fuel consumption

[fgsr1969]

can someone tell me if theres a fuel consumption mod or how to decrease the range of all boats. im using fall of the rising sun 1.2 and find the range of the sclass way out of wack. i believe the historical range was 5000 miles but im lookin at around 15000 right now.

Some time ago I asked Ducimus (TMO creator) about what I thought was excessive range for the S boats. It's been a while, but he responded with details about the S boat engine(s) and said their range was about 17K miles as I recall.

The range on the S-18s would have been 5000nm (9,000km) and about 8000nm (15,000km) on later versions of the S-Class.

As of 1939:


S-18: 8950 nautical miles at 9.5 knots
S-42: 10,000 nautical miles at 8.1 knots
