Yeah tis the usual trade off
Now silent running takes you to 2 kts which IS silent running
Before it would take you to 3\4 Kts which meant you could still be heard
I know ppl could have set it to 2 Kts themselves but in the heat of the moment many didnt and then complained silent running wasnt silent running anymore
For the GWX team this saves answering multiple questions on that subject and IMHO is better anyway
Now when you hit silent running thats what you get
Sure on the surface it may be slower but not many travel ahead slow surfaced anyway as it not the most economic fuel setting
And travelling decks awash for a surface attack you will make less noise at 4 kts than 7 kts anyway so again its a bonus
All other speed settings are the same and untouched
