Actually XLBob, I've had a more or less similar patrol, same area, same bloody weather. I sailed back to Wilhelmshaven thinking the weather would never change. In the North Sea it did:

I got more wind and behold! Rain.

:rotfl:

I can tell you CAN hit ships in that kind of weather. Remember, you can't see very well, but it's the same for the escorts... especially at night... creep up close on the surface. That way you can target from the bridge, periscope targetting is another matter. If you're submerged, get the speed and angle first. That way you have more time getting the range with a wobly periscope.

Don't be disappointed by misses. Learn from them. The rewards will come
