IIRC Sailor Steve undertook some research on sub engines and concluded that the original engine/equipment was closer to what they had in reality :hmm:

Yes. The engines came with the superchargers already installed, and so the un-upgraded max speed in SH3 is what the real life boats could do with the supercharged engines. I never take them, precisely for this reason.

II and VIIa didn't have them. VIIb and all later boats came with them. Max speeds for all boats are shown here: http://www.uboat.net/types/index.html

Interesting posts & links.

Superchargers also seem like a love/hate option with some players. So if by accuracy the VIIB's engines came with Kapselgeblase then why would the game make it an upgrade option unless it's just something to chew renown. :hmm:

Then it should be modded, so that with the addon you have for example 1 knot more speed?

It should be modelled that without the addon you have less speed
