Hi, Kaleuns!

I saw today one stream (in russian): http://www.twitch.tv/anclav3000/b/309214229

And there maximum speed of his boat depends from weather. While my VIIC always get 18 knots at flank ahead. Is there any mods, that influence on that?

About streamer know only that he using Ui-Boat V4.14 interface.

Hm... survey then: do your boat's speed depends from sea condition?

I WANT to say, and I'm pretty sure that I'm right, that my speed decreases during rough weather as it should, but I'd have to check it out as the last storm I went through was quite a bit ago.

I'm not so sure about this. I think that my sub goes the same speed even in storm, only recharging the batteries slows it down. It's a very good place for a mod!

What kind of slowing would a storm cause (SH storm windspeed 15) in real life?

Even SH3 modeled this feature, at least to some degree. But to see the boats in SH5 going at 100% speed during storm conditions is just hilarious.

I just hope all the talented modders continue and dont give up...

Well I wasn't exactly right, just tested this.

When there is a storm and I'm in real time on the deck, weather affects the speed just like it should. Normal travel speed 13 knots, but in windspeed 13, it dropped to 11. Problems start when I go to Nav map and use Time Compression, then the speed of the boat goes back to basic 13 knots. Dont't know if other SH games have this working...

Well, on stream his boat went at 12 knots on flank ahead in storm (when normally should 17-18) at any TC. And no mod for this... very strange...

About speed dropping on 1-2 knots when turning off TC, I have it too, but it appeared only after spending 1 or 2 points in additional speed skill. So I think it's just bugged skill that working only at TC, not depending from weather.
