I just took the "dive" and started my first patrol using an S boat out of Manilla. I was patrolling not too far outside the bay and using 256 time compression.

I had no contacts in my patrol zone but chased some reports of convoys not too far from my assigned position, again with no contacts.

Once back in my patrol zone I had a report of some ships moving my way. I was on the surface, at night, with time compression of 256. The first indication I had of any contact was the sound of my boat being hit with small arms fire. I took some damage and had some crew injuries but survived and made it back to port.

I read RockinRobins post about the config file and the section on time compression.

I was surprised that the game did not come out of 256 time compression with: 1) surface contacts, and 2) being shot at! Would have thought that this would trigger 1x time or normal time. Also no contacts were indicated on the map, even after going manually to 1x time compression.

Did I do something wrong? Is this normal?
