This is Subtype Zero's Sinking Ships Fix, intended to fix the behavior of smaller merchants in GWX 2.x where they had a tendency to sink in rough seas.
I'm uploading it here, at members' requests, because StZ seems to be MIA and his FileFront account no longer has this mod.
Author's Release notes:
================================================== =======
STzSinkingShipFix released!
------------------------------
In several of my patrols, I have noticed some ships seem to have a great deal of difficulty navigating heavy seas. How many times have you approached a juicy target that has no apparent damage, only to hear the creak and groan sound that tells you the ship is slowly sinking? What's more, if you put an eel into her, you frequently don't even get credit for the kill?!! How unfair is that!? :p
This mod is designed to end the sinking ship bug that exists for ships like the Tramp Steamer, Granville Type Freighter, Landing Ship Tank, and others once and for all! Simply unzip the file to your MODS folder, install via JSGME, and enjoy! As a special treat, even though it doesn't have a sinking problem, I have made some non-graphic adjustments to the C3 Cargo so that it doesn't look quite so bulky and out of place next to all of the other merchant ships.
I hope you enjoy this mod. If there are any other ships that you feel have that "sinking" feeling, please let me know and I will try to fix them, too. For example, please note that I have not looked at any of the warships yet, so warships are not included in this fix. If there is enough interest, I will consider working on them, as well. Finally, please direct any questions, problems, or criticisms to me in this thread. I look forward to your feedback!
Good hunting!

It's a sad fact of life that smaller merchant vessels (and some bug buggers as well!) DO have a nasty propensity to sink in rough weather STZ. Having sailed the northern waters in some appalling sea conditions, you would be absolutely amazed at the numbers of distress calls for ships having problems or in trouble that are received out daily/nightly.
If there is enough interest, I will consider working on them, as well. Finally, please direct any questions, problems, or criticisms to me in this thread. I look forward to your feedback!
