I would only go to standard, full or flank if stalking a contact. While the AA is deficient, the faster dive time along with the radar detection gives me plenty of time to ge to PD and stay undetected.
I really only use the Waterdrive to sprint below the layer or overhaul a target ahead. In both patrols, I returned with fuel left here as well.

I'm operating from Penang, and my missions are always off Africa or Aden/Iran.
I simply CANNOT get there, I've actually had to turn on Unlimited batteries  just so I can get there!  (Does having unlimited fuel give unlimited Walter turbine?) |
If you cannot but others can you simply do something wrong with fuel management. I suppose you travel into assigned patrol area too fast.
