Default Damned Weather !

I am at present experiencing my worst weather at sea ever in SH3!, and it has lasted 4 weeks, and also this is in the med!, gales/thick fog(zero vis) and heavy rain for 4 weeks, it just never ends, has anyone else ever suffered these abnormal/search inhibiting over long storms?

Messing around within 200 miles of Britain has given me some daggone awful storms. My last patrol I ran into a convoy, nailed off all the escorts with my torps, surfaced to use my deck-gun to finish them off but weather rolled in and I had to inch my way home with just one torp left in my stern Rotten patrol but had some decent tonnage

Best (or worst place) for bad weather is south of the Denmark Straight. I always experience really bad weather there, which can last for weeks.

And wouldn't you know it... that area is the area I always find the most ships in... not only that.. the weather starts there for me then the storm clouds with high winds seem to follow me from there to everywhere in the world where I go.

i don't know the weather is one of the things i like best about the game and its just another thing to contend with, sure you get some crappy weather a lot but sometimes when pulling out of port i always think about the adventure that awaits me out there.....will it be or will it be
