And this brings us to another limitation of the game engine: wind speed being capped at 15 m/s and the engine's inability to emulate the natural behavior of ships in rough seas.

What good will it be if we know there was a monster storm in November 1941, when all we can have is the same moderate swell?

There was a mod for SH3 that doubled the wave height at the same wind speed, and SH3 Commander modified it by season. Could not the same be done for SH5?

It can be done, no problem there. However the ships' physics will look like s**t.

That's what I was talking about. We can have high waves by a tweak similar to what has been done for SH3, but the sub on rails effect is here to stay
