Rain Gear

Fish40 · 05-01-07, 06:19 PM

I finally got myself into alittle nasty weather off the Solomon Isls. Sloppy seas, mostly cloudy skies, and the sound of thunder. The only thing missing was the crewmen's foul weather gear. When do they don those, in a Hurricane? I submerged the boat in the hopes that when I resurfaced, they would be wearing their gear, but no go. Similar conditions in SH3 would arouse the need for raingear. Are the parameters for raingear different in this game?

I've noticed that too, although I could swear I did see the crew wearing waterproofs once in SH4, maybe it was pre the patch, I can't be certain.

I can only assume that the lack of rain gear in SH4 simulates the men in the US Navy being a tougher breed than those in the Kreigsmarine, as they are not bothered about getting wet, which may explain why the Germans lost the war. Or erm... not.

I ran into this yesterday. Surfaced in a bad storm, with heavy rain. The officer of the deck had on rain gear, but the two lookouts didn't. Must have been hot in the boat or the captain had the sub on water rations and they needed a shower.

I have several pics of my crew wearing rain gear in bad weather, to bad I have no place to post them.....

I ran into a rainstorm while playing last night, and the entire watch crew had their rainjackets on.

Odd.

They will only wear wet weather gear when it actually rains.

If that's true about the crew wearing raingear only during an actual rain event, that would explain why my guys weren't wearing theirs. There was no actual rain falling.
