Using the weather

KrazyDimondRX · 01-09-16, 08:18 PM

I have searched this topic fruitlessly, maybe you can help.

I can use my watch officer to tell me the weather including the sea state. Thats great, but it is only telling me what i already know from spending a few seconds up top.
This seems pretty useless when what i want to know is where the good/bad weather is(and going) so i can use it to infiltrate/exfiltrate as the need be.

Am i missing something? Or are weather reports as useful as all the radio messsages i get??

Mods-GWX3 and just a few others, skins etc.

Thanks for your time,
KDRX

If i remember correctly, as with a lot of games, there was originally going to be a lot more to silent hunter 3 than there was at the time of release. I think the weather report option was originally going to be far more in depth than it is

In other words requesting weather reports are, at present at least, a waste of time.
Thanks for your reply, i was worried i was under utilizing all the tools at my disposal as it seems late '43 requires all the tools in the tool bag to survive.

Thanks again,

I think, that the weather in SH3 is the same for the whole world.
In this case, more useful it will be to report forecast, when and to what will change.

Do you mean that if it's stormy in one place on the map it's stormy everywhere on the map??
