STRAND:

The type 7 had a lot of capabilities. It was up to the Machinist that ran the diesels to maintain and keep those engines running smooth. At the end of the war, as more experienced men were lost, younger, less experience machinists were called for duty, and probably could not cut the diesels to lean out and run smooth. Also, running top speed increases the risk of engine damage.

Just to add to the answer to
STRANDS question. NYGM makers focused on the realism not so much the eye candy. Which I think is why the type 7 at the outbreak of the war does not hit 17 knots. I believe there are 3 engine upgrades in the game. Understand that getting those upgrades takes a lot of ingame time. Once I got an upgrade and it took three months.
