Fog is a pain!!!!!

God damn it. I was tracking a massive convoy. I found it at like 3 am (Game time), so i stalked it until day break. At 730 ours i used the free camera and it was as clear as a bell, not even a wave. I checked again at 800 hour and there was FOG everywhere. I had managed to pick off the 2 escorts with torps during the night. I have yet to figure out how the hell i managed that. One of the torps passed right through the middle of the convoy and it the other escort. I was aiming for a pyro ship and missed by a mile. Literally. So anyway because the escorts were no more, i decided to pop up and slaughter some ships with my deck gune when I poped up and slammed into the side of a pyro ammo ship. Man i used the scope and DIDN'T EVEN SEE IT. He game out of no where the little @!&!@^&.

Ok...Calm blue oceans...calm blue oceans.

I probably would not be as sore it i was rammed by a Destroyer but to slam my beautiful VII/B into the side of this MASSIVE ship. I think I even shead a tear.

It's times like this I would KILL for a weather mod. Just to fool around with. Any ideas if one exists? Or if there is a way to disable fog.

God.... I can't believe i did that. Man i feel STUPID. I'm going to bed.... it is now 7 am here and I have yet to sleep. And I know, all I'm going to dream about is slamming into the god forsaken ship. I could picture the captian going "If I go down am takeing you with me ya pr*ck.

Well at least I can blame the fog..... Has anyone else done anthing this bad? Please say yes!

Yes, that's true. If you disable the fog you're going to miss it very, very soon. Learn to love it.

Fog can be a pain, but it's more help than hurt, really. But, yeah, I still remember one of my first careers when a DD raced out of the fog and cut me in two. I stared at the screen, my jaw agape. I couldn't believe it.....

I haven't seen the sun in almost two weeks in my early 1940 career. One gets used to it. Besides, there's a convoy that's been wishing for some sun much more than me because I keep attacking them, no matter what the time is! :rotfl:

Then it's no real difference, if there is fog or not.
