I ignored it for a while because I figured it would go away by the time I had to sink a ship. But no, 15 minutes later when I've found a ship to sink, I'm all lined up, ready to fire my torp as soon as I can get a nice lock in the periscope, the ship sails right in front of me. Because there was so much fog, I couldn't see a giant C2 cargo vessel right in front of me. Is there some patch or mod that fixes the ****ty weather? I'd rather not turn it off altogether if I don't have to, but that's an option as well if there's no other way to fix this.

Ignoring the issue of glitchy weather which has already been answered, bad weather need not stop you sinking ships!
For sinking ships in heavy fog, its quite possible to go by sound only, if you can get to within 500m or so of the target`s projected course you should be able to estimate speed and sink the ship using just the hydrophone plot. At such close range any errors in range speed estimations are usually not enough to cause the torpedo to miss.
The only problem is identifying the nationality but its usually a matter of location, if youre just off the english coast its pretty much 100% that it`ll be an enemy ship.
