Or maybe I'm just being contrary.

Storm conditions meaning the point at which your guys refuse to go out there?

If so, that's actually change-able, and where might one go to do this?

Seasonal for me!

I think GWX does it for you, and I know NYGM does. If you're not using either one, make sure you're patched to 1.4b and go to each individual 'Submarine' folder. You'll find a line called 'StormConditions'. Raise the value to 11, or even 15 if you like. Since I'm using x2 waves I don't let my guys go to the deck gun if I can see water washing over the deck, but it seems more real to let them use the flak guns at a little higher setting.

Thanks, I just looked and saw what you were talking about. There are also comments next to it in each to let you know what the values are for. One being wind speed and the other being how bad it's raining.

I agree regarding the Flak, that's the part that annoyed me most. Especially on those U-boats where the guys are in a cage right up in the control tower anyhow.

Oh, I forgot: be aware that the bad weather clothes are related to the same file. If you set the values for higher, you might find yourself in high waves and pouring rain and your watch crew will still be wearing short sleeves.

Sorry but I have a noob question .I want to change it to seasonal but I've just started my first patrol do I have to finish this patrol before I can change this setting in SH3cmdr (I'm using GWX 1.3 which I thought automatically did the seasonal)
Thanks

I use it, seasonal - now "surfing" Der Mittelmeer

TarJak · 04-01-07, 02:15 AM

Looks like i'm with the majority using Seasonal. Always have since getting SH3Commander after a bit of experimentation.

I don't know for sure in this case, but it would be a good idea to wait (unless JSCones himself tells you different).
