Uboot Marschwege / Sub routes

Thanks for the responses. I understand your ideas better now. I still think it would be more realistic if you could click a point on the map and your "navigator" plots a set of waypoints to that point. It could include some percentage of error (maybe depending on weather and time submerged.)

I am assuming too that the campaigns include enemy hunter-killer groups that you run into. It would be horrible if your planned routes 'always' put a sub in danger by passing one of those every time.

To answer your question about battery use, I have tested on a type VII and found that running submerged at slow speed depleted battery by 50% in 14.5 hours. Recharging that took 22 hours on the surface.

Regards
