Diesel consumption too high in type IXB

Oh yeah and by the way, most economical fuel consumption has nothing to do with speed really since this will be different depending on the weather, it's the rpm that matters and appearently in real life the engines of the IXB were optimized at an rpm that would give the boat a surface speed of 10 knt probably in ideal weather, I think that a speed in the game corresponding to an rpm of 250-300 will offer the best fuel economy and thereby the longest range...at least that's my experience.

In real life most engines are optimized for best fuel performance between 70-85% of MCR (max continous rating) never by speed.....
