Did some testing now when I got home to computer for some testing.
Speed Testing: All testing was in Full speed diesel engine:
- Negative tank Empty, F/A Ballast tank Empty: 18,0kn
- Negative tank Full, F/A Ballast tank Empty: 17,8Kn
- Negative tank Empty, F/A Ballast tank Full/Empty: 15,25Kn
- Negative tank Empty, F/A Ballast tank Full/Full: 12,95Kn
Next test I did what time it took to dive with different settings. time started at switching to electric engiene, diveplane preset down
Workorder:
- Diesel Full speed / Electric full speed / Open Negative / Open Ballast
13m -44s / 30m -54s / 50m -75s
- Diesel Full speed / Electric full speed / Closing Negative (full at start) / Open Ballast
13m -44s / 30m -54s / 50m -75s
- Diesel Full speed / Electric full speed / Toutching Negative (emty at start) / Open Ballast
13m -114s / 30m -130s / 50m -173s
*Edit want to test with ballast fully filled
Diveplane at Zero now, and Ballast full (off course this is the fastest way to dive, if maxspeed isnt an issue)
- Diesel Full speed / Electric full speed / Diveplane 0->-35 / Negative emty
13m -46s / 30m -71s / 50m -81s
- Diesel Full speed / Electric full speed / Open Negative / Diveplane 0->-35
13m -18s / 30m -35s / 50m -55s
So, If you have negative tank allways open, you loose 0,2Kn att FS, Donīt gain anything when diving. because its fills up faster then ballast tanks
If you donīt fill negative when diving you loose 70s to dive to 13m, but you get more controlled diving
I did it solo so take time as "isch", so if you full crew maybe can do it faster.
