I can speak for the one shaft engines. It does seem you save fuel when using them!

I’ve tested this on many patrols. The percentage of fuel does tend to go down less. How much... unknown but I’ve saved more fuel this way.

Again, I don’t know the specifics but I believe it does save fuel.

I am watching all your videos, they are superb and it was one of those that prompted me to ask on the forum. I also downloaded your "Bible" to read on my nexus when on long patrols. Enjoying it. Still thinking about getting a dedicated clock - maybe a bit too hard core for me

If you swtich or automatically go into battery reloading mode, you should wait for the message 'battery reloading' in the message box, and the battery icon in the engineer dialogue option not blinking before you go higher than TC 64, otherwise batteries will not reload, this is a finesse of TDW modlist - and most likely also TWoS.
