As an aside, from my understanding, your underwater speed isn't what dictates passive hydrophone detection. it's your engine's RPM's. Theoriticlaly you could do 17 kts underwater, but so long as your RPM's were say, 100 or less, you'd be silent enough to escape detection.
edit: i just had an idea, i dont know if it will work, and i dont really care enough to try it myself.
But...

All these are.. i think.. are a percentage of your total speed (or RPM). What if you were to increase the maximim speed of the sub to somethin totally outragous. But then limit, or throttle back its top speed via the engine properies in the CFG file.
For instance, 12% of say.. i dunno. 30 KT's is going to produce alot faster speed then 12% of 17 kts, and perhaps be somewhere near the same level RPM?
Then you take the max speed and cap it at i dunno, 60% .
Just a thought, i dunno if it would work.
