Depends upon where you are. Close to land, you're limited to 4x. Other times on external, you'll be limited to 32x. Someone else will have more / better details on the other limitations. The max is 8192x, which while "convenient" at times, really stresses the game engine. I've had it not come out of 32x very politely before, and seen the explosion on my deck from a shore battery shell just as the game was getting it to 1x. "We're under attack!" no kidding... not cool. But such is life with time compression. Use as little as you can stand... 'Course, my butt gets sore sitting too long...
