Lada - Diesel or No Diesel ?
I started playing the Lada and found there is no snorkeling function, unlike in that of the Kilo. Is the Battery charging simulated in the RA version?

Lada is Air-independent propulsion (AIP) submarine. In RA this propulsion doesn't work correct because it allows to reach only small speed 4-8 kts
DW engine is obsolete and hav many limitations, so in RA all AIP submarines are like with unlimited battery capacity. |

I had in mind: in real world AIP allows to reach only small speed (depends on technology), probably from 6 to 8 kts.
All above this speed should depletes batteries much faster - similar like in classic diesel-electric. But in mod, AIP submarines haven't this limit. They works like nuclear ones :P (sorry, my english is far from good) Submarines with classic diesel-electric propulsion in RA mod: - all Kilo & Kilo improved (RU, CH, IR) - all Sauro batches (IT) |

IRL Lada is diezel-electric.
There was/is work on AIP, but the only sub of the class in service is conventional.

I know, the same is with Harushio class. In RA all are AIP. In Real only Asashio after modernisation in 2000
