This is fixed in RUb 1.43, If I remember correctly (at least even the PT-boats are going strong in storms in RUb). There is also a fix there reducing the number of aircraft appearing simultaneously, thus also reducing the chance of mid-air crashes.

Isn't that a tad unrealistic? I mean ships do sometimes sink in bad weather, especially small ones. |
Indeed it is! The ocean floor is crowded with ships that have sunk in storms.
Then again, small ships would never be out in storms anyway, and by that I'm thinking of the little patrol boats. Small merchant could be 'trapped' in open sea of course, so that is the downside of the fix.
Anyway I'm glad this is fixed, as I sometimes found myself surrounded by 5-6 patrol boats that were all burning...
And, sometimes, after spending an hour or so getting lined up for that perfect shot on a C3, it sinks! (even they sunk sometimes before the fix). So if I had to choose, I'd take the fix.
