9 knots seems to be the optimal speed in every sub I've tested. At the beginning of the career, 9 knots is Ahead 1/3 on a VIIB. Later, as I got better engines, my range went down at the same throttle setting. When I manually selected 9 knots as the speed, my range went back up. I've checked all three engine possiblities on the VIIB, two on the VIIC, and the engine on the XXI. I forgot to check it on the IIA, and I've never used any variant of the type IX so I can't say.
