I decided to try this game out again after seeing the wonderful water graphics -- and gosh they sure are stunning! But I have a concern:
I had just been watching that famous movie, "The Cruel Sea", and there was a point in the movie where the destroyer was returning from Murmansk and the captain pointed out that it was a safe journey because the seas were rough making it impossible for the Uboats to effectively target them.
My understanding is that the story was based on a lot of realistic details, which if true, confirms my suspicion that in real life Uboats were not able to operate effectively in stormy seas. I suppose it was not only the difficulties in targeting, but the problems with torpedoes being able to maintain a set course in the turbulent water.
So my question is this: Is the game modeled such that stormy waves will affect the course of torpedoes making torpedo attacks ineffective as in real life?
