Actually I would disagree that bad weather is a friend late in the war. Since all of your surface sensors are inferior to most fitted on escorts and aircraft you are forced to close the range, increasing the risk of being acquired and making evasion that much more difficult.
Humm may be that's because I have more experience with NYGM, and I could swear that it makes waves more noticeable, or may be it's the aspect. As long as they do not have centimetric one installed, but the one meter wavelength one, you can get as close as 4000 metres in rough waves if you keep a small silhouette, I have experienced that.

Anyway, I have readed in Blair's book several accounts of surface attacks -from longer ranges- in late 1943 due to bad weather and imprecission of older models of radar still installed on ships, so it should be realistic in any case. Not the norm, but possible.
