You can change your time compression settings by doing the following:
Go to the SH4 folder in My Documents and find data/cfg/main.cfg and open with Notepad or a similar text editor. In the list of time compression settings near the top you'll see EnemyDetected=8, so change the value to 1. This same file also exists in your main SH4 installation directory with the same path. It's probably not essential but I always like to edit both. Now you'll get time compression dropping to 1 every time an enemy surface unit is spotted. Aircraft are already set to 1 by default.
As for the crew not giving a bearing straight away, yeah that's a bit frustrating, but as soon as time compression drops and you get the impression that the crew has spotted something just click on the nearest visual contact icon in the watch menu.
