The rough water makes the deck gun problematic, not to mention the wall of in-coming ordnance from so many merchants.
I'm actually having to shadow the convoy waiting for calmer water that won't expose my position.

Smile - I ran into the same thing in hurricane conditions in the (IIRC) South China Sea; ridiculously frustrating. The good thing was that the surface-dwellers were making lousy time so I got ahead of them out of sight, surfaced, recharged then dove and hummed along at 2kts. and 200ft. until the storm blew itself out. Horribly annoying; I REALLY wish I had a Captain's Bed as in SH5 but it got the job done.
Of course, once I WAS in attack position came the second kind of frustration: underrun...underrun...miss...dud...underrun...dud. ..AAAAAAAAUUGH!
chuckle - cheers!
