Default Depthcharge attacks and time compression.

Do they mix? Depthcharge attacks can last hours and I am not waiting in real-time for them to stop. When I use time compression all warnings and sounds go out the window.
Either it stops or all of a sudden were damaged and things go down the poop-shoot.

How do you all deal with time compression during an attack?

Thanks!

I do not use time compression if I am under attack. If I think I am relative save and have a good deep and curse, I let it go and do something else in real life, like watch TV or read a book. I just have a look every 15 minutes on the sub and change the curse or so.

It’s a risk, but you can play to 8x if I remember correctly… and it shouldn’t be a problem.

But in all honesty… if you do not have the time to play, this game may not be suitable for you. It’s not built for speed gaming.

Sorry i don't agree on that.

I use a lot of time compression in the game....waiting for convoys...attacking convoys even getting attacked by escorts

Same here. Put silent running, 55 RPM, and go to see Das Boot (the miniseries version)...Change course every 15/20 mins, check depth...

Good luck!

One of the best ways I have learned to avoid most DC attacks, is after completing torpedo attacks, I go to flank speed and dive to 150 meters. As soon as I hit the 140 m mark, I'll go to silent running (F8) key. Then if the DD's are far enough away I start zig-zagging in 15 minute intervals. And once the DD's are 2400 m away, then I may use TC up to 2 or 4x. Hey, it works for me.
