In silent hunter 3 the boats was affected by waves when at periscope depth depending on the weather. But in sh-4 this was removed. Its one of those immersion things that was not ported over to sh-4 allthough i never ever understood why the hell this was not implemented in sh-4. Really it should be the other way around right? Anybody know why stuff like this was never in sh-4? I Mean i sh-4 i feel like i,m sailing a huge nucial sub.

yes i do belive you are correct. not played sh3 for quite sometime, but as i recall it had strong under current, from surface to about 30meters depth. during bad weather around 20 meters the sub would be rolling, thats when i put the gramaphone on and had a party lol. yes it was a good feature and now that you mentioned it i dont think i have it on my sh4, v 1.5, fotrs mod either!!

The u-boat being affected by the waves was modded into SH3 in NYGM Tonnage War, I cannot vouch for GWX. SH3 was originally like it is now in SH4 and when we tried to use the same modification for SH4 but because of changes in the game engine the behaviour of the submarine was erratic and unrealistic. Hopefully they will implement this into the game from the get go so it can be done right to start with.

Ja. It was, and is, in stock.
No mod needed for that one.

Well I installed the stock SH3 & 1.5 and right you are, the effects on the u-boat by the sea is there from the beginning. I had always thought the mods were responsible for the behaviour, obviously my memory is wrong.
