Hello, Jan!

but is it worth collecting these data?

Even if I think every data is worth of collecting, I think data gathered from war patrol reports tell basicly about changes in fuel consumption due different weather conditions or different operation tempo. Reading war patrol reports definitely gives us a good picture how much fuel consumption varied from patrol to patrol. In SH4 we are however dealing with simulation, which certainly has some real life aspects (reduced speed in bad weather for example), but also which lack many of them.
What would be good thing to have is for example original speed/endurance/fuel consumption table for Gato-class submarine. I know these tables exist, but I haven't been able to get them.
However, with data availible we can calculate theoretical speed for Wahoo at two engine speed in ideal conditions. I'll take this guestion up in my next post, because now I have to get back to work again...
