The best we can do without going to that lenght, is be fair about the selection of speeds and ranges.

Giving the ADCAP near max range near its top speed and giving the UGST mininum range accurate with its range at top speed, as you and others including Fish pointed out, is not fair. So, we have given the UGST max range at max speed (27nm@50kts) and ADCAP near max range at near max speed (27nm@60kts). Amizaur suggested it and I believe that is both fair and playable.

I hope you guys agree.

Just a thought. The US subs don't have SUBROC's. Wouldn't that off set any unfairness? I say go for realism.
