Reece, if you are not getting enough wind and rain, you can try editing the campaign_.mis files. RWF sets PrecipRand and WindRand to 0, you can try settings of 1 or 2 to see if that makes a difference. Also, the weather tends to change more in the fall and spring than in summer.
I did have the mis files modded together with the scene.dat file, I could try with my existing mis files:

MissionType=0
MissionDataType=1
Year=1939
Month=1
Day=1
Hour=12
Minute=0
Fog=1
FogRand=2
Clouds=1
CloudsRand=2
Precip=1
PrecipRand=2
WindHeading=0
WindSpeed=7.000000
WindRand=2
WeatherRndInterval=2
SeaType=0
Briefing=

The funny thing is when I went on the next patrol with mis settings above & unmodded scene.dat file I had a week of heavy rain, fog, & wind, then the rest of the patrol, about a week, was clear skies, strong winds & rough seas, I couldn't use the deck gun for the entire patrol!!
One question comes to mind, do weather alterations of the mis files come into effect at the start of a patrol or a whole new carreer?
Another thing I found using this mod is that almost every day had light fog, also had CTD twice, though this maybe something else, will test again on the next patrol.
