The problem is the "Min/max'er syndrome" . "OMG 2/3rds is the most efficient, so NOTHING else is viable!!!one111" That simply isn't so. Do you think a real submarine captain would travel at the same speed the entire length of a patrol? Mix it up, you'll be pleasantly surprised if you think about your fuel, and plan ahead.

As for torpedo tubes, no i haven't touched them.
Just seems to burn a lot of a fuel traveling at ahead standard to patrol area as opposed to previous version, I do cruise at 10 knots because am aware they wouldnt travel at 15 knots the entire time in the area . 15 when en route to area.Does the fuel still account for fuel in the ballast tanks?(assume it does since that special ability is disabled still)
