i wanted to run some numbers by you to see what is the most realistic ship slowing times in your opinion
i tested the battleship kongo from a 20 kt speed doing evasive manuvers and at a 15 kt speed and it will stop by just turning off its engines and drifting for the stoping test these are the numbers i got for three different settings i tried: stopping test one: from 15 kts - 11 kts = 2 minutes from 15 kts - 10 kts = 3 minutes 15 seconds from 15 kts - 9 kts = 6 minutes from 15kts - 8 kts = 10 minutes 10 seconds from 15 kts - 7 kts = 15 minutes from 15 kts - 6 kts = 20 minutes 30 seconds from 15 kts - 5 kts = 26 minutes 45 seconds evasive manuvers test: it slows from 20 kts to 10-12 kts when turning ======================================= stopping test two: from 15 kts - 11 kts = 4 minutes 30 seconds from 15 kts - 10 kts = 7 minutes from 15 kts - 9 kts = 10 minutes from 15 kts - 8 kts = 13 minutes 45 seconds from 15 kts - 7 kts = 18 minutes 20 seconds from 15 kts - 6 kts = 24 minutes 15 seconds from 15 kts - 5 kts = 32 minutes it slows from 20 kts to 12-14 kts when turning ======================================= stopping test three: from 15 kts - 11 kts = 4 minutes 30 seconds from 15 kts - 10 kts = 7 minutes from 15 kts - 9 kts = 10 minutes from 15 kts - 8 kts = 13 minutes 45 seconds from 15 kts - 7 kts = 18 minutes 20 seconds from 15 kts - 6 kts = 24 minutes 15 seconds from 15 kts - 5 kts = 32 minutes it slows from 20 kts to 14-15 kts when turning ======================================= acceleration test for all three versions above: from 1 kts - 5 kts = 15 seconds from 1 kts - 10 kts = 1 minute 5 seconds from 1 kts - 15 kts = 2 minutes 50 seconds from 1 kts - 17 kts = 4minutes from 1 kts - 20 kts = 6 minutes 15 seconds in your opinion, which is the most realistic slowing speed in evasive manuvers and in your opinion, which is the most realistic slowing down speed from turning off engines?
