Smoke Direction

Hey guys. I finally updated to 1.4 today! I was holding out until the new version of NSM was completed, but I couldn't take the wait no longer. Anyway, I'm running all the latest ROW, RFB for ROW, and RSRD for RFB. Everything looks great, except I noticed that in the Borneo Convoy mission, the ship's smoke is blowing forward ahead of the ships. I was detected by the escorts, and attacked. I noticed that when the Destroyers were in their attack runs, their smoke flowed correctly (blown back behind them).

I would understand if wind speed and direction were a factor, but the seas in this mission seem fairly calm, suggesting light winds. Certainly winds not capeable of blowing the ship's smoke ahead of the vessel. As I noted befor, while the Destroyers were in their attack runs, the smoke flowed correctly, suggesting the ship's speed countered any effect the wind may have had on the smoke.

I just started a new career, and haven't come in contact with any other vessels yet. Also, the mission mentioned above was the only mission I have tried thus far, so I can't say for certain if this is a problem, or a feature. Anybody else see this, or am I the only lucky one? HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone!!!
