S-Boat Incorrectly Modeled

Very true. However, the researched values as per my table are corroborated from several reasonably reliable sources (naval history sites, US navy history sites, original documents, etc.). They are also in agreement with reported distances, speeds and travel times from war reports. I believe these values to be accurate.

My main concern are now the following:

• How does the game model recharging
• How is rpm related to the other values or is it just cosmetic for accurate propeller speeds
• How is engine power related to the other values
• Are there any other files that govern ranges, speeds and consumption of fuel or battery capacity respectively

If I change my min mod, do I need to start a new game or will a save game iaccept the changed values of NSS_18.sim?

I put the researched values into the .sim file and I will now test these, to see if the boat behaves realistically.

.

I think it will accept the new value.
But best is start new career, we never know a future issue...

I think it accepts the changed values.

I traveled submerged at 2 kts for 12.5 hrs and the Battery went from 51 to 46. That's much less battery capacity drainage than stock/FOTRSU/Webster. However, I would have expected it to go down further. At 2.5 kts the endurance of a full battery is said to have been 36 hrs in reality. I would have expected it to go down to about 20, rather than just 46. So it seems that there is a behind-the-scene conversion going on.
