Gotta agree that too much time compression can ruin the game.
But look at is as an opportunity, I mean you can have exactly as much activity as you want. Go with your mood, atleast that's what i do. Accept that running Hydrophone checks with just an inexperienced PO you will miss some. Or don't and grab the headphones and listen yourself.
It's a good point you raise, it really is. But this game is funny, it's not really just the actionthat creates the drama, but also the periods of inaction. The silence in between the notes muscians say I guess.
On a more practical note, I will say I tend to use 64 or at most 128 TC when patrolling or in what I call an active area. So if those sneakly aeroplanes are about or what not. I do wish I could spend more time inside the sub, rather than at the navigation map-TC in the command room is not fun IMO.
So in short , good question! I hope you can answer it.
And I realizxed tonight I could watch a couple hours of crud TV or I could stooge around in my Type II off the coast of England...and my time off England was quite a bit more dramatic than the boob tube even though I've not sunk a thing yet.
All the best to ya MarkQuinn,
and watch our for seagull droppings those things are darned hard to wash out!!
