Admittedly it's a different boat, but in a Balao leaving Midway, sailing west until beyond a 500 nm circle centered on Wake Island, then heading SW to the Luzon Straits, I can get there with roughly 75% diesel remaining. Now, I am running surfaced at Ahead 2/3 almost all the time. I submerge for an hour or so anytime I pick up aircraft, so many days I am on the surface the entire time.
Thanks.

It appears that something has become SNAFU.

Although I hate to do it, I am going to re start a new career.

On the bright side, I am going to add RSRDC for TM to my installation and I am also going to add in the mod mentioned above that tweaks the endurance (amoungst other things) of the subs. Really the most frustrating thing is the amount of time invested - but that is part of the reality of high-end simulations. Lord knows how much time I've spent in Falcon4 and IL2 sorting things out.....
