This is actually more of a telegraph mod than a speed mod, but nice nonetheless. I see you use .2 .4 .6 .8 1.0 for throttle settings on all fleet subs. Was there a reason you did not include the S class boats ?

FYI and consideration,

1. .12 - .15 depending on sub, target speed 1-1.5 kt submerged
2. .33 - One third, good for patroling, lower fuel consumption per hour
3. .45 - Standard throttle, this percentage (.45) is MAX fuel efficiency
4. .90 - Double time, Military. Shake it don't break it.
5. 1.0 - MAX - Redline, Afterburner, Speed Imperative, Survival Override.

What you ordinarily want from engine room: Quiet, Time, Range, or Speed. (telegraph settings) Anything else is situational override. (dial clicking)

I have used these with good results for many months.
Yeah, its not what a purist would do, but its how I run my boats.
