Hey y’all I have really been enjoying this mod for the last few days, but I have found an issue and tested it out in my current campaign to double check. The fuel ranges for S Boats is way off.

On my first two patrols I noticed that my range kept increasing, especially with staying underwater on battery power during the day. I would plot out a course/patrol of about 3000 nautical miles and when I checked the range at current speed button it would give me about 5700 nm. So I would get done with my course and the file gauge would say I only used up about a 10th or so, and the range button would give me a max range of about 4500 nm which didn’t make sense.

So with this experience I decided to test it out, I left port in July of 42 from Brisbane in S-33, and started to circumnavigate the map. I did it on Ahead Standard, so about 9 knots, the fuel range estimate button told me about 5700 nm’s before I ran out of diesel. I headed due East to South America where I went south through Cape Horn and continued due East through the Cape of Good Hope. Overall the plot says it was about 25000 nm and I finally ran out of diesel south west of Tasmania with only 2751 nm left on my journey.

There is something up with this. S-boats had about a range of 5000 nm’s in real life, if I remember correctly, so I was able to go about 450% farther then I should have.

I am not using any other mods and I am playing on 90% realism.

I have not tried this with any of the other classes, but if you want me to I will try it out when I have some free time.

This is a great mod overall, and I hope y’all can solve this issue with the subs ranges.

P.S. while I am here I was thinking, when you first start out in the Asiatic Fleet you should start out at the docks in Cavite instead of Manila if possible. It’s a small thing and not super important but I think it would make more sense conserdedinf that was where the Asiatic Fleet was based out of instead of Manila proper.

Thanks y’all.
