GWX 2.1 Submarine configurations Engine settings

[thehiredgun]

I believe that somehow i've gotten the older engine settings because Top speed on ahead 1/3 is 10 knots max Ahead Flank is 17. Normally ahead 1/3 is 12 knots & flank is anywhere from 18 to 21 knots ! I need someone to P.M. me with the correct GWX 2.1 Engine configuration settings.I'm in a IXC

Two factors should be considered/taken into account:

1) What are the sea conditions

2) Are you running on standard propulsion

I'll add a third:
Do you have saboutage/malfunctions checked under SH3 Commander? That one is always catching me out.

I do not have that checked in SH3 Commander. Please help with my speed if anyone can? I am going ahead 1/3 at 10 knots instead of 12 knots. What is the speed of everyone else doing?

10-11 knots in a Type IXB with turbos (I guess this is what Buchiegeblase (sp?) amounts for, in opposition to 'supercharged' Kapselgeblase (again, sp?)). Make sure you are running both propellers, if you charge the batteries one propeller is disconnected from its engine and the speed drops (down to 7-8 knots for me).

Consider the fact that the rough sea will lower your speed. In calm sea, my IXB goes around 10KT at 1/3 ahead, and 18-19 at flank.

I believe he is all sorted now http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif
