Sounds like a good way to get those pesky enemy escorts off you in "bad" weather. LOL Just sit back and watch 'em sink, then go in for the kill.

While you are in mini tweaker you might want to go to SCENE_DAT , SEA FOAM and change the ANIMATION SPEED to 2 .

I dont think DD's actually were completely sunk in storms, as far as I know the US fletcher class had some troubles with seakeeping in the atlantic because of the flat bow, but as long as the ship didnt capsize it would stay above the waves.

For fishing boats and other small ships there should be a mod implemented in GWX so you simply dont encounter them during bad weather....because they stay in port just like in reality.

What about those daring fishermen where no waves could stop them and would venture off into the suicidal storm? D:, There must have been a few who thought they could brave the storm, no?

Unfortunately i dont think its possible . The game could have had something like dont spawn above certain wave height for certain ships . Maybe theres some adjustment in the SCENE_DAT . Its more of a discussion than a mod .

You might want to check this out if you think DD's could handle all weather. Capsizing was a real risk on some small ships and there were a number lost in storms duing the war.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Wisconsin_%28BB-64%29

"The next day the weather, however, soon turned sour for Halsey's sailors. A furious typhoon struck his fleet, catching many ships refueling and with little ballast in their nearly dry bunkers. Three destroyers, Hull (DD-350), Monaghan (DD-354), and Spence (DD-512), capsized and sank. Wisconsin proved her seaworthiness as she escaped the storm unscathed."
