storms: i hate the weather model.

i'm running GW 1.1 (with the random weather mod), will upgrade to GWX when i end my current career.

anyway, i hate the way the weather works in this game.

it seems like it's either-

1. perfectly nice
2. slightly choppy
3. rough seas
4. very rough
5. hurricane/never ending storm/ heavy fog.

why can't there be light rain?

why do the storms have to last for weeks on end?

my last patrol in made contact with a convoy and shadowed it for 8 or 9 days in the middle of an apparent hurricane.

8 days? 9 days?

my current patrol i made contact with a convoy and shadowed it for about 3 days whilst in the middle of a major storm.

i had to go to periscope depth every 1-2 hours to make hydrophone checks as the convoy kept making course changes.

after about my 60th dive to periscope depth my crew just about had a mutiny so i broke off contact and started heading towards my designated patrol area.

what is the longest you other captains have been caught in a storm?

i hope they fix the weather in sh4.

light rain would be cool, without heavy fog.

just because it's raining doesn't mean there has to be fog.

squalls would be cool.

a 4 hour rain storm would be cool....not 4 days. not 5 days. not 6 days. not 7 days.

damn i hate the weather.
