By nice weather and calm sea I get :

Ahead 1/3 10 kts
Ahead standard 14 Kts
which is faster than what I was used to... but the autonomy seems to match for the same speeds.
My navigator gives me over 14.000 km for running 10 knts at ahead 1/3, which is the same as in NYGM by 10 kts, except I am on ahead standard instead of 1/3...
Also submerged ahead slow is 3 knots vs 2 knts in NYGM...
Will have to get used to it when jumping from one install to the other..  |
Corsair,
Just a note about speeds. The Real Life Uboat Behavior Mod, included in GWX apart from the positive buoyancy, makes the speed of the Uboat vary a lot, depending in the weather. The variability spans both when you "break" or "ride" a big wave and between different weather conditions. You should achieve the maximum nominal speed only when the weather conditions are almost perfect ie 0-2 m/s winds. This also has an implication on fuel consumption, which is less predictable now, making a safety margin essential when you plan for a long trip.
