I just started another SH4 career. Every couple of months I get the itch.

Was doing great at 100% realism until I had another famous SH4 TC death.

I do wish that TC would cut to 1:1 before the third shell of the destroyer hits me.

I was cruising along at 10 knots. In the middle of the sea. I was at TC 128. My first indicator was the distorted sound effects of gun fire than my game froze so I could not kill the TC. After about 10 seconds I was able to kill TC but found that by that time I had a destroyer about 1000 yards away from me and it had already hit me several times with its deck gun. Not much I could do.

I do wish the TC in SH4 would work better.

Tonight I might start up yet another career. The problem with SH4 is that with the long distances and the need to putz along at 10 knots to save fuel, TC is an important part of the game.

I would like my patrols to last no more than four hours. That gives me the chance to complete one patrol per evening of game playing. That is hard enough with TC that works. If I have to move TC no higher than 1:32, I will be lucky to complete one patrol every three days. And that simply aint fun in my book.
