Default Why is it...?

that when you dive and approach a convoy, it starts raining but when sonar conditions are excellent and escorts are after you, the weather never gets worse?

7 hours evading and out of torpedos .

19 July of 43. Blast that Type 147A Sonar!!!! :rotfl:

This game Rocks!!!

Having never lived to see July '43 I can only wonder what it's like!

I suppose sh*t happens just like when you go to state side first time you get there and it pours down with rain and heavy fog,(I won't attack a convoy in lousy weather so many thing will/can go wrong and as far as escorts are concered they get within annoying range they will go deep six.
