I can't remember the best speed for a Type IIA.
Do a bit of experimenting, asking your Nav Officer for ranges at different speeds.

Sounds like you should think about dumping the fuel economy mod.
My IXBs (stock fuel) never had a problem with range.

You didn't buy an "engine upgrade", did you?
THAT will kill your fuel economy, big time.
(Besides, the increased performance is not historicaly realistic.)

I believe he may be playing GWX3.0 in which case there is no engine upgrade per say.

I have a question regarding GWX fuel economy.

For instance I am driving a Type IIa if I order Ahead Standard is that going to give me the best speed/economy as it should (similar to TM in SHIV) or do I have to set speed manually?

I simply use the telegraph instead of setting the speed manually.

Best speed in GWX is 1/3, or Langsemere Fahrt Voraus (next to slowest). OM in SH4 also uses Standard, and that's not the way they did it.

Ah so the U-Boats didn't have Ahead Standard as......*ahem* Standard Cruising speed. Ok that does help, I'll use A.S for the Canal and 2/3 or 1/3 until I get to my patrol grid.
