Virginia uses propulsion similar like Seawolf (35kts)

The propeller that works silently differs from the propeller that allows you to get a high speed

Its truth but not at all. Other SSN's with pump-jet can reach 30 or more kts:
- Suffren and Trafalgar can reach 30kts
- Shang mod 33kts
- even Alrosa (in real life not well done project) in DW have greater seed (22kts) than Kilo or LADA
For me Virginia should have minimum 30 kts but not more than Seawolf (closer to 30 than 35).
Fact that USN officially says all US SSN's have official speed 25+ kts in case of Virginia is good feed for russian propaganda about lower speed of Virginia
In other hand Virginia was NOT designed as typical Hunter-killer from end of Cold War - very high speed hadn't highest priority.
I don't know (and i don't care*) what is real speed of Viginia but im sure shouldn't be lower than 30 for game purposes.

- I don't like Virginia SSN (and other ultra modern subs) because in my opinion DW is too old for good simulation of Today/Future submarine/antisubmarine warfare aspects - but its my personal opinion
