we just have a little rough sea... so i had them standing in there underwear in the next storm at the bridge while the watch had to get rest

still they refuse in a bit rough sea... i think il edit the file then

What they really mean is they don't want to have to hump 10,000 shells about

i think that is is a ridiculous limitation.

in my las patrol i found a gato submarine surfaced , after one torpedo impact i surfaced to try to finish it with another torpedo , but when i surfaced , it fire at will against me with the gun and AA .

i can´t fire my guns in rough waters but the enemy can...

... it´s not fair play

Hi!

For a little historical perspective, a quote from Teddy Suhren's memoirs:

"The first freighter that crossed our path was a Swede. We closed in on him on the surface, and hoisted on the periscope the signal 'Stop at once! Do not use your radio!' The Swede acted as though he hadn't noticed. To show him we meant business, we gave orders to man the 8.8cm gun on the foredeck, and approached him at half-speed. The boat rolled in a slight swell, sea state 3. When I looked over the bridge to give orders to the gun crew, I saw there was no-one on the gun. The movement of the boat had swept them away. Fortunately they were clipped with safety-harnesses and now hung suspended on ropes over the saddle tanks. The Kommandant reacted immediately and stopped the boat so that they could pull themselves back on board...One thing however we learnt from this: namely that in the Atlantic, travelling at any sort of speed, and maybe even head-on to a sea, the gun is useless. One could only just manage to stay on one's feet if the sea was completely calm."

Sea state "3" is generally correlated with Beaufort wind force "4" ("moderate breeze") or between 5.5 to 8 meters/second. This sea state means the waves are no more than one meter high.

Aye maybe so Pablo
But the SH3 weather isnt the real Atlantic weather
Lowering the sea state for guns means you would never be able to use them

:rotfl:

Tis a compromise I suppose
Wouldnt be so bad if the AI suffered due to weather too

I only want to shoot the 105 gun in a slighlty more choppy sea one or 2 knots more
