Wind speed effects RPMs while recharging??
Hi all, I've got a doozy this time.
Wind speeds are effecting my recharge rates. I've never once noticed this, and I can't find a single post discussing it. Am I crazy? Has this always been a thing? I noticed it while messing with the Type XXI in Fifi's newest update to NYGM. Thinking it was related to either my incessant tweaks to the XXI, or to h.sie's snorkeling realism settings, I went and tested it in a Type VII, and sure enough, it's a thing there too. At 15 m/s wind speed, the starboard RPMs (the motor doing the recharging) are about 60% that of what they are when the wind is at 8 m/s or lower. Surface attack project v1.19 is installed. Aside from that and my changes to the XXI's data files, this is happening on what's otherwise a brand new install of NYGM 5.8 Like I said, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Whether or not this can be fixed or changed, just knowing others have experienced this would make me feel much better. - Tabris |

Yes bad weather is influencing recharge rate. All subs… and type II is very badly impacted
Personally, I like it.

That behavior has no basis in reality. The batteries were charged by virtue of the energized armatures spinning in a magnetic flux, creating an EMF (voltage) greater than that of the batteries. The armatures were turned by the diesels, and they could be turned at any speed, regardless of weather - two completely independent factors. Particularly if the main clutch on one side were disengaged as was common to do, thus the armatures of that motor being disconnected from the propellers, then that side’s diesel has no limitation on how fast it turns that side, only the diesel’s own governor.
