Lowering the maximum TC for game play in FOTRS Ultimate is to keep this heavily modeled modified game from causing issues with the lag time it takes to return to zero TC from the time a detected threat occurs. It's simply an attempt to keep you from ending up in the middle of a slowly rendered/highly modeled convoy due to the lag time it takes for the TC to drop to zero.

I don't know of anyone that hasn't encountered the slow/sluggish response of just trying to change the Time Compression speed once it gets above a certain point. That lack of response is the "Lag Time" I'm talking about. Keeping your TC at a lower level will improve game play and help in keeping unwanted issues like running aground or ending up in the middle of a warship task force.
