Weather Woes

Mowinz · 06-01-07, 10:17 AM

I have seen a lot of bad weather also. Maybe it's because I begin some careers in the winter?? I tried a Med run not long ago and the weather was brutal. Maybe trying SH3 weather could help improve conditions or choosing a different month to begin.

I had set my SH3 Commander to "seasonal" and have since changed to 2x wave height. My deck crew would be submerged at times....have no clue what the wave patterns will look like now but I'll give it a go and see.

Cheers

I hope you guys have bettr luck than I've had. Closest I've come to sinking anything this trip was ramming a coastal merchie that Bernard didn't report until we were under it.

That is a BAD sound.

I think I left Willy and am returning to Waterworld... w/o Bernard- he's been offered a role as a guy named Kevin Costner...

Lots of bad weather on my end, too. I use SH3 Commander and always pick seasonal. Lousy, lousy weather during the winter. Sometimes you can hear the vomit sloshing back and forth in the bilge my men are so seasick....

Don't forget that your weather change probability counter resets everytime you save your game, so the best way to get it to change for the better is to play for a while without saving and when the weather is more to your taste save the game so it stays that way for at least the next few days.

Either that or play in the Med.

Thanks for the info, TarJak... I tried getting to the Med, but the Straits of Gibraltar were quite busy, and I latched onto a couple of convoys in the neighborhood... the thrill of the hunt took over, and instead of going INTO the Med, I wound up heading back into the Atlantic.

I'm learning, though.
