Just thinking that simulating driving with just one diesel by dropping your speed to 4 knots. I'm not totally sure if this is realism if talking about VII or IX boats. Schaeffer (Cmdr of U977) wrote 6 knots was slowest speed ahead VII could go on the surface. It's not mentioned if that was done with one or two diesels, so I just assume he must be talking about using just one engine. (The boat was getting close to Norway coast in the darknes and they wanted drive as slow as possible).
So I think it's very much possible Dev's didn't gave a single thought on that one diesel / two diesel thing at all when adjusting engine orders and speed releated.
