Default MAN Buchigeblase

Hi all.

Has GWX 1.03 reduced the maximun speed you can reach with MAN Buchigeblase? Al far as I can remember, in SHIII you could reach 20 knots at ahead flank with this device installed. In GWX I can hardly get 19 knots with good wheater. At first I thought that this was a sabotage problem (my base is La Rochelle and I use SHIII commander with the sabotage option activated), but in the second mission I can´t get more than 19 knots again.

Thank you all.

You shouldnt be able to reach 20 kts in any uboat
Even 19 is a bit high unless its a IXD

It´s good to know that it was no sabotage!

Unless I'm mistaken, the only time in real life that a Type XXI reached 21 knots submerged was straight down, during Operation Deadlight....
