Something That Still Bugs Me!

If you are in the middle of a storm with rain and need to save the game, when you reload the save, it's still raining but your guys have no raingear. I know in SH3 all you needed to do was drag the crew below, and bring them topside again. It's more complicated in SH4 because when you ask for a weather report, it states "heavy overcast, poor visibility, NO PRECIP" That's where the problem comes in. The game says it's not raining, even though it clearly is. No rain= no raingear.

Well, it's nice and toasty on the Pacific, so they can hang around in tee shirts and shorts just fine.

Sometimes I save in a storm with rain, come back and it's clear and calm. Once that happened as I was approaching a convoy, something came up and I had to save in fog, rain, heavy seas....came back and it was clear and calm, they blew me out of the water before I had a chance to dive.

@Hylander, I guess that's one way to look at it

. @ Donna, I never had the weather do a 180 on me after a save. Always returned to the same weather state. Just that glitch which causes the game to think the rain stopped when it clearly has not.

Yeah, when they do that, i.e., hangin' in the rain without their gear, we pass out the bars of soap! Keeps the stench down below decks.

I have had Donna's experience before ... middle of a monsoon, save it, come back later, clear as a bell and getting fired at.
