However save, exit and reload forces the game to change weather. Cheat if you do it during rain or is this intentional?
It was neither intentional nor accidental - I noticed it during testing, and decided that it was a useful addition.

If you don't like the change of weather during save/reload a game, then avoid saving the game until the weather is good and you are far from any other ships (which is wise anyway, to avoid CTDs). Most importantly, if you think it is unfair to cheat with the weather by saving and reloading, then don't cheat!

Incidentally, most of the CTDs that are caused by game saves are due to previous corruption of data stored in RAM. This is as a result of too much data being written to RAM, corrupting previous data. It is really a problem caused by all the mods - especially for new ships - that have been added to SH3 since the game was originally released. If two large convoys spawn next to the U-boat, then a huge amount of new data is written. The original stock game only caused CTDs very rarely. Happily, however, modern computers have much more RAM than in 2005 (release date of SH3), so the problem is becoming rarer again.
