Hi all,

the data for the XXI I posted is from here:

http://www.uboatarchive.net/DesignSt...ypeXXI-S38.htm

It's a US design study from 1946. Look at the first paragraph on page 3. I guess this is the most accurate information we have at the moment.

The factor between CO2 accumulation with and without silent running is, IMHO, not so crucial (it will always be a quite crude modeling in-game because you don't have higher breathing rates because of fear,...). What is much more important is that an accurate submerged endurance is achieved. What I like about the higher factor is that the player has a larger benefit from using silent running. At the moment there is practically no advantage from switching silent running on.

Concerning the compressed air, I have no idea what to do. At the moment it seems pretty useless (is there anyone who was ever influenced by it in-game?). But how to make it useful or influencing your decisions in a somehow realistic way, I have no idea

Cheers, LGN1
