Speed??

[oldagetron]

Just something ive noticed new to the game

Why does every ship seem to be travelling at 7 knots? speed is always 7 knots.
Its very unimmersive to me and makes me question all aspects of the game.
also im no expert on manual targeting torpedo's but i do try, and in this game it seems way to easy to sink ships

Have i bought the wrong game?

is this game's long term goal to be more challanging and realistic?

There’s one time i found a lone armed merchant travelling at 10 knots, and i don’t play with mods 🤷‍♂️

There’s a variable convoy speed mod if you don’t like the current programmed speed

Also, they’re rolling out the TDC in the next update. But even then, how should ship targetting be designed? I follow Otto Kretschmer’s style of closed ranged attacks at night and it increased torpedo hits significantly. You could always snipe from afar and shoot in salvos like the Kriegsmarine wanted it

thanks for the reply. ill install that mod and check it out. The game is fun but fun only takes me so far. It has to pose a challange and make me think to give it longevity.

Hope this next update increases immersion and some more mechanics. cheers mate.

Most cargo ships in this game have a top speed of like 12 knots or 14 so they're really slow. Cruising speed of 7 knots especially for slow convoys is realistic.
Later war you will find mediums and fasts going around 10-14 knots at random but 7 is pretty standard especially if the convoy has slower merchants.
And the game gets harder the later in war it gets a sub in 39 is gonna have a better time than sub in 44.
