Fooled into looking up data and doing tests? You have "looked up" 1 thing, and then distorted that to meet your anti XXI agenda (I don't understand that, it is little more than a submarine. How can you hate a submarine so passionately?) Your "tests", one actually, did not prove much of anything. You assumed that a u-boat crew would critically damage their batteries by completely discharging them. In reality they would probably try to recharge their battery at about the 25 to 50% mark. Plus the average cruise speed of the XXI underwater was any where from 4 to 8 knots, although I have found a source stating it was 6 knots. Your test was at 5 knots. If you really wanted the XXI in SHIII to perform like the real thing you would have performed more tests at different speeds.

As it is now, all you have conclusively proven is how little you care about the accuracy of the XXI boat. I don't care about an "uber-boat", as I pointed out before. If I did. I would have loved the infinite battery charge mod, wouldn't I? I only want it to match the performance of the real XXI.

Thank you Beery, defender of accuracy, protector of all things realistic! You have let down the users of the XXI by inconclusive testing, inadequate information, and heavy, obvious bias. *sigh* I should have known you would do this when I saw your anti XXI bias at the Ubisoft forums. Very well, do not trouble yourself with the XXI. Others, me included, will find out how it performed and make the appropriate modifications. We, quite frankly, don't need you to hold our hands to get historical realism.

(Note) – As I have mentioned before. Had your tests actually been conclusive I would have been very happy with how the XXI is right now. In fact, had you REALLY proven that the XXI took several days to charge I would have congratulated you on your hard work. Although, heh, I might still have tried to fix the 100% battery charge bug.

Also, does anyone know what kind of generator the XXI u-boat, or any u-boat actually, carried and what its charging ability was? Lets get some real numbers.
