Got it figured out. I was trying to edit the wrong damn file !!!

Found this below to help others.

Thanks for the help Skippers !!!

MU !!!!

First of all there is the confusion about what constitutes a storm. Winds of 15 m/s? That's Beaufort 7, roughly 30 knots, and waves 4 meters high. The game doesn't allow for anything higher than that, but with SH3 Commander you can set the wave height so it can be double what it normally is in the game, reflecting 30 m/s winds and 11 meter waves.

You can modify the state for gun use yourself. Go into the folder Data/Submarine/ the u-boat you want to change. Scroll down to this part(I chose the Type VIIb, but it's the same for any boat):

[Properties]
PeriscopeDepth=12;meters
SnorkelDepth=10;meters
CrashDepth=70;meters
MaxDepth=300;meters
SurfaceDepth=5.8;meters
TorpLaunchMaxDepth=20;meters
StormConditions=7,0.1;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]

I changed mine to look like this:

[Properties]
PeriscopeDepth=13;meters 12.5
SnorkelDepth=13;meters 12.5
CrashDepth=63
MaxDepth=500;meters
SurfaceDepth=8;meters
TorpLaunchMaxDepth=20;meters
StormConditions=11,0.4;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]

Now my crew can man the guns in winds up to 11 m/s. I'll man flak gun in that maelstrom, but the deck gun is right out.

You can set yours to 15 if you want, but bear in mind that the clothes are tied to it as well, and they'll never put on their wet-weather gear.
