This mod changes the characteristics of Type II and VII submarines:
1) speed of boats in underwater position on electric motors are brought to historical values.
2) battery discharge as a function of speed are brought to historical values.
3) battery charging is brought to historical-realistic values: the slower the speed, the faster the charging.
4) Power consumption of the equipment has been changed according to realistic power consumption values.

I like the idea of slower - more loading :)
I have not played in a long while, and I do not remember the in game times.
So this seems to have longer loading times, and less time running on batteries.

@Ctbb. As I understand, the boat has only one diesel engine realized, so such modification will not be easy

@R6ckStar This mod must work without requiring a new career start

Wow this is long awaited at least by me thank you very mutch sir for making this modification:steamthumbsup:
Btw do you think it is possible to make a mod that uses only one disel at the time?
