Time compression question

[jangles]

Hi,

I was advised when playing SH3 not to use Time compression above 128 because It may cause me to miss out on contacts and aircraft .

I was just wondering if this applies to SH4 also? , am I going to miss out on anything using it? , as ive noticed it goes right up to X8000 !

thanks

I usually don't go over 256 in TC, but have gone up to 1024. But if you want, you can have the stop watch up in the corner of the screen. Watch for it to start to get jittery and drop out of TC and go to the sonar, and check for shipping.

And it doesn't seem to bother the planes. They are just as irritating as ever!

Full TC is handy for that long journey across the wide Pacific. Once in your patrol area I'd be careful, just in case.

The amount of TC you should use seems to depend on how fast your system is. If its slow, stick below 1024 when patroling. If its fast, I find its safe to go up to 2048 on patrol.
