I decided to make this thread, because I`m on my 8th patrol and it`s been storming for ten days!! When will it stop!?

What`s yours longest period in storm?

2 weeks. Down to the East coast of Africa and back in the world's largest storm, new special coming up : "When storms attack" :rotfl:

Game time, probably a week or so. I have seen it get better, then worse again.

I sailed for 3 weeks in a storm shadowing a convoy from halifax almost all the way to england. Eventually I gave up because I was almost out of fuel from running in that crap weather. I don't attack when I can't see, so I was pretty angry at missing the oppertunity to hit that convoy.

the weather in this game is pretty lame as far as how its implemented...

Wrratt · 08-25-05, 01:39 PM

The rain and wind can last for weeks, it is not fun day after day. Is there a mod for the weather? Someting that cycled rain and clear days with some what more realistic weather changes. <Wrratt

Dowly · 08-25-05, 01:54 PM

Ah, finally. After ten days of storm, it calmed to 0m/s winds! YAY!!!!

Sometimes, if you use a lot of TC, you might actually miss the breaks in the weather, and get an apparently longer storm than ususal.

Also, if you save and reload a mission, I believe that the "storm clock" gets reset, so that stormy weather gets precedence over other weather -- I think.

My longest storm was about two and a half weeks. I had a day of clear weather and no contacts, and then back into the pea soup for the remainder of the patrol.

Good thing I live in Vancouver, and I am used to the rain, otherwise, I'd get pretty depressed...

2 weeks once when crossing the Atlantic... missed out on lots of ships

Dowly · 08-25-05, 02:26 PM

I play only with 64x TC, so I don`t miss the weather breaks.

And about the save game thing, when I loaded my 8th patrol after ten days of storm. The next morning it went totally calm. So atleast for me the storm "clock" didn`t reset.

2 days

Apocal · 08-25-05, 08:11 PM

About two weeks while transiting to the East Coast, late November, early December '41. Cleared up as I made my run into New York Harbor.

U-47 Prien · 08-26-05, 09:00 AM

sailed for 2 weeks one time, i thought it would never end. (it did though of course) :-)

jasonb885 · 08-26-05, 01:59 PM

Forever.

This fog over my eyes just won't lift.

Sigh.

08-26-05, 02:37 PM

the longest storm i had was about 4 weeks. it was hardcore! maybe i missed 1-2 days of calm seas between the storm. wind 15, thick fog, and a never ending rain...

as i made the decision to cancel the patrol and get back to WH, the weather changed, just 100km before the coast...
