Manning the deck gun in high seas - and drowning your gun crew - won't help anyway. Even a wave crashing over the deck temporarily interrupts the loading, aiming, and firing of the gun.

Some targets get away. Sometimes weather works against you. Sometimes torpedoes miss, sometimes they're duds. Sometimes ships suck up eels but don't sink. Sometimes after two hours of setting up an intercept the target changes course. Sometimes destroyers and aircraft get lucky.

Nature of the job. Just get used to it - the unpredictability of it all is a major plus for replay value.

Rykaird; I think your missing the point. aaronsk26 wanted to know how to correct the game to use the deck gun in "bad weather", not nessesarily high seas. The adjustments I gave allow this but still allow the game to not let your deck gus be used in high seas.
Besides, you can't drown your crew unless they are inside the boat.
