The variable at offset 272 is definitely the diesel fuel consumption rate.
It's however, set for an extremely large value; it's the daily fuel consumption in gallons if your engine(s) are running full tilt.
I think I've also figured out what these are:
Surfaced Motor Coefficient Astern Modifier?
Surfaced Motor Coefficient STOPPED
Surfaced Motor Coefficient 1/3 Ahead
Surfaced Motor Coefficient 2/3 Ahead
Surfaced Motor Coefficient Standard Ahead
Surfaced Motor Coefficient Full Ahead
Surfaced Motor Coefficient Flank Ahead
They're how much of your main propulsion plant is used to reach that speed (and also how many lights come on in the main propulsion control panel for that).
If your submarine has 2 electric motors; then if you have 200 for a submerged flank coefficient; you need to have both electric motors online to reach flank submerged speed.
I noticed this because now that I've got all the coefficients pulled out with my early editor and plotted in Excel for all eight subs; plus all the other variables; I can now discern data patterns.
Case in point:
Narwhal. 1 diesel and 2 electric motors; and her coefficient curves break down as:
Surfaced Astern Modifier 150
Surfaced Stopped Coefficient 0
Surfaced 1/3ds Ahead Coefficient 10
Surfaced 2/3ds Ahead Coefficient 33
Surfaced Standard Ahead Coefficient 50
Surfaced Full Ahead Coefficient 75
Surfaced Flank Ahead Coefficient 100
Submerged Astern Modifier 5
Submerged Stopped Coefficient 0
Submerged 1/3ds Ahead Coefficient 20
Submerged 2/3ds Ahead Coefficient 66
Submerged Standard Ahead Coefficient 100
Submerged Full Ahead Coefficient 150
Submerged Flank Ahead Coefficient 200
While the Gato/Balao/Tench classes all have 4 diesels and 4 electric motors; and have the following coefficients:
Surfaced Astern Modifier 100
Surfaced Stopped Coefficient 0
Surfaced 1/3ds Ahead Coefficient 40
Surfaced 2/3ds Ahead Coefficient 93
Surfaced Standard Ahead Coefficient 186
Surfaced Full Ahead Coefficient 320
Surfaced Flank Ahead Coefficient 400
Submerged Astern Modifier 10
Submerged Stopped Coefficient 0
Submerged 1/3ds Ahead Coefficient 50
Submerged 2/3ds Ahead Coefficient 120
Submerged Standard Ahead Coefficient 190
Submerged Full Ahead Coefficient 270
Submerged Flank Ahead Coefficient 400
