Yup, gotta agree fully. I've noticed the same in OneAlex mod (been many years since I played GWX) so I cant remember if this is modeled there. It just makes zero sense to me. My rudimentary understanding was the electric engine (on one prop side, I believe usually starboard) was coupled to the diesel (on opposite prop side), and reversed, thereby becoming a generator and recharging the batteries. Even if that isnt exactly accurate, the recharging was done by the diesels and weather would have zero effect.
