For now, after starting about 4 careers, I have found isolated ships or airplanes, but no convoys or task forces; the few contact reports I got were not possible to intercept and very far away from my operation area.


For example when departing from Pearl Harbor I move usually towards Midway to refuel, and use x2048 or even x4096 speed, all ok in this situation because I don't expect any enemy encounter. But as said, I wonder if using x2048 in other situations later around my patrol area would result in not giving me any contacts as opposed to use a TC of say x256, x512 or x1024. Or does it not matter?


Thanks to clarify for me,

high TC certainly would affect contacts.
if we accelerate time-spent such that 1 sec of real time equals 2048 (or more) seconds of game time we will miss opportunities for intersection.
one of things we (SH4-Kaleuns) have discovered is that using TC over 1024 is perilous...for many reasons...you just mentioned another.
after years of struggling with unexpected CTD's, etc, i have restricted my TC to max of 1024.
i was going to repeat a flippant remark of Doc Brown from Back to the Future but i will stifle myself.
good luck with whatever you decide to do.
