I would have to make the asumption that they upped the power significantly as Silent Hunter was only capable of 4,000 meter max range (the ‘killzone’ is only listed as 1500 meters), if they upped the power all of the requirements go up. If they managed to up the power too much, it’s going to cause grid power dips that will thankfully bring down their other systems that depend on it.
ok thanks for confirming that you are pulling numbers out of your ass
