and as was mentioned before the 'freak waves' or more comonly called "rogue waves" (though not pictured) would and still destroy ships, however not only are they not model'd in the game they are very rare and for our purposes dont need to be included. (what makes them so dangerous is that they are 'seperate' from the other waves and can hit a boat from the side, appearing almost out of nowhere leaving no time to react, turning it over almost instantly... leaving no time for escape etc...)

Whats shown in the pictures are simply very large storm waves, I think that in game we get sort of picky and become annoyed when whe come accross a task force but cannot engage it because of the weather, when in reality this must have been an all too real problem... Think about how low to the water a sub is, combine that with the almost neutral boyancy (compared with a normal boat), a very poor ability to self right itself, and you have something that cannot function very well in serious weather.

this is something we should instead of reacting against take it as part of the experience, often the weather was just plain bad and a sub could not engage under those conditions.
