Warrior33 -> RE: Question - Using the diesels on Gato-class subs (9/22/2015 4:26:08 AM)

Ok, I did some experimenting, and I can see that its an automatic function upon reaching a specified depth. In my case, for both the Gato-class and Balao-class the transition occurs between -67 and -68ft (as displayed in the Unit Fuel tab...the primary power will be highlighted in Bold.) So, something is possibly amiss? When either class is on the surface, I cannot set flank speed of 18 kts. This is not good for my scenario as the subs need to be able to sprint ahead to get in place for a proper ambush. Guess I will try some modern diesel subs to see if they behave similarly. Edit: What does altitude band, throttle "band 2" or "band 3" mean when looking at the engine stats? Could it be that the db has this set incorrectly? The SS 527 Sailfish is able to reach flank speed of 18kts when surfaced on diesels. All the preceding USN classes are capped at the battery speeds when surfaced.
