Why do I never see anything above a force 7? Fact is that sometimes when surfaced in that same force 7 the sea and wind seem much more like a force 9, but not allways.

Part of the problem is that the game is programmed to not let the wind get above 15 m/s. In the stock version you got warnings that you couldn't man the deck gun because of the weather, and it looked like a flat calm at 7 m/s. A talented modder discovered that if he raised the winds, they defaulted back to that maximum when he reloaded the game. So he came up with the 'Big Waves' mod, which let you set them to twice the height. You can get that effect (and a whole lot more) with SH3 Commander, and when it says 15 m/s you'll see some pretty big waves.

Yeah, I know and I did just that. So now I have decent rough weather to cope with when attacking a convoy in 15 m/s. The sea brakes the sub down to 20+m all the time and I can hear the swish,swish, swish from the nearby destroyer :lol:
