Recommended max TC?

[KNomad]

Having read that high TC (time compression) screws up game mechanics, 'teleporting' ships/planes & weather change checks, what is the recommended max TC I should run?

I've recently adopted 128 as the max, except when cruising to/from a patrol grid.

[Weiss Pinguin]

Yep, I usually stick to 128x myself, unless I'm crossing the Atlantic. If the weather gets stuck I drop down to 32x and go watch TV for a bit :smug:

Hi KNomad :DL I play 256 tc at 50nm map scale.

That way with a tc drop to 32 I have a fair chance with attacking planes and ships.

Do you use SHCommander to set tc values ?

[RoaldLarsen]

I rarely go above 32x when I am surfaced, so the aircraft don't miss me or surprise me too much. I rarely go below 128x when I am submerged until I have a contact, because there are far too many unescorted ships in the game and running fast means I won't find so many ships that shouldn't be there.

[Randomizer]

Max x64 or x16 when snorkelling and always remain at x1 when in acoustic or visual contact with any enemy. After four years with SH3 have yet to experiance a game-save bug, teleporting ships or repeat visits from the ship(s) just sunk but not sure if this is causal or coincidental.

I generaly keep it below 128. The only times I will go above that is if I am moving to intercept and I know I am not likely to cross paths with any other ships; for example when I get a radio contact report on a convoy and have a good vector for intercept. I just don't like to sit and wait some times to close that distance. The only other time I go above that is if I am travling long distances and don't have time to waste waiting to get there. When I do have time in my day I generaly use the transit time to catch up on my reading while the game tools along at 128 TC, this is a fine game for reading you know.

1x .............:p cept the stinkin weather never changes.. 128X is pretty good ...ya dont miss much .weather changes ,and you can get where your going pretty fast dont forget to put-----enemyairdetected-- to zero in main time compression if you go away from your pc from time to time...

[Hitman]

2048x when crossing the atlantic/indian ocean in no-aircover/no-traffic areas

256x when cruising around in aircover/traffic areas

256x always in mediterranean and black sea

You know, I have little time to play, so I must speed up some things...

but oh boy how I wish I had such a button for real life :haha:

[Laufen zum Ziel]

128 most but never above 260.

[RConch]

X128 traveling.
X8 when stalking a convoy with escort\s in sight.
X1 when attacking or being attack.

I sometimes die of random collisions in the middle of the north sea. Is my 8000x TC to blame?
