Weather Change

Lord_Kitchener · 02-25-07, 03:42 AM

I've often wondered if the weather changes gradually ...I can never seem to stop the TC fast enough when the depth meter starts bouncing..anyways I had instant gray skies and rain somehwhere near the 0 meridian in Grid AN21..wind and waves stayed the same..came on in a flash like a nuclear explosion..thought I was being strafed or bombed at first:rotfl:

Too date I have never seen the weather transition from one degree to another.

The weather in SHIII upsets me sometimes...

Once when a friend dropped in, I had the game running. While we chatted, the wind picked up and the sea gradually changed from dead calm and sunny to rising waves and increasing clouds, after two hours, I had some pretty choppy seas and overcast skies. It was pretty awesome.

Otherwise, I've never been slow enough on TC to observe a 100% change of weather. I've been trying to catch it by running on 64 TC and going back to TCx1 every 15 minutes, until getting tired of it without luck,

The bloody weather stays bad on and on and on and on and on. Grrrr. Right now I've been in a gale for 3 weeks. 2 weeks in fog and rain. Double grrrr.

I was making a submerged approach on a convoy once. 4 meter winds and good visibility. While I had the scope up, it started to rain and it got foggy. In a couple more minutes it was rough. Had to break off the attack.

Would have been cool except the crew was soooo disappointed

I was just at liverpool waiting for the weather to get better so I could observe the port before attacking. Was there for 3 days with no change. As you can imagine when I entered the port I wreaked havoc decimating the biggest ships I could find in an over kill kinda way.

Harsh, but if you can't see anything........ how can they expect you to fight?
