3. What's so special about all these addons I keep hearing about?
1. Standard will kill your fuel effeciency. Try 2/3 or 9kts on the really long runs. Recharging batteries further kills your efficiency, even at 2/3 so try to keep the batts at 75% or better.

2. Nope. Been waiting on a milkcow since SH2.

3. Depends on who you ask. I think the add-ons rock but my opinion is not shared. Or might you mean mods?
