Hi FeatsOfStrength I never altered time compression when playing our Steel sharks GWX Campaign when heading to my patrol grid on surface at max time compression and if something came near to me it would drop to x32
wether it was a aircraft a single ship sighting or a escort or convoy.

Is this 1939-1940 time frame early war if so radar isnt in most escorts and the escorts ar'nt that good with green crews as the war progresses its a all new ball game when you run into a large convoy with sixty plus merchants
and 12-20 escorts also hunter killer groups patroling the shipping lanes
areas like the rockall banks where HX SC SL HG convoys converge on their final trudge to liverpool or belfast or Outbound Convoys OA OB OG.
Also when your leaving your channel coast base lorient st nazaire boardeaux
late 1941 onwards my advice would be once outside the harbour of the bases and you have enough depth under your keel 15-18 mtrs get to periscope depth quick because by 1942 them Jabos allied fighter bombers are like flys around a pot of jam in the bay of biscay or bay of dismay
when you get walloped.
