I'm thinking of doing the same. I've always been curious as to how a WW2 era sub would behave at periscope depth in rough seas. In SHIII it's like riding a bucking bronco but in SHIV the pitching in rough seas at periscope depth is MUCH, much more subdued than it is in SHIII.
Which one is realistic? I don't know. I should ask over at the submarine forums at Military.com as they have a few veterans there that served time aboard some of the old boats. |
I'd make sure you're making that comparison between a Type IX and a US fleetboat. I would suspect the IX to be a bit more stable than a VII. The US subs also come across as large, slow and lumbering, (and yeah more stable) in comparison to a Type VII. I think they're probably both correct.
My only gripe is the stad in SH3 shoulda been modelled the same as the stad in SH4 and then wave action wouldn't be an issue in SH3. As I've mentioned, I allow myself to pause in SH3 when using the stad to remove the inaccurate wave action difficulty.
I like how the wave action looks and feels otherwise.
