I too have not been involved in many patrols that have taken place in changeable weather. Mostly it seems to be either good or bad but never a combination.

I have found that my last 2 or 3 missions have completely taken place in torrential rain. It has positive and negative effects. It's great when you can't be seen by the escorts, but rather dodgy when the sea's so rough that the con keeps becoming exposed.

It's harsh when your radar or deck watch can't pick up on any contacts and also when closing in on a convoy in really bad weather I have at times only gained visual when they are far too close.

It's true that Ctrl+N can help but the downside to this is that it also enables the enemy to see you clearly and start closing in = not a good day out.

I personally get very sea sick in even the calmest of conditions and can only imagine what weeks at sea in a sub during poor weather can have done for morale.
