Fuel consumption question

Yeah, I have been doing a hodgepodge of what ya'll been doing & with the same results.
I wish the compass was just a tad bigger and a scosh more accurate though...lol..

I did a patrol in the type IID boat from Kiel to Norvik and back. It took me 23 days. I would stealthly slink along at 2-3 knots submerged for 30km & then resurface and apply 1/3 at cruise to recharge. It must have worked because I still had fuel left when I returned to Kiel...

On glassy water at a setting of standard I did about 10 max range requests (one right after the other) of the Navigator. I recieved 10 completely different answers...all the way from 12000km to 4500km so I don't put much trust in what the computer is spitting out.
After all...It is just a $50 dollar (when new) game on a cd that some very sharp people put together.

I guess we just have to figure out the work arounds for some things.. When You think about it, it is really not much of a big deal when you consider the all around immensity of this game...
No $50 dollar game is going to be perfect...just fun...
