Since you told me about that in your last PM I took a look. In the .sim file there's a controller called unit_submarine which has fields for ranges. I understand that changing the range for submerged range will do it.

Currently the submerged range is entered as 96 miles (nautical miles I guess) at 2 knots. Wikipedia lists an underwater range of 48 hours at 2.5 knots for the T-class boats, which equals to 120 nautical miles at 2.5 knots.

Wiki also states that at the maximum underwater speed of 9 knots batteries would last just 1 hour. You could test those values and see if this max speed endurance is also close.

Hope this helps
Thanks for that info, about the range section JapLance... have no way of taking a look... under the hood there, on that aspect, nor the knowledge of what I'd be doing that'd make Me.. confident to go poking abut in that section. I know My limitations... & that's.. an area I don't feel confident to go poking about...
