Who says crappy weather is a bad thing?
Ok, most people do but in this game sometimes you can use it to your advantage. What choice do you have when your lookouts can't see past 600 meters and you don't have radar. Turn to the hydrophone.
VIIB 2nd flotilla just before the Norway invasion. Weather started out ok but soon after the 'friendly' reports passed by heavy fog and rain, all the time. Scooted up n/e where task force reports were reported, and crap weather followed me like a lost puppy. So I used the hydrophone. Plotted an intercept according to the reports and got into a return path. Next course lead me about 2500m s/e of scappa flow looking to spend my last eels on lone merchant ot two. As usuall couldn't see a thing. After a recharge I decided to again scoot under and listen. All of a suden I started picking up contacts, warship city. Unreported task force!
To make a long story short here's a snap of the end result. Hydrophone hunting. All the other screens were cruddy because of the weather.

Just when you think there are no suprises left!

GWX 3.0 & one of my favorite boats
