Sub fuel ranges

Flaxpants · 07-16-10, 02:04 AM

Just wondering how some of you more experienced players manage your fuel loads. As far as I am aware I can only get two indications of my fuel/range- The fuel gauge, and the navigator report on maximum range at current speed. The navigators report seems to vary wildly- last night whilst on patrol (and travelling at a constant engine speed), the reports seemed to go from 5000k up to at one point 11,000k, but I appreciate that variables like the wind, surface conditions etc probably have a great effect on this value.
Is there any method you use which enables you to calculate your remaining fuel and range more exactly?
