By compromised I don't mean that you have storms snapping your boat in two, or anything like that; but rather being forced to submerge, endangering your crew, causing you to burn much extra fuel, having to alter course, or pass up attack opportunities. SH4 weather is mostly an optical illusion. It looks menacing, but has little influence on your operations.


For the most part it is. I think you saw my larger waves and it did cause
some issues, no damage, but the boat slowed down about 5 kts, attacking with the scope was about impossible, you couldn't see over the waves, cept bits and pieces. Sometimes the boat would go under, submerge so to speak, but only due to going under, which also cut speed.

I gave up, because having typhoon waves under blue skies seems silly, if only some way to connect waves to storms, just can't be done...
