Just a quick question, mates: The IXD2 has a stated range of 23700 km (GWX), but at 9 knots the navigator tells me that i can go app. 52000 km. I know that 9 knots is the most economical speed (this has been discussed in a bunch of threads), but what speed was used to get the 23700 km range? Was there a "standard" speed used by kriegsmarine to give the uboats their estimated range?
