ORIGINAL: Don Bowen quote:
Because Argonaut became a transport sub (APS-1) very early in 1942, I decided to add this refit in order to remove her minelaying capability as was historically the case. So I had Rich Dionne remove the mines and add a capacity value of 60 (I think) to represent the berthing spaces added in lieu of mine gear. This is the first time I've had an opportunity to test the refit in a transport situation and when it loaded, it showed a capacity of 24. Should have been 60. Either I'm not understanding the capacity feature for subs or subs are hardwired for transport capacity and any figure placed in the editor field is nullified. I think the any value specified in "Capacity" for submarines is Aircraft capacity, not cargo. I believe there is some relationship between durabitilty and cargo capacity. I'll experiment a little a be sure... I'm pretty sure you are correct about the relationship now that I think about it. Because durability is related to dive depth , capacity is really bonkers. Large subs like Argonaut, Narwhal, and the large IJN boats, because they have prewar dive depths, are penalized. Poppycock.[8|]
