Keep in mind that in the scene where the boat is lowest, they have just surfaced and probably haven't emptied the tanks completely, and really are almost decks awash. Don't just go by this one video, look at all of them, and all the photographs. They usually ride higher than that.
As for big waves, the original mod was by AILantic, who experimented with making the wind blow harder and found that he couldn't. SH3 Commander's 'Seasonal' setting makes the waves x2 in winter, x1.5 in spring and x1 in summer.
I agree, the biggest problem with the waves is that they are not only not high enough but also not long enough; that is the period, or space between waves, should be bigger as well. |
But that is exactly what I have done in that video. I didn't increase the amplitude of the waves, just their LENGTH! Imagine that each wave is a blanket of 5 meters long, 5 meters wide and 20cm high. I increased the blanket to 15 meters long, 15 meters wide and the same 20cm high. The uboat behaves like its floating in the air, up and down, like a ghost. Ridiculous. If I increase the wave hight, its even worse. If i decrease, plain water. I fixed the ocean to look perfect alright, but now I need to fix how the vessels behave in that new water. Imagine to re-configure ALL the vessels in the game, one by one, their .sim files. That
IF I'm able to find what I need to change to fix their behavior.
