M.A.N engine upgrade makes my boat slower?

WilhelmSchulz. · 12-23-07, 09:09 PM

I have just finished my 3rd patrol. 1st with the M.A.N upgrade. and it turns out that the boat moves slower then without. I must be missing something here.

Yes there is tell your crew to loose 15 kilos and cut down on beer and extra fatty meat, and your bost should travel a lot quicker.

Well, if you ask Pen, she'll tell you that all MEN are slow.
So maybe thats the problem?

:rotfl: Not all men Privateer.

Though in seriousness, the man engine provides a speedboost to a player sub of a whole 0.5% not a great deal really.

If you provided more info we could better help you Wilhelm. What boat are you in command of for starters that would help.

Well while dooing flank speed I was only able to reach 15-16 kts. And this was in fair seas(about 7 mps).

I took the liberty of playing with a few tweak files using SH3 mini tweaker and can get my IX up to around 23knots in calm seas...infact the crew sometimes can get a pyramid going skiing behind her...they do get a bit wet from the rooster tail...but their having fun and it boosts morale....

Bump.

Did you test the speeds in the same weather conditions? That makes a huge diffrance.

a fine how do you do this is.... Well, after this post, I shall shut up, and leave your good self to your own devices.

The most obvious thing is, if you use commander and have sabotage or malfunctions checked, that could well slow you down.

As for reading the manual itself, its good advice it doesn't have all the answers but its nice to know people consult it first.
