Well 15 meters per second game wise is the same as "Beaufort Scale" #7 which is pretty heavy seas of 13 1/2 to 19 ft waves looks like this.......

Beaufort Scale link......http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_scale

The sub should be tossed around.

Ok, when I'm using ROW pitch and roll mod for the sub I do not get the surfing sub. A little bit but not like it was in stock. Are you using the ROW pitch and roll mod?

Stock 1.4 and in a 15 m/s storm the sub is like a rock and roll star. :rotfl: I've never seen it surf on the waves like some tell it for stock 1.4, it's allways the bow dips and the stern comes up and vice versa.

Eddit: OPPS....Maybe your last post was not meant for me?
Sorry AVGWarhawk.

It was for Davyjones. No problem Just seems strange he is experiencing this. Angus might be on to something as LBO got a crap load of changes when incorporated in ROW. Might be a good idea to dump the LBO and current ROW files. Download fresh ROW files and wait on Krillers scene.dat file to be completed for ROW. The new scene.dat and two bugs that were repaired have done wonders

[Angus89]

Btw, you mentioned LBO. It is included in Row. Might be a conflict there. Or just save you loading redundant files.

[DavyJonesFootlocker]

Yep, using Row Pitch and Roll mod. Somebody help! Damn waves stalling my sub! Talk about going nowhere fast! Think I'll take off LBO as mentioned above. The Row mod replaced some things from it. No kidding the waves are high enough to cover the whole boat.

Just a small addition, but you are in a submarine. Dive below the storm as they did in reality. Storms also will wreak havoc on your fuel consumption.

From what I read, they road them out on the surface. I do not remember the reason.

I don't think there was a hard and fast rule but the CO had to consider the ship's saftey. If there was a need to resurface before the weather cleared it was a risky operation. You can't see or hear if you are coming up under something. The boat is unstable and a severe roll or pitch could realese the high pressure air being blown in to the main ballast tanks allowing them to reflood and depleating the air banks for another try.

I was going to post "What the heck are you doing on the surface in this kind of sea state".

Now Im wondering... Ive always just dived when the seas were too rough and sleep through the storm at a few knots.

Wonder what the reason for taking a pounding like that is.

Here is the next headache and this really sucks. Some of the mods were found to have a letter capitalized in the file name. When JSGME looks to return the original file to it's stock place after deactivation, it does not move it as it is looking for the replacement with the same name. With the capital letter, JSGME will not return the file. Therefore it is lost. At least his is how it was explained in a thread a few weeks back. Therefore, I would (you do not have to) delete the entire game and make sure all files and folders are gone. Fresh install of game and mods. Just get the ROW files only. The new scene.dat file from Kriller will just be an addon. Do out at end of week he is hoping. Load, activate and you are set. It is up to you how you want to handle that.

Yes, I still remember that blunder I had made. I had discovered this in an older version of JSGME, whereas there was a newer one out that took care of this (which I thought I had) Latest JSGME disregards upper/lower case and replaces/backups files properly.

ETA: Interesting topic title, DavyJonesFootlocker...very uh...descriptive :rotfl:

DJFL is getting a reputation as a complainer in my book. The cursing as the next level does not surprise me. 15m/sec is the maximum wind speed the game will produce which when sustained long enough WILL produce the maximum wave height of 20 ft. Ride it out surfaced or submerged. Just be glad your boat doesn't react the way real boats do in that weather and your crew so sick they are only 50% effective. Be glad you're not kissing the ocean as you rock back and forth and the ocean is not pouring into the hatch.
Be glad you can still use the deck gun in 15 winds and 20ft waves because UBI got so much flack in SH3 they stablised the boyancy model so you can do whatever you want all the time.
