I'm still plugging away in February 1940 on my little IIA ducky visiting exciting places in the North Sea with a few (a very few) hits notched up.
The current weather off the Shetlands is balmy and more like a summer cruise off the Bahamas...!!
I know from personal experience, the North Sea and Atlantic weather in winter (and other times) is generally quite dreadful. Has this been taken in to account in the game?
The other minor quibble is sunrise and sunset times. Again in the northern hemisphere (and I use winter as an example) it is at best 0900 before daylight is reasonable and by 1600 it is beginning to darken. Is it too complex to create a compromise so that some degree of reality is available?

Using SH3 3.1
GWX 2.1
OLC GUI Special 1.2.7
OLC Uber Mod 2.4.3
Plus some other cosmetic mods.

Thanks.

Harry
