Walther and other questions....

...my previous mission I intercepted a US BB TF, ran in under the DD screen and sank THREE Pennsylvania class battleships. Nice Haul! Then went deep and sped away under a thermal layer at 24 knots.

The Walther drive does make it fun. Realistic? Dunno.

Yes the Walther is a great addition. There's no cooler feeling where you crash dive to 180m with the Walther at flank, gaining speed as you plunge and outrunning the DDs underwater.

The Walther isn't something you should use all the time though if you're having trouble. You should use it to speed out from under a marauding DD (just a thirty second burst or so) or to make very quick turns underwater.

So far the coolest experience I've had with the Walther was emergency surfacing...180m, flank speed, Walther engage, emergency surface...

My sub shot about forty feet out of the water and then plunged down, another 10 meters under.
