But be that as it may, when you press rig for silent running, increasing the speed from a quiet 55 seems to me to be a mistake or a flaw.

gents,

you know more than you think you know: you walked around the solution.

when a kaleun orders salient routine by pressing the proper key, two things happen:

1. certain pre-programmed, interior noise factors are reduced. we cannot change these.
2. speed is set to slow speed.

#1 is unchangeable and so it will not be discussed here.
#2 is changeable by switching the speed EOT to display knots, and then setting your speed manually that way. you can also change the EOT settings in the Submarine.CFG file in the \data\submarine folder.

so, set silent routine, then set your speed to 1 or somewhere between 1 and 2 kts.

or modify the EOT such that the lowest speed setting will generate speed between 1 and 2 kt.
