Depends on the weather.
Very good point Steve. My life long experience is offshore fishing in the atlantic on a boat thats only 50' long. Which is a bit off from a sub but i try and relate
that said.....

I can barely imagine the seas that I read about that knock containers off container ships, and that must be an incredible sight to see. Not to mention a carrier getting tossed around like a top, amazing.

The max winds SH4 will generate is 15 meters per second, thats roughly a 30 knot wind. I've fished many seas in 30 knot winds, im sure a lot of members here have water experience with those winds as well that can chime in. This is a complete guesstimate but id have to say with 30 knot winds a typical sea you will see is right around 10-12' (maybe 15'?). (someone please correct, me im estimating)

thats a guess and im just putting this out for discussion.

For accuracy I feel like the roll pitch behavior should reflect a 12' sea to a 300' sub, which i dont think is going to be anything too bad, i would suspect similar to video number two.

I really think Dave got it very close to where it should be with his latest ROW release as well.

I am looking forward to see what comes of this work that Panthercules is working on here.
