I've been playing 2 or 3 weeks now and I've been gradually increasing the realism, the most recent thing being limited fuel.
Now I want to limit the batteries, air and CO2. Thing is there's nothing in the game manual about them and not much in the community manual. I'm just looking for general tips regarding these - how long each last, things like that. For one thing, if your stationary while submerged are you still draining power? That's just an example. Any tips would be good.

You don't drain any power from the batteries while the E-motors are still. Technically, things like lights and other auxiliary electrical equipment would be but I don't think the game takes those into account and their effect on such huge capacity batteries as there are in a U-Boat would be rather minimal.

Batteries will last 15-16 hrs on slow, the faster you travel the quicker they go down. Compressed air rarely is a factor unless you are blowing ballast often. Co2 levels will rise to unsafe levels about the same time your batteries go down. Once Co2 levels enter the yellow your crew will tire out quickly if you let it go too far into the red.....well it was nice knowing you lol

Remember to snorkel if you find yourself heavy on the CO2 and are in diving mode.

Is that battery life true of all boat types? I'm currently in a VIIb

I just rescently had an experience where C02, batteries and compressed air was starting to become a factor 2 Black swans just wouldn't give up I had to use alot of compressed air offset flooding while we plugged the leeks! I was starting to think i might have to think if this goes on much longer im going to have to surface and take what ever comes. Thankfully they gave up before I was forced to take drastic action

[quote=JonathanI believe that as you buy upgrades for the batteries, then you should be able last longer and longer...and when you are surface going, be sure to set your engines to recharge if you can spare the fuel.[/quote]
Actually battery upgrades deal more with shorter recharge times rather than longer milage which really helps later in the war when planes are interupting your recharging 3-4 times a night |
