Ok so I've gotten into the bay, took the pictures of the subs, snuck out and half way home out of gas.

I've gone into the bay, did the recon of merchants, killed a few, haf way home out of gas.

Now it was obvious I wasn't going to make it home because it took more than 50% fuel to get there. I was at 2/3 speed and and standard and making sure that as soon as my batteries were charged I would go to periscope and run off batterythus maximizing my fuel, and it still took a bit over the 50% to get to the objective. Silent running was not an issue cause I don't do that much. I even went as far as coming to a complete stop to recharge my batteries so I wouldn't burn gas and still didn't make it.

Someone have a reason for this?. I keep thinking when you compress time it screws the economy up, and I run alot of compresion to and fro. I keep it around 1000.

Any help would be appreciated.

Oh yea, running 1.5 with no major mods, just green bulbs, the compass rose and clearer torpedo wake.
