Hehe, I think the worst flaw in the game is in the XXI, ok it goes faster submerged than surfaced, but as far as I know because it had stronger electrical motors than diesels, ever tried to snorkel around with it in calm seas? Set speed to 8 knots and watch where the needle stops. At 10 knots... Correct me if I'm wrong but when you're submerged your boat creates more drag because more of it's surface is covered with water or not? Guess that's not taken into account by the game, only the maximum speed the boat can reach surfaced and submerged... I can get about 53.000km (IIRC) range out of the XXI that way, bad thing is you're prey for the airplanes, because early on you don't have that snorkel radarwarning reciever.
