They don't give a source for that quote. Navweaps says nothing about it, and they quote several sources. On the other hand, they do say that the fast setting was troublesome early in the war as it caused the torpedo engine to overheat.

May not be 100% accurate, but close enough.

You'll also find more info here and here.

I'm quite interested in this, so once you've got the boat working, if you need any assistance in creating playable campaigns (including creating S-Flotillas, new ports, patrol grids and the like), just let me know.

how bout a commerce raider like a dd or the Scharnhurst next?? they were used as commerce raider ships during the war...

NealT 02-02-08 08:16 PM

Your persistence is paying off...really looks great.

Cannot wait until it is finished and released...

sh3rules 02-02-08 08:24 PM

This looks very interesting.

Sniper_Fox 02-02-08 09:23 PM

whats the range on this thing?

gimpy117 02-03-08 12:06 AM

Ok...attempt 4

Is there any chance of having a Detchland class as a commerce raider ship....so we can really lay the pain on some ships.

i think this would be fair, we could make it almost impossible to NOT see on the surface and you must come up on a convoy to attack it and dare it's defenses!! Just think, meeting a task force and slugging it out with the big guns!

Sniper_Fox 02-03-08 01:36 AM

yeah hes right, we should get a nice comerce raider, or some kind of cruiser, its one thing to be the bismark, and rule the sea, but being your average cruiser? thatd be challenging aswell

bigboywooly 02-03-08 06:18 AM

I think the S boot is a good choice
The trouble with a heavy cruiser upwards is there is no challange unless you meet a battlegroup with a heavy or 2

USS Sea Tiger 02-03-08 06:40 AM

I fully agree, Schnelboots forever!
 
The big boys wouldbe nice,, but BORING,, fast in,, fast out,

I built some for Trainz, Love the s-100 klasse

What a lovely looking piece of kit http://imgcash3.imageshack.us/img412...uplargeon1.gif

gimpy117 02-03-08 12:00 PM

i would still love a Detchland class, would be fun...heck if we make it almost impossible to miss on the surface, 3 DD's would still be somthing you would not want on you. or Maybe just that "Commerce Raider" ship you see in game....
