Weather Changes

Be careful what you ask for, you may eventually get far more rain than you want. hehe

The weather changes for me.

Most definatly the weather changes. From glassy smooth to mountain sized waves.

Its not like in SH3 where youd be stuck in a monsoon for weeks.

Yea you get weather changes, but mostly it foggy and calm. Perfect submarine weather.

Then when you do find a convoy, the weather's that rough you can't stop puking long enough to get a bearing on a target.

Be happy for calm seas because I get it so rough sometimes I have to up my depth to about 50ft just to see anything out of the periscope over the huge waves and then when im in the trough my conning tower is poking out... luckily the enemy cant see it in the valley of huge waves around me

that said i either have terrible rain + visability, or perfect visability.
was expecting to encountera little variety inbetween.
I never really notice it, the weather ussually sets in whilst im submerged.

only time i ever noticed real time change is when i was engaging a task force with 2 kongo's and a Yamoto ( my first sighting

)
flaming fog rolled in as i was making my aproach.

that damned Yamoto had a force field too. 3 torps in the morning, 2 torps the next evening, all blew up before they could reach it. talk about bad luck

The weather generator is a little weird, in my experience the weather seems to follow you around. I.e. if you leave port during a storm i've noticed that the storm will be bloody everywhere. Tested this earlier today, left port during a storm spent two weeks in the same location and the weather NEVER improved a bit, after that I travelled from Manilla to Pearl, still in the same stormy weather, no improvement. I hung around pearl for a week and still the damn weather didn't improve.

What gives? I know that storms occur in the pacific but lasting 4-5 weeks and being omnipresent does not seem right...

Anyone else noticed this?
