Pausing game affect weather clock ?
I'm in the 45th game hour of shadowing a convoy, waiting for the wind/waves to go down to attack. No fog throughout. Glad there is tc. Using Hsie' s weather mod via his patch.
I know a reloaded saved game can mess with the weather. Pausing the game for awhile do the same ?

Never had weather mess from day one with a save re-load in SH3 nor SH4. Only SH5 does.
I pause the game from time to time (SH3/SH4) and no issues either. Only thing can mess up the weather is high TC

Yes the only thing that I have found out that will really mess the weather up was TC

Ok, thank guys. I never go above 256x, so no problem there. Guess I'll keep shadowing the convoy until the wind drops.
So many great chances to attack if only the wind/waves would calm down !

Depending what mod you’re playing, but waves often hide you and makes things difficult for DDs to hear/detect you ... it’s very difficult to approach a convoy when flat sea. I always prey for bad weather

Convert 12 m/s on up to a Beaufort scale equivalent, and I seriously doubt an attack would have been possible in real life. 11 is even pushing it. Also the rubber duckiness of the boats in GWX make most shots miss anyway in those winds. (Even after I applied Thomsen's Parameters to them).

John,
I always do a save in 1TC and in the Navigational Map screen. Never really had issues with game saves or weather. Currently just overtook a convoy in CG 17 and moving into a forward position on the stb side of the convoy around 10 km from it. It is now just past midnight and in a short while the ball will begin. Good hunting, FUBAR295
