Fuel and speed

Gezoes · 08-24-07, 08:58 PM

It depends, but I usually (IXB/C) go ahead slow, 1/3 at most cruising or submerged. On long patrols, it is highly recommended. Also, on ahead slow one can survive the daylight submerged, wich is most helpful.

I save my fuel for emergencies and attacks

(As for the ruler, should you by any chance be using GWX, the GWX mod includes some sheets that should help, look for them in the upper left corner at the periscope station)

Economical speeds:

II 5 knots
VII 6-7 Kts
IX 8 kts

Reported speeds:

Slow up to 7 kts
Medim 8-9 kts
Fast 9- 12 kts

Very hast probably over 15 knots
Met only one doing 22 knots

I might be wrong by a knot here and there

yeah, speed is a strange thing, it uses more fuel usage is not directly proportional to speed

1/3 ahead regardless of boat type is usually close enough to the mark
