I have to draw the shortest course possible, go at slow speed, and avoid going fast to chase contacts.
What do the rest of you IX commanders do??

Set your speed to 9-10 knots.

Also 9-10 knots with MAN.


The optimal speed varies with different types of engine upgrades. Just try different speeds and ask your Nav officer max range at current speed for finding the maximum range.
