Fuel - how much in a FULL tank (UBoat specific) ?

Using the VIIC as a test bed i had made a fuel consumption graph in Microsoft excel.

however the file had since been deleted.

fuel range is at its best at around 8 to 9 knots for the VIIC but i dont recall the range number for GWX3. (it was around 19,000 KM or more)

if you are on the surface and recharging, this number is cut in half as one engine is disconnected from the prop shaft and used to run at Flank Speed to recharge the batteries.

the range profile was a bell curve, with 8-9 knots yielding the best range.

extreme slow speeds and extreme high speeds gave the worst performance range
