Can weather destroy ships?

... also, the "red" icon is a visually identified enemy vessel sunk. The grey one never came within visual range to be identified as enemy, neutral or friendly.

Thanks for the replies. I don't feel so paranoid now. Still want to head back to Kiel and

cause this weather is for the loons.

And I’m pretty sure that if you can get a shot or two in before the storm takes her, you get the credit too.

The weather usually changes every 3 days. You might want to give that a try, however, if it is during winter months, the weather might get from bad to worse

Technically, what I think happens (if SH3 zones work in similar manner to SH5 zones), is that in heavy seas certain damage zone types that are designed to flood/get damaged when at specified depth are repeatedly being submerged below their "trigger" depth for a moment because ship is rolling on the waves so much, resulting in more and more flooding over time. If the ship leaves rendering area before flooding damages it too much, it will survive, but if you keep contact with it, damage is increasing faster than its crew repair rate and weather doesn't change, it will eventually sink.

Indeed !

These are the front and aft two damage zones which are used to trigger the actual sinking of a ship when the bow or stern of this ship is diving underwater. This prevents to have a ship half submerged and still not sinking.

No no. It's war time. BdU wants results, so you stay at sea as long as you don't sink anything or there's enough fuel to return home.
