Heavy seas and the bridge watch?

I don't need no Luger on my crew! In heavy seas and rain you can't do anything either way except holding on hard to something steady or being rammed by a Zurstorer...

"Chief take us to 25 meters and make turns for 1 (or 3) knots" depending on if we're in transit or hunting.

Than I can lay down in my "cabin" and get some sleep finally.

I bad weather I go to PD and wait it out.

@2knots submerged you should be able to sit it out for most of a day...the only limitation will probably be the build up of Co2 :hmm:

My crew are so hard they don't want there rain gear on and the reason. They tell me the storm will be over in five days time so they don't give a toss. Veteran Crews are the best crews none of that wet behind the ears nappy wearing crew for me, no sir.

In real life a watch was kept any time the ship was on the surface. One u-boat had the entire watch crew washed overboard. Since the hatch was shut against the weather they didn't know about it until the next watch went topside to relieve them.

captain: "good... they were bernards anyway"

Are you running the Weather Mod? Doing this in the stock version will result in a low battery and low O2.
The reason I'm asking is that I just installed the weather mod and have yet to try it out.
Also, have you noticed that if a storm comes in and you havent changed the watch, the watch is still up there with no foul weather gear. Keeping them up in that mess with that gear is truly sadistic!

The way to get rid of Bernards, lock them up on die brücke in a storm!
