Tidal changes..

Here is a question to all of the excellent modders out there:

Is there some way to make tidal change mods to SHIII?
Would be cool if you had to check the tidal charts before you entered shallow water...

Even now I don;t go into a port if the wind is high. The conning tower pops up adn all the DDs in the world get after you.

with the seasonal waves from sh3 comander ... the u-boat is pushed to the bottom so hard in shallow waters , that most of the times i dont even dare , i tried to go to scapa in a storm, damage was so bad that i had to return to base ...

i think it would be a little too much detail for me ...

Just at periscope depth in a storm when attacking a convoy almost done for me as my tower kept poping above the surface and catch the attention of the dreaded DD's now im always carefull to only attack when its not to stormy.

Great replys, guys!!

I'm thinking about (for example) Scapa flow. Was it possible to enter the eastern approach (trough the narrow strait with the shipwrecks) when the water was low? Or was it possible only in high tide? (Would be nervwrecking to finish off some niiiice targets in SHIII, just to discover that your way out of there is in too shallow waters, and the DD's are approaching fast behind you....)

Tide was a very important factor in the Scapa raid. The raid was timed to coincide with a spring (or neap, or something - I'm not very good at this stuff) tide, both during entry and exit from the harbour.
