A simple idea on modding 'rig for silent running' command

This are the values from GWX

Uboat 21 :
AheadSlow=0.24

Uboat 2A:
AheadSlow=0.30

Uboat 2D :
AheadSlow=0.26

Uboat 7B:
AheadSlow=0.25

Uboat 7C:
AheadSlow=0.26

Uboat 9B:
AheadSlow=0.28

Uboat 9C:
AheadSlow=0.28

Uboat 9D2:
AheadSlow=0.30

I have thought about "silent running" awhile ago and ran some tests.
I used an additional speed dial set to 1 knot only, but the graphics was not a dial but the "run silent" command icon, it worked successfully. I read that racerboy had got the Revolution Dial to work which would be even better. Its better to set rpm to 100, as above this you can be heard and this would set max silent speed for different boat types. I thought of using the original "silent running" for shut down of auxiliary equipment only (not totally silent), useful when you are a bit further away and want to run 2 knots with less noise.
So what is needed is the rev dial set 100 min/max with a command icon graphic and attach it to the Commands_en.cfg and CE commands.

Usually I just click on the speed dial between the 0 and 1 knot marks, the LI says "new speed 0 knots" but actually it's something like 0.5 and the RPM dials in the command room indicate 40/50 RPM.

I have done that in the past. But it is very tedious up/downing speed constantly trying to get to the 100 rpm mark so getting away quickly as possible, makes escape much easier. You hit the command and go to 100 rpm exactly, no fiddling about, leaving you to concentrate on evasion.
