Ive been moaning on the SH3 Forum that I never seem to get any bad weather in my campaigns.My current patrol has me down in the South Atlantic and between the Canaries and the Cape Verde Islands I've had the most terrific storms with huge seas,rain and howling winds.Now I'm embarrassed to go on the bridge because when I do I get these really accusing stares from the people on watch.  |

hahah i was getting really pissed with the weather yesterday. If you check out my luftwaffe post i dont go into it but at the time i was tracking the cargo ship i had been in crap seas for about 6 days. I was getting really stressed because i couldnt shoot anything then all of a sudden it became nice weather, and then the luftwaffe got my kill lmao. But i was still smiling because it was so cool. The weather sometimes seems really unrealistic, then i go and read the Iron coffins or some book of history and read of convoys heading across the Atlantic with terrible weather for the whole journey!! And uboats which have bad seas for weeks, so all in all i think for a random weather system its wicked!  |

That is where I am now, in my IXB boot.
And man is it bad. The seas are so bad in this storm that I can't hardly find anyone to attack much less to be able to stay on the surface long enough to just get my batteries charged, and air in my boat.
But I have to say that I love it.
It's hard but make me think how the guys in the boats of all the Nations involved in the war felt. Man I thought I have had it hard? They must have been black and blue with injurys after riding around on the surface like that for a day.
Much less for the three days this storm has been raging!

Yeah there is a cool bit, either in Iron coffins or in the War of the atlantic where a uboat sails past a convoy and the weather is terrible. They sail by a british ship but its so bad they cant attack, and the British can see them but cant do anything. Both are just fighting to survive the weather and stay floating.
It would scare the crap out of me, as i cant swim. Though saying that the two times i have been on a boat and near to sinking i have not been panicky, i think im a bit of a fatalist though. Or maybe its like when men talk about war and say, "you dont think it will be you that dies". Its probably something like that.
