Probably not, since IX D2 is almost as big as a coastal merchant, and therefore should be less vounerable in storm conditions...I think.
Right?
If one sub (apart from the XXI with the closed flak turrets) deserved a weather "bonus", this is definitly the IX D2. But this is a very small window for the "bonus" (7 to 9 m/s). Consider it as a righteous treat (apart from the shower for the crew) for the great handicaps of this boat (ASDIC profile, slow dive time, slow underwater speed, sluggy to steer etc.)
Sadly, I could not feel the joy of this in my fix, since the one I got for testing purposes in 1945 (Flensburg) didn't have a deck gun!
I am using HT 1.47 (BTW, nice harbour raid in March 1945, Rubini - HT rues
)
Is this normal not to have a deck gun???
Also, I can provide a version without the 9 m/s, if someone asks for it.
