Weather Woes

*heard amidst the sounds of retching from men too tired to see straight*

When is this accursed weather going to lift? Three weeks, we've been out, and ever since that first night, it has been raining and foggy. (Precipitations: Heavy, Fog: Heavy). I'm not altogether sure we still have a bow, since I haven't seen it in weeks.

Seriously, WTH is up with stock SHIII weather? I've had wind changes, and wind direction changes, but with all the heavy rain I've driven through in this last patrol, I'm fairly certain I could take a direct path back to Wilhelmshaven over Europe, rather than around it.

I've missed now on at least five different convoys, including being at the convergence point outside of Gibraltar when two convoys were passing nearby, but the weather limited visibility so much that spotting and identifying a target happened at 300m or less... hard to get an eel away with any effectiveness when you have such little time to do everything all at once.

Well, at least with weather this bad, I needn't worry about fighters. But Bernard's going to have a lot of deck-swabbing to do down below.
