Does speed setting affect battery charging speed?

Actually you can. In the game files , (the submarines .sim file to be exact), there's a boolean function. "IsDiesalElectric" or something like that.

open this for example C:\Games\SH4-TMO\Data\Submarine\NSS_s18 and then open sim file with Silent Editor. Look in 9. unit submarine and then go to ballast

ok, yes, i have seen that parameter in the dotSIM file.
my thought is that that parm was for something else entirely.
do you think IsDieselElectric has something to do with battery consumption and recharging?

On that, am hazarding a SWAG, that... that there, is likely, the kicker switch for it... is that 1 line there, "IsDieselElectric"... sounds about right.

But... again, that's just a SWAG...

If i remember correctly Ducimus was trying to change battery recharging time, They took forever in S-18 for example.

in the three days of testing that i have performed on battery recharging, that parm did not display any effect on recharging the batteries.

as i indicated in an earlier post, i do not know exactly what effect it has on anything. i suspect that it may have something to do with sound generated by the boat when submerged, but that is only a suspicion.
