I realise that "Randomized" might be the correct spelling in the USA, but...

I was also sent to the same patrol grid as my last assignment. Not sure if this is a coincidence or not but something's fishy here. In all my campaigns and patrols, I have never enjoyed perfect weather from Wilhelmshaven to the AM grid via north of Scapa Flow...ever.

Yes, mere coincidence.

a) SH3Cmdr doesn't interfere with game messages or their appearance;
b) SH3Cmdr doesn't interfere with the weather settings (it does run SH3Weather if it finds it, but that's as close to tinkering with the weather as it gets);
c) SH3Cmdr doesn't automatically determine or set patrol grids. Indeed, in this instance SH3 would have already chosen the patrol grid before you even ran SH3Cmdr! Actually, repeated patrol grids is not that uncommon. If your previous patrol ended in the same month as the current patrol ended, you *may* get a duplicate grid as SH3 obtains a grid destination relative to the month of the last finished patrol, as opposed to the month of the next patrol, which is what you'd kinda expect (thanks to Rubini for this find). And with any randomisation, repeats are possible.
