So you think Ahead Slow on the surface 100% of the time (early war I'm assuming) is the best bet? And JScones, you think 9 knots is best?

I don't know if 9kts is "best", I was just impressed with the chart and analysis undertaken some ways back. It convinced me. I travel at 9kts surfaced all the time. Hopefully someone here with a better memory than me will remember the related thread's contents.

by running at ahead slow and submerging at night (its mid1942, best tactic for me right now) i can save the fuel reserve for a couple months in a viic
