Weather comment, and a positive one too!

Just a quick thanks to all the modders out there who worked on the weather side of things in GWX2.1.

After playing possum, all quiet, sitting silent near the ocean bottom 95 meters, (Ocean bottom is very nice too by the way, I've always been into nice bottoms) due to been hunted by a couple escorts that finally gave up, I rose to surface a few hours later, and the weather was amazing.

Not storming, but I guess it was coming in. The water looked amazing, reflecting the dark clouds, the waves at about 3 to 5 feet, but no white caps, just waves, dark clouds above, no rain, no wind.

Just the quiet relaxing sound of the water lapping against the pressure hull. Broken only by the thunder. I just sat there in external camera mode, got up close to my guys in the conning town on watch. I just sat like that in front of them as I watched, listened, and took it all in. It wasn't like this when I submerged.

The lightning was truly amazing. Like every 5 seconds, right in front of my bow, and the claps of thunder were amazing. It was constant, loud, and just rolled off into the distance, one right after another. With surround sound it was awe inspriring, Normally I would have set about getting the battery charged, reload the torps, fix any damage, send out my radio report, get my crew where I want them, then return to course TC to the next way point.

This time I just sat there enjoying the weather, the lightning, thunder, and waves.

I could only imagine after getting depth charged, having to hide silent on the bottom, how fresh the air must have smelled to the crew, just taking it all in.

I hope that real crews got a moment to breath after all the stress and anxiety they had to face.

Thanks again.
