Hello, Steve, TorpX, Rockin, aanker!

Thx for the positive comments! I'm quite excited about some findings so far. (See 2.1. in the orginal post).

What comes to Fleet Boat Engine Hour Mod, I have to say I lost all data with my previous computer. Also - even if some progress was achieved - results were not totally satisfactory. After doing some raw calculations based on data found from The Fleet Type Submarine Main Propulsion Diesels Manual, I have a feeling that for example at 80-90 combination with one engine on the line later fleet boats (from Tambors onwards) were much faster than typical 6-7 knots used in most simulations and mods.

Also at the moment research comes first, mod second.

Greetings,

-RC-
