It's my "green" sub .
We as Ubootfahrer, are historically well know and tasked with executing business of high responsibility and grave and irrecoverable consequences.
This is our part in saveguarding the climate.

Sorta like getting SUV's off the road by blasting them with a 105mm howitzer!

:hmm: 2 questions:
how much renown per kill?
how many rounds per kill?

Does it compare to a ... think.... ....think more.... whaleship?

Do engine & powershaft upgrades like the MAN Buchigeblase affect fuel efficiency? I ask because it seems to be common sense that they would, but I don't know if that's modelled at all in the game. If so, to what degree?

One of the problems with judging that is that in real life there were no engine upgrades, at least not for individual boats. The Type VIIa was the last boat to not have superchargers, and the Type VIIb was the first boat to have them, and the VIIb and succeeding boats were given larger fuel tanks, giving the supercharged boats longer range.

Of course in the game the supercharged boats have higher speed, which should mean shorter range, but in actuality the unsupercharged max speeds shown were the real speeds with superchargers, and the supercharged max speeds are completely unrealistic.

What I'm saying is, the game is completely screwed up where upgrades are concerned, and any speed and range changes resulting from them.
