S-Boat battery recharge rate

[aanker]

We're almost out of luck. Searching the forum the past few days and trying to make a 'nice' RFB install to work from, I became sidetracked... lol

What did you guys do about the NARWHAL? I wanted to include the 'donation' NARWHAL .....

It is almost sacrilegious to touch the/any RFB files because they worked so hard to keep it real. Apparently what I thought of as an agile boat because of its small size, the S-class did not have a fast turning time.

This is typical of what I found - to further discourage me:

If you want to use the Sclass, you must exploit its strong points and not the weak ones ... try to engage in operations in coastal waters, where its smaller bulk operates to your advantage vs. enemy ASDIC, and make maximum use of the good underwater speed. Your best bet to escape the enemy ASDIC is not by outmaneuvering him, but by sprinting away from where it will search in the next turn after dropping.

I guess the RFB crew are busy doing other things now.......

What you report is something related to RSRD, as the campaign should assign you the special missions. But that will depend on boat/date/command you are operating for.

The boats that get most special missions are the Narwhal/Nautilus class, because they were actually so fat, slow and outdated, that they were soon relegated to those tasks. Get one of those in late 1942 or 1943, and you will almost only do special missions.

The recharge times could be hopeless too. We shall see. What a shame about NARWHAL not patching nicely into RFB though.

Happy Hunting!
