Hi, I was recently playing SHIII with Onealex 1.53. My last torpedo struck a freighter's stern and I could see with F12 view that it's propeller had fallen off. I waited several hours for the the weather to clear to wind below 7m/s and engaged with the deck gun. The immobilized ship had moved about 1500m.

In earlier versions of SHIII, I had the impression that any ship with it's propeller shot off would decelerate to zero speed and then remain perfectly stationary. Do recent mods simulate immobilized ships drifting with wind and current?
