If that makes any sense.

So when you upgrade to a MAN engine, you are in fact just upgrading the U-boat to its historic top speed, which on a VIIC is about 18 knots going flank. But in reality, the differences in GWX are now very very slight.
Whoa...that would have been good to know about two patrols ago.
