In the book Iron Coffins, there is a picture taken from the bridge of the U Boat during a heavy storm. I fish offshore in the atlantic in a large boat, and looking at this picture ive never seen waves this big in my entire life. The photo shows the boat leaning over what appears to be 45-60 degrees as its caught in the trough of the waves.

And like the above poster said, SH4 just doesnt model how a rounded hull is supposed to react in a sea. it was an AWFUL ride... ROW at least gets the dynamics in the right direction.
