Default Cannot man gun in calm water. Rough water error.

In water that looks quite mild, I cannot man the deck gun. "Waters too rough" message. Error?

The guns are tied to the wind/rain levels just like the clothes the crew wears on the conning tower. If the crew is wearing bad weather gear, you can not man the guns.

True, but this is not the case. I have the error in calm weather.

To use the deck gun in any weather, open the sub type .cfg file, locate the line for Storm Conditions.

Change Storm Conditions=7,0.1; to =30,30.1 to allow use of deck gun in any weather conditions.

For example, using the type 7B:

c:/ProgramFiles(X86)/Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/Data/Submarine/NSS_Uboat7b.cfg

default:
StormConditions=7,0.1;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]

changed to:
StormConditions=30,30.1;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]
