SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - I've been testing the Kilo battery endurance and would like to make a change

The USNI reference states that at 3 knots submerged a Kilo would do 400nm until its battery gets depleted.

So I did some testing on the improved Kilo running at shallow depth at 3 knots.

Its endurance was a mere 200nm. I haven't depleted the battery but it was less than 20% left and the Kilo hadn't even reached 200nm mark. Perhaps it would pass 200nm but it won't get too far from that range not even to 250nm.

I have DEedit and i've been looking on how to add some endurance to the Kilo but I just couldn't find the parameter that I need to change. Anybody could help me on this? I would like to multiply the current endurance by 2. I'm playing with LWAMI 3.08.

Or is this battery endurance actually hardcoded?
