This is a poor analogy. You can crash a modern Ferrari or Lambo at very high speeds and be ok, mainly thanks to the construction using modern composites. They cost alot more for a reason. SH5 is obviously superior to SH3. :|\\

I.m looking forward to playing this all next weekend.

Yah, but then a Lambo is _NOT_ a Wartburg v2... which SH5 may, on the other hand, very well turn out to be :ping:

I mean, still no independent engine / motor control for example? Meaning we still can't order, say, half power forward on the port diesel and back slow on the starboard one when turning? And still no running on electrics while surfaced?

S**t, I'll buy me a Lamborghini instead of SH5 then I think :rotfl2:

I agree run electric on surface ca n be a tactical advantage.

But I do not understand the advante of run one shaft forward and one back on a sub. They have only to shafts because the engine power of one diesel was "low". If it would such a big point they would not change design to one screw in modern subs, isnt?

Call be dumb but compared to the lenght and mass of a sub the two screws are very close together. Will the water flow not create 90% carvitation and only a 10% turning advantage in trade off a big loss of speed?

..even you will outturn mostly all surface threads with only rudder actions...

I mean isnt it better go as far as possible before these cans detonate?

Ok, you can conserve fuel by running only on one screw...in trade of speed.

The main advantage to having independent propellors was manuevering in harbors. Running one backwards dramatically increases your turning ability. In combat it takes time to relay the order and get the deed done. By the time an engine is reversed it's usually too late for it to matter anyway.

For the sake of graphics it would be need to see a damaged engine shut down for repairs, but it's hardly a game-killer.
