Weather bug ?

That's the only real complaint I have with this game. I've sailed the seas with the US Navy for eight years. I've only seen the weather turn nasty twice. The first time was April of 1999 off the southern coast of Australia due to an Antarctic storm, and the other was a Category III Typhoon 150 NM east of Singapore in 2002.

Yes, the Atlantic Ocean is different than the Pacific, but my shipmates who sail in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean told me the same happens for them... calm with a sea state between 0 to 3. The sea almost looks like you're on a plate of glass with the occasional swell or two for 95% of the time.

This game tried to capitalize on the traditional weather patterns in the North Atlantic Ocean... but they applied that weather pattern to the entire map all year long. It's completely frustrating that you know what it's like in real life at sea... and play a "simulation" that lacks in realism in this department.
