It certinaly effects passive sonar a lot in all versions of the game.
I can't say 100%, but I think it effects ASDIC to the same extent. I'm sure someone
can confirm/deny this...

It also effects radar and visual spotting a lot.

I only ever make surface attacks if the weather if at least windspeed 5 at night.
You can shadow convoys much closer in rough weather when their radar doesn't
work so well.

Big waves, but high visability on a moonless night is perfect u-boat weather.
