Type IXC, 10th Flottilla, 42, I think.

But would the superchargers affect fuel consumption? I got the 1500-renown one. It's like, in flightsims, afterburners do, just a tad.
Firstly, you can try speeds inbetween the 5kts and the 12kts marks. The slower you go, the further you go, so 8kts might get you there and back. In reality, U-boats did sometimes cruise along at very slow speeds to save fuel.

Secondly, superchargers do affect fuel consumption.
