I guess I'm the sicko here. First, the wave vs wind in SH3 and later has nothing to do with reality. I keep the Wave Height adjuster in Commander set to 'Seasonal' and record that in my daily log. After I quit the game I bring up my trusty Beaufort Chart and compute what the actual Beaufort state would be, adjusting the real wind speed accordingly. Then I write down what the actual wave height would be for that Beaufort level. Then I have an idea of what should really be going on, weather-wise.
As for launching torpedoes? If my periscope is dipping under the waves at full extension, I don't waste my time or torpedoes. I just wait it out.
