Does SH3 simulate ocean current?

I have GWX3.0 and was just wondering if ocean current is simulated. It seems that current played a fairly large role in Uboot navigation, especially close to shore.

I haven't really noticed it, but then again, I haven't been looking for it...

Not the current exactly but in inclement weather conditions you do get a bit of drift.

Yeah, bad thing to chase a merchant in bad weather, makes you burn a lot of fuel to get into a good position.

Which is often in the North Atlantic.

That's what the Kaleun has to weigh up and take into consideration....is the tax on the fuel situation worth the tonnage
