Hello. i'm using GWX 3.0 and SH3 commander and I am a bit shocked about waves and see effects in Nord sea. I did my first patrol with a Type IIA.

3 days after leaving base, a storm rose. It was really a living hell, the boat was jumping out of the water (almost), sometimes the conning tower was even totally submerged, and the propeller was often out of water (which in reality would be very bad for the transmission).

Worst, the watch crew didn't wanted to come below the deck.

I eventually decided to submerge to wait for better weather, but I ask myself if the weather in Nord sea or even in Atlantic can be like that, and if it happens, what were doing skippers and Kaleuns ?
