Yep, but you do have to have the official 1.4b patch installed. Then you can go into the 'Submarine' files and change the 'StormConditions' settings.

Someone who can be more specific will be along presently; never fear.

Go into C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Submarine and find your boat.
VIIB is NSS_Uboat7b for example.
Find this line; StormConditions=
Change it to;
StormConditions=11,0.8;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]
or
StormConditions=14,0.9;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]

There is a bad weather mod, but its value is 99 I think. The above values at least offer some flexability.

You'ld say "Yes sir, right away say" or you'll be on the train to the eastern front as soon as we reach port.

In hushed voice Lee whispers "train" there's a buffet on it

Manning the deck gun in high seas - and drowning your gun crew - won't help anyway. Even a wave crashing over the deck temporarily interrupts the loading, aiming, and firing of the gun.

Some targets get away. Sometimes weather works against you. Sometimes torpedoes miss, sometimes they're duds. Sometimes ships suck up eels but don't sink. Sometimes after two hours of setting up an intercept the target changes course. Sometimes destroyers and aircraft get lucky.

Nature of the job. Just get used to it - the unpredictability of it all is a major plus for replay value.

Rykaird; I think your missing the point. aaronsk26 wanted to know how to correct the game to use the deck gun in "bad weather", not nessesarily high seas. The adjustments I gave allow this but still allow the game to not let your deck gus be used in high seas.
Besides, you can't drown your crew unless they are inside the boat.
