Click on the button to the bottom left of the speed wheel and it will then display knots. Click and drag to the desired speed. |
Alternately, you can edit the speeds of the sub in its cfg file so that ahead slow (or silent running) is a speed more to your liking.
I have adjusted my VIIB like this
ahead slow set to 1+kt submerged (.15)
1/3 = 2+kt submerged for depth changes (.3)
standard = 7.5kt surfaced (.45 = most efficient setting)
full = 15kt (.9 or doubletime)
[EngineProperties]
AllStop=0.00
AheadSlow=.15;.40
AheadOneThird=.30;.57
AheadStandard=.45;.80
AheadFull=.90;.94
AheadFlank=1.00
BackSlow=-0.26
BackStandard=-0.40
BackFull=-0.53
BackEmergency=-0.66 |
An excellent fix while submerged but Ahead 1/2 & Ahead Standard effects when surfaced might be a bit difficult for some users to negate :p |
Actually not
Slow = creep submerged or steerage surfaced. Silent running...
1/3 = 1/3 actual - there is a reason it is called what it is. It is a utility setting that falls between steerage and standard. It provides submerged depth changing speed, and surfaced no wake speeds.
Standard = most efficient range setting for surfaced travel. Submerged it is what it is, which is kinda noisy. I will point out it is still quieter than stock 1/3 which was actually closer to 2/3.
Full and flank were already logical and unchanged. Any other desired setting is a matter of specific desired speed at the captains pleasure.
There is nothing to negate but the use of speeds settings that never made any sense. Unless you have a specific tactical or safety reason, no speed would ever be selected on the surface except the most efficient fuel wise, and that would be referenced as ahead standard.
A table of the VIIB (stock engine) settings and results are here.
