The trouble is sometimes the advice from experienced real-life submariners gets in the way if particular
features are not exhibited in the sim.

Heres a case in point (No names no pack...) I post about DW sub turn rates and ex real diver confidently
asserts real torp avoidance drill would not allow (ever implied) max rudder plus max speed. And max rudder = speed burn off.

Now Seawolves SOAC drill for sub Subrock avoidance recommends just that . Futhermore tests in game
prove there is a very marginal burn off (Unralisticaly)

OK this is the exception that proves the rule - there are in game many normal instances where such
excessive manouvering is both unnecessary and undesirable.

Constant tension between reality v and simulation. :hmm:
