2 Qs about human controlled Kilos (SCU)

I tinkered around with a scenario awhile back, using a Canadian VIctoria class SSK, and scripted the mission so that you would periodically have to surface or "snort" to recharge your batteries.

It's all in how you script your missions. Generally, modern diesel submarines wouldn't have to re-charge very often, especially during an engagement. All I did was make it necessary to surface or reach periscope depth. To complete the goal, you had to click your "Ventilate" switch, and remain at depth for an hour or so, can't quite remember.

The idea is to make it absolutely necessary, IE your mission fails if you don't rechage in time. Unfortunately, I've never come up with a good idea on how to script a mission where your batteries run low faster if you speed up. Perhaps a little more tinkering is neccesary, but I'm sure it's possible. Bill Nichols would be the guy I'd ask first.

Cheers.
