Most people complained about being able to ask for the weather while submerged. It's impossible to tell at 50 meters what's going on.

and so now the crew is unaware of what is happening above.The reason I am asking is because I just ran into a pretty fierce storm approaching AN26 and I may have to dive before long,visibility is about 300m and its getting dark.
Been there, done that.

It wouldnt surprise me if real captains had a weather channel?


In fact, they were the weather channel. BdU relied on captains to send in regular updates so they could tell where to route other u-boats.

All that said, I know for a fact it can be changed back, even if I don't know how. It shouldn't take long before someone comes along who is actually helpful.
