To correct, the capsizing, the gc value in the .sim files need to be reduced to between 0.1 and 0.5. I have modified the .sim file for all units for the TSWSM to enable waves amplitude 0.8 and attenuation 0.75. If I go higher than that, ships take damage that I can't prevent. If you want to see what I mean, setup a test mission with a load of ships sailing in convoy, set it to 15 ms wind speed and the wave amplitude 1.0 and go listen to the bulkheads creaking .... shortly after which, some fo the AI ships sink.

I have reduced the gc on many ships to be negative to get them to handle right. Pretty much all the large capital ships need a value of -4 to -9 m. The net result is they go up & down and plough through the big waves, but don't wobble from side to side.
