I'm playing GWX3 with SH3 Cdr and just changed to a VIIC. For some reason the boat just isn't getting up to any decent speed. Ahead flank on a perfectly calm and flat sea gives just 13-14 knots, and in heavy sea she struggles to even make double figures. Weirdly, at the first three engine settings (everything up to Ahead Standard) the boat happily keeps to her usual/expected speeds.

What gives? I've had the same problem in previous patrols in the same career, but that was with my faithful old VIIB ... I do have Sabotage/Malfunctions ticked in SH3 Cdr, is it related to that?
