Yep, but you do have to have the official 1.4b patch installed. Then you can go into the 'Submarine' files and change the 'StormConditions' settings.

Someone who can be more specific will be along presently; never fear.:rock:

Go into C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Submarine and find your boat.
VIIB is NSS_Uboat7b for example.
Find this line; StormConditions=
Change it to;
StormConditions=11,0.8;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]
or
StormConditions=14,0.9;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]

There is a bad weather mod, but its value is 99 I think. The above values at least offer some flexability.

great thanks!

er isnt that why you have eels ie crap wether use them:up:

very true. if my captain told me to man a deck gun in 15ms winds with waves as high as houses i know what id say to him :stare:

You'ld say "Yes sir, right away say" or you'll be on the train to the eastern front as soon as we reach port.

show me to the train:up: :up: :up:

Your welcome.

spot on m8 :yep:

Train or bottom of the Atlantic let me think about this :hmm:

In hushed voice Lee whispers "train" there's a buffet on it:up:

Manning the deck gun in high seas - and drowning your gun crew - won't help anyway. Even a wave crashing over the deck temporarily interrupts the loading, aiming, and firing of the gun.

Some targets get away. Sometimes weather works against you. Sometimes torpedoes miss, sometimes they're duds. Sometimes ships suck up eels but don't sink. Sometimes after two hours of setting up an intercept the target changes course. Sometimes destroyers and aircraft get lucky.

Nature of the job. Just get used to it - the unpredictability of it all is a major plus for replay value.

Rykaird; I think your missing the point. aaronsk26 wanted to know how to correct the game to use the deck gun in "bad weather", not nessesarily high seas. The adjustments I gave allow this but still allow the game to not let your deck gus be used in high seas.
Besides, you can't drown your crew unless they are inside the boat.

Inconceivable!

Thanks for the correction. ;)
