I'm not sure the weather mod is working. It was working for me before with NYGM TW 1.03, but now with NYGM TW 2.01 in the last two patrols (2 Sep 39 to 17 Sep 39 and 27 Sep 39 to probably 10 Oct 39) I have had 90% of my days being gale force winds. Clear as a bell most of the time, but howling winds and seas to make even Noah a little on the queasy side.

I don't buy the TC argument. Even when sailing under TC about a day out of port the weather went from 6 m/s to 15 m/s. It stays that way until about a day out of port on the way back. Now I know fall in the North Sea isn't placid and serene, but I doubt that two hurricanes in a row would be coming through.

To my mind, 15 m/s winds (actually gale force) should be rather rare, and when they do happen should only be for a few days or so, and even then not on every single patrol, for weeks on end it seems.

I play with fatigue on all the time no matter the TC, so it makes it real annoying to have to bring down my watch crew every 4 hours and see them stagger limply down the ladder, or to stay submerged for 20 hours out of 24.
