That sounds very familiar! I mentioned earlier of seeing ships rock violently with calm seas.

When doing my test missions for correcting ship height/length, I'll place each stationary ship in a circle around a sub. Knowing its true distance from the sub, I'll use a math formula to determine the accurate height of the point used by the stadimeter. That's how I correct the height measurement found in the Recognition Manual for Optical Targeting Correction. It's been a while ago, but I remember seeing a ship rocking back and forth that was almost too much to get a good stadimeter measurement. I remember going into the mission and turning up the wind factor to see what would happen. The ship sank within a couple of minutes all by itself. Regrettably, I don't remember which ship it was, or which mod I was using (hey.....I'm at the age where I forget what I've done with my beer!). It could have been RFB 2.0 because I did have the ships corrected for dimensions before losing my hard disk a couple of months back.

I'll be revisiting my test missions soon to check all RFB+RSRDC ships. I'll probably find it again. I'm still trying to fix a few things as I come up on them with RFB+RSRDC. I've found six different planes without sound files. Also a couple of other issues with reversed bow ship wakes or no wake at all. Just little stuff that shouldn't be in the game.
