TorpX deserves a medal

Wow this is pretty cool. The sea has a much more realistic affect on the boat now. If my rudder is out of the water in rough seas I simply do not turn. Once it hits the water it spins on over. The waves push at me and turn me off course and at times I had to keep a 10 degree port rudder just to stay straight. That is good and real because I remember doing the same thing in storms at sea when I was at the helm in the Navy.

I'm in a storm in the Celebs sea and got right into a convoy of three merchants and four escorts at about 0530.

Visibility is down to about 100 yards even at 0800. I have sank two escorts and two merchants with deck gun only and let me tell you it was not an easy thing to do in these seas.

My arrogance got the better of me however in that I was too close to the second merchant when she blew sky high... it destroyed my boat and we sank to the bottom.

Everyone should have ISP.
