Default Who adjusts wave height in SH3Cmdr?

Have decided to celebrate my 200th post with a poll/survey.

Having reloaded a while back, I guess to go to GWX102 at the time, I realized yesterday that I hadn't selected the seasonal wave height option in SH3Cmdr. Feeling I wanted to stick with the realism (my own perception of same) of seasonal, I switched back to seasonal and H**y S****s are the waves ever high (October), I'd forgotten ... I'm spending half my time on the surface actually under the surface.

So this got me curious as to how many people use the SH3Cmdr feature to set wave height, and if they do, what setting they use. So join me in my 200th post and let us know your wave height settings.

Yes. Seasonal. Great in summer. A pain in Winter.

Yes seasonal here too.
Using the GWX and I still havent encountered a storm to see those high waves.
Also went thro the Channel back in my NYGM days without being detected.

Guess I'm just lucky

I set it to standard.

I would love to set it higher, but I find it incredibly annoying to see the watch crew remain on station while submerged

Seasonal, it's all the little things like this added up that bring so much realism to this game imho.

I set mine for Double, and have ever since the original Big Waves mod. Why not Seasonal? Because once again I can't use the deck gun but it looks calm in summer. Of course I have the Storm Conditions set fairly high, so I actually can use the gun, but it's the principle of the thing.

Or maybe I'm just being contrary.
