Best fuel speed settings should be 2/3, which should be around 10 knots (in real life anyway).

To set them yourself go to Data/Submarine/Cfg for each boat. Stock settings are correct, and look like this:

[EngineProperties]
AllStop=0.00
AheadSlow=0.40
AheadOneThird=0.57
AheadStandard=0.80
AheadFull=0.94
AheadFlank=1.00
BackSlow=-0.26
BackStandard=-0.40
BackFull=-0.53
BackEmergency=-0.66

One weirdness of SH4 is that they didn't change the labels, so 'Ahead Slow' is in reality Ahead 1/3 and 'Ahead 1/3' is in reality Ahead 2/3, and that's still what the voices say. I fixed it for the German side but never got around to changing the American version, partly because I need my copy of Destroyer Command to do a thorough job, and it's still in storage.
