Funny DD screws, 2 screens included | Forums

I watched this DD today, and something was not quite right. Its right screw seemed to wobble on the axis, as if it was attached not exactly centered on the axis... I zoomed in closer, and here is what I found. Must be one of the prototypes of magentic bearings the Allies used.

Does this look normal?


How about this, from a different angle?

I dont think I ever seen that in the game personally. But then again I never looked.

I've seen driveshafts occilate around an off-center axis, but never quite that off-center!

I started looking at DD's on purpose now. Every single one I saw so far has this problem, on both driveshafts Guess the magnetic bearings are still in development in fall of 1942

I seen some that were slightly off centered, but never so off centered it looks like that from the side lol
