S Class not recharging batteries

Thanks for the update Jace! I'm going to try to track down the problem too although you're more experienced with this program than I am. If I discover anything I'll let you know right away.

Cheers!

The problem appears to be in all boats. Someone complained in patch 2 that the batteries were unrealistice. I think the Devs went too far in the other direction. I have also tried the solutions mentioned above, but to little avail. Example: Battery down to 50% off Honshu - halfway between Midway and Pearl on return vovage running at flank speed battery finally recharges. Am I to believe that to be realistic? Help needed Please.

It seems to me that running at flank speed is not going to charge the batteries any time soon. With 4 diesels aboard running flank speed, all diesels will be used for propulsion rather than recharging. Normally, the less diesel engines you need for propulsion, the more diesels are available for recharging, hence at slow speed, recharging should be quicker.

Having said that, I think Bear is right. All the boats seem to have this in more or less state, the S class being the worst.
To Jace, the change of Horse power is not going to speed up the recharge proces. I'm not a wizzard, or expert, I tried to set it very high, no change.
Therefore, HP is not the solution. I did not figure out what is, still an ongoing process.
