What i was saying is of the same fact of the long patrols!! you start in 8/1939 at Kiel or Wilhelmshaven and you can be sent into the north atlantic, the baltic , north sea the coast of norway near the arctic etc. each area needs to be different especially at seasonal values pending Arctic, Equatorial, and towards Antarctic! example you set out of kiel in september you reach grid xx near Iceland! Even if it's still september the probability of snowy weather and darker seas should be far greater! Regional and Seasonal colouring or (coloring as American's Spell it)

Yes I had already thought about that, BUT the thing is, you can switch between environmental mods in saved games with no apparent bad effects. Hence you can sail out of Lorient with your Type IX in typichal Bay of Biscay winter weather, and by the time you arrive to the Azores, when you are sure you are not in the area of an airbase nor there are any other units closeby (Time compression is the giveaway here) switch the environment to a tropical one, and have your correct weather pattern for your Gulf of Mexico patrol
I certainly prefer this to the current weather in SH3, I always felt stupid when seeing calm weather and bright sun in the North Atlantic in February

, but now I can guarantee at last that even if the sky is clear, the waves can be moderate and the wind heavier. Which is also correct for bright days in the North Atlantic winter
I'll experiment with this a bit more and will try to get three different "constant weather" patterns based upon OLC's environment.
