As for qualified men, the devs said that they wanted it to feel like the best guys wanted to serve with you and they would say "no" if they didn't respect you enough.
Maybe they should have made the renown 'invisible'. That way you would request equipment or personel and be granted or denied, and never be sure why. That would have been more realistic.

Unfortunately that's exactly the opposite of the way it works in real life. The game helps you to cheat a lot if you know how to work it. |
Ok , I tested this last night guys. Batteries half-emptied, type IXB, only GWX2 and OLC-GUI mods. Speed at surface set at 8 kts.
Rangereport current speed when recharging: 3392 km.
Rangereport current speed when NOT recharging: 6670 km.
Dunno if it is broke on other boattypes, but on the IXB is works as it would IRL.
