Of course i'm at 1x when say a destroyer is right above me dropping charges...but once he's 500 plus meters away i'll bump up the TC a notch or two for a few moments, maybe bump it back down to 1x and up periscope for a moment to make sure he's not still heading in my immediate direction, then up to 32x until i'm far enough away to secure from silent running. Quite frankly, it's a bit boring and time consuming to just sit there waiting to see if the escort is still detecting me, and TC will quickly make it obvious whether he still detects me or is just searching my old position and dropping charges on nothing. Plus i do use 1048x while simply sailing or when there's no detectable ships nearby...i want a patrol to be a fun and interesting afternoon or evening, not a slow week of 20-30 hours simming SH3, with moments of excitement here and there.

Agreed!
