Time Compression - When/How to use?

[moxeys]

Hey guys,

I'm new to SHIII and running GWX3.

I'm wondering when it's "safe" to use time compression at max, vs. other settings? I've heard that it's not a good idea to max out time compression because it changes the way the game spawns in objects (planes? ships?).

What is the safest maximum time compression value I can use in a given scenario? E.g. traversing the open ocean on the way to a patrol, vs. patrolling in enemy waters etc.

Any insight would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Max

I have my max time compression set to 2048.

It's not advisable to use high time compression in fog, for example.

When shadowing a convoy I typically use TC 64. I think I had to edit a file to make that possible because I seem to recall that TC 32 was the max before.

SH3 Commander allows you to set every TC option to your liking. My max TC when hunting or being hunted is 32. Max overall is 256. Max when near land is 128.

Love the TC option, one of my favorite options, especially using SH3 Commander
