Question regarding M.E.P v5

MAYBE IT'S JUST ME.

I have been using M.E.P v4.2 for a long time. Recently tried version v5 and noticed a change in U-Boat behavior. Not sure whether it was introduced in v4.3 (which I never tried) or v5, but in M.E.P v5 the U-Boat appears to sit lower in the water and bobs more fore and aft.

For example, when leaving port, the initial weather (and associated sea state) is always the same -- North at 4 m/s. With M.E.P v5, I have waves coming over the deck of a Type IX and the bow occasionally plows under water with winds at just 4 m/s -- not so with M.E.P v4.2 and prior versions.

Anyone else notice this?

I switched to MEP5 on both of my computers, also and have noticed extended good weather, 4m/s . Now, I've been kinda busy the pass few weeks and haven't played to much. I was starting to get suspicious. Both my patrols are about 10 days or so out from port and the weather has been

not that I mind but I was wondering why the "No Rain". I've read the "read me" and didn't see anything about weather .

Not the weather per se that I am talking about. Typically, I don't see waves over the deck unless the winds are greater than 6-7 m/s. Am surprised to see waves over the deck, especially a Type IX, with winds only 4 m/s with MEP v5.
