With TMO standard speed used to be 10 knots, but he decided to give people more speed at the same milage so people didn't have to snail around the ocean. If you actually go use 10 kts, your sub will get unreal milage. You also have several tabs with TMO where you can check milage at current speed, etc....

Now, how you ran out of fuel before Manila fell.....you would have to explain that, least you know when it will fall. Sometimes starting Manila I will use flank speed and head to the Bungo so I can attack the TF returning from attacking Pearl Harbor. If I flank back to base after the attack, I still make it in time.

I don't see how anyone can run out of gas in TMO if they go at 10kts, so if you run low, take advantage of it.
