they only saw white rockets and Californian crew - milticolor.
We also have to focus on the rockets themselves. How they work, what brightness they produce. Maybe the white ones are the most bright, and they got the most attention from Titanic passengers as the bright white flashes. Having bright lights on deck, the red rockets could be not that noticable. Just my thought.
There was a show, where group of people tried to recreate various Titanic parts: nose structure, anchor, radio station, furniture, etc. There was also the rockets, made by the same technology. Turns out, those rockets were pretty small and shine only few seconds. So i guess Californian could easily miss few of them and red ones could be not the brightest.

Its very possible but what my main point is we cant say with without a doubt that Titanic fired colored rockets. Sure she had a crate of colored rockets but 7 rockets are missing from the crate and we have no evidence of how the crate was packaged. Could have been 6 of each color but that is still speculation.

I am all about facts. Fact is we have no evidence to prove one way or another but we do have some evidence to lean slightly one way. This isnt like the center screw debate which shouldnt even be a debate considering we have actual physical proof from a notebook from harland and wolff that stated what Titanic had screw wise vs Olympic.

In the end people can believe what they want to believe but its best if we stick to facts and leave speculation out.

As far as the rocket themselves go, they werent really rockets as much as they were known as socket signals. Wouldnt have worked the same way as Cameron`s Titanic shown. If I remember correctly from my research from years ago distress signals had to throw 5 stars upon detonation. Thing Ive always been curious about is if all the signals Titanic carried were star throwers or not. If they werent all star throwers then that could be why some werent seen by Californian. Could also be why they were believed to be company signals because it has always didnt sit well with me that they wouldnt know what distress signals were. They were obviously close enough to Titanic during the sinking that they saw Carpathia come up from the south east firing white rockets then at dawn they saw a small ship that couldnt have been the ship they saw the night before thats when they found out what had happened via wireless and made their way to the Carpathia. She got there just as the last life boat was being pulled up. So she had to have been with in 10 miles of Titanic as the curvature of the earth starts kicking in at 9 to 12 miles.

Ahhh! Someone else knows their history of that night! The red rockets caught my eye as well! There were, in fact, eight distress rockets fired...all white!
