Now I am confused and feeling pretty stupid here.

So Floater

Lets say we have 2 uboats heading north at flank speed.

The need to change to head east asap.

sub A Starts his turn and sustains it at flank speed all the way through.

Sub B Starts his turn (full rudder) however decreases speed as fast as possible also until sub reaches about 2 knots then speeds back up again equally as fast as possible.


Which sub will face East faster?


I would have thought that the flank all the time sub would make a wider turn and thus take longer.

I am so confused now.

Did they not do a similar move in Red October or am I missing something here. I am sure this was counted as good advice for sh2 game.
