Electric Engine Question

[K-61]

Although it is a simulator, it is not a complete simulator. Corporate bean counters often force a game to market for cash flow reasons, not because the produce is fit for release. There are a number of reality issues with the game, but it is still a fairly decent simulator. One feature missing is the ability to manipulate the port and starboard engines independently, or, as you state, the electric engines while surfaced, something which was often done while maneuvering in port.

There is also a little known bug feature where your batteries will recharge, even if you are out of fuel. I'm not sure if your batteries will recharge if the engines are destroyed, but I would not be surprised if they will. Some members have used this exploit to get home in a pinch, when their diesels have been destroyed.
