type VIIC boat 11 knots underwater?

kiwi_2005 · 10-31-06, 05:58 PM

Maybe its sh3 commander enabling this? with sh3 commander, at times my surface speed will decrease, hit flank in a upgraded IXD yet shes only doing 5knots this is suppose to happen, or my periscope is blurry usually when i have a destroyer charging towards me. Im sure Jonesy made these events to happen just when the crap hits the fan

But yeah maybe something is mess up and SH3 Cdr has now enabled your boat to run at 11knots submerged?

Personally why complain?:hmm:

could it be the sabotage mod in cmndr making this happen.
My VIIC was able to do this once when doing flank ahead and blowing ballast I thought I gained the few knots for popping up to the surface with high velocity...

But wouldn't sabotage reduce speed? Not unless the point of it is the boat to burn more fuel then what the captian thinks and he runs out of gas in the middle of Scapa or worse the Channel.:hmm:

Nah, the guys in the engine room just used good ole Yankee Whiskey to thin the mix and a gain a few extra revs out of the engines.

A stock Sh3 bug/quirk/feature, Engine upgrades enable the Sub to go faster, all fine. However when you take that engine upgrade plus a snorkel and run both diesel engine with the snorkel up, you go fast, a lot faster than you should. Another bug/quirk/feature, with or with out snorkel, run your sub at say 7-8m submerged, guess what, your sub goes faster than surfaced or fully submerged. I have also noticed that as you use torpedo's up, your sub can go slightly faster.
