In years gone by I've owned Aces of the Deep (Great game!) and I believe it was the original Silent Hunter (US sub in the Pacfic). I just bought Silent Hunter 3 from Steam for $9.99. Probably would have been better off buying a disk, but I could download and play right away with Steam.
My question is this. I hit times where the time compression will not go higher than 4. Typically I crash dive after air attack, get to 50 meters, warning sub silhouette will be green, no sounds or explosions, but can't compress above 4. Seems that sometimes if I change depth, i can increase compression, but not always.
If I'm in a combat situation with a destroyer I can still compress up to 16 or 32. What gives??

Any help would be appreciatted!!!
