I can never make a long story short. In SH3 you get a Type VIIB that makes almost 18 knots without superchargers. If you 'buy' the superchargers you now make over 20 knots.

The reality? The Type VIIA came without superchargers, and made 17 knots. There were no upgrades, because there were only a few of them. The Type VIIB and every model after came with superchargers already installed, so there's nothing to upgrade to. The VIIB made 17.9 knots with them. The heavier VIIC made 17.6 knots. That is what they make in the game, without 'upgrades'.

If you really want to have some fun, try SH5. It has a Chief Engineer with the magical ability to make the boat go 25 knots.
