    Not sure if anyone has picked up on this (and excuse if this has already been posted, forums move to quickly) but I think the reason due to some people having problems with no rain is the time compression.

    This is a picture of me getting rain which I never have a problem with...




    No here is a picture after I time compressed at 1024...





    Notice that I did a weather check and the Navigator still stated heavy rain. And the time is a half our later, however, the rain started to be visible again after about a minute or so.
    I think when you time compress, the rain somehow lags behind you as if it were in the previous spot before you time compressed. It just takes a little time to catch up so to say. Hope this can be fixed in future patches.

    No the bugs not time compression related, as i can set up single missions with rain and not use time compression and its not there.

    Its supposed to dissapear past 32x compression. The problem is on most everyones computer (i think) its not appearing due to some problem. I check the weather lots and should have seen truck fulls of rain. Like weeks worth, but saw about 2 hours worth in a year. I know the programmers have put it in as i get the reports, and i have seen it. Its just not drawing sometimes for some reason. And the lack of acknowledgement from anywhere is starting to bug me a little i must say...

    RommelsMind,

    It might be useful if U state your system specs. I'm thinking why some of the folks on here dun see the rain could be the program detecting a shortfall in required specs and hence not simulate the rain...

    No rain could depend on you PCs processor and the amount of RAM you have.... but not sure. It's just a thought only, as I've had no problems with finding rain and rough seas.
    It might also depend on the ingame date whether or not you have it. Enjoy the clear weather while you can, even tho bad is better so you can't be seen that easily. The North Atlantic can be treacherous. So run submerged during the day if you can, and come up at night for refreshing your batteries and air supply.

    I have rain in spades. Only problem is that my navigator keeps telling me that its heavy fog.

    I tracked an armed trawler in this soup for hours. Finally made the first visual contact at 300 yds. Unfortunately his guns were still able to fire and he nailed me with his second shot. My gun could not fire in the storm of course.

    There was really no good way to track him in the storm and it wasn't worth the time once I realised it was only a trawler.

    Its been raining for two days on this patrol after not having seen rain once in previous 3 patrols.
