When you write storm is that windspeed above 15 m/s? which is the most Ive seen ever in the game.

I am playing Commander with seasonel wavehight selected but still the windspeed never reaches above 15 m/s
The maximum wind speed in the game is 15 m/s. One modder long ago experimented with raising it. He got it to go to 45 m/s, and it worked, but when he saved and reloaded it defaulted to 15. So he came up with the 'Big Waves' mod, which doubled the size of the waves at every wind speed, so we could read 15 but pretend it was actually 30 m/s. SH3 Commander allows you to select '1x', '1.5x' and '2x', or 'Seasonal, which makes it 1x in the summer, 1.5x in the spring and fall, and 2x in the winter. A compromise for sure, but the only way the game will really allow it to happen.

In my patrol logs I record wind up to 30 m/s, but I'm using the 'Seasonal' option and doubling the speeds to match the wave heights as I write them down.
