I don't know what game files you would need to modify for that, but if you are using SH3 Commander you can use it to reset the max TC allowed in various situations - IIRC that includes when hunting or being hunted. I wouldn't advise doing it in mid-patrol, though, and at any rate even if you could you'd have to save and exit the game and make the adjustment and then reload your save. If you saved while submerged AND with other ships around you'd be risking a corrupt save.

And in general I wouldn't advise going into a higher TC in that situation anyway, remember that in TC you (and your boat and crew) are still limited by your human reaction time, whereas the enemy AI is not. I've had situations where I thought I'd finally outwitted the enemy and upped the TC so I could creep away from the scene that much faster, only to have them zero in on me again and drop wabos right on top of me and by the time I was able to react it was already too late to evade them.
