[REQ] s boat speed fix

[vice_sinatra]

I have used the search function to try to find a mod to get the s boat to the 14.5kt surfaced, 11 kt submerged speed but couldn't find any. If a modder or someone could point me in the right direction the crew and I would throw a party on the sub. I'm running TMO RSRD PE NSM SCAF.

cheers!

edit the config file with the windows editor, it will loo like this :

simply change the needed values to what you want, otherwise you also have to open the .sim file with s3d and change the values there.

I'm gettin almost 13kt surfaced and just over 9 submerged. Read on wiki that it was supposed to be around 14.5 and 11. I'll get right on searching to the program to mod what you showed me keltos . Thanks everyone!

Think I'd bet on the devs being right over the wiki. That's where the smart money goes.

[vice_sinatra]

I succesfully changed and saved the two numbers in green to 14 an 11 but no performance change. Still trying to do what you describe in the last sentence but s3d doesn't seem to want to open the files, all i get are "photo" and "upc" files.

BTW links with the historic speed of sboats.

my boat had a great mechanical history! (fires, flooding)

I wouldn't. Ever source I've seen says 14.5/11, including Bagnasco's Submarines of World War Two.

And considering the number of complaints there have beenabout other things the devs got wrong...

I have edited the subs .sim but instead of going to my new settings they actually go down somewhat. (I am using Porpoise class but the same should apply. I'm trying for 50 kts instead of the stock 19 surfaced but now the best I can manage is 16 kts.) To explain it a little better.

I'm coming back to subsim after 3 months of being away on top of going to SH4 so I appolgize for any noob-ness I may show.
