If your near land and it restricts you to a low number, you can change that with SH3 Commander. It would be nice for a max time compression key, but sh3 doesnt have one, I have no idea what they are going to do with Sh4 in this regard.
So your problem is already solvable in SH3 I suspect sh4 will be similar, hopefully CTRL and + will be max time compression, CTRL and - for min time compression, similar to the periscope (CTRL and pageup)
SH3 may already have this (CTRL thing) I havent played in awhile.

I have to agree with leaving port and the time spent getting to the patrol area can be a bother at times. In SH you saw your boat leave the dock then the next view you had was your map and you were in your patrol area. Not much fun for those who wish to go through the process of sailing to the area on their own - and have the "real" time to sit and wait. ( However, I recall a few times I had to quit a game in SH due to "real" time factor. Back then you could not save your game where you were - you quit and bam you were back at your base with a "Attention to Orders" and the failing messge. That needs to be changed to what SH2/SH3 had where you save exactly where you are in the patrol.)
Time compression should be able to satisfy everyones wishes on this point. Either set sail, plot your course and hit the + key until you are moving "over time" at the speed you wish or just set sail and plot your course using only ''real time" e.g. no TC. One thing SH3 does not have (if I'm not mistaken - that SH and SH2 had) was an automatic return to 0 time compression by tapping the "back slash" key. If you were in a high TC rate and you received a message that you were in visual sight or radar or sonar contact you could hit the key to 0 your TC and get to the attack without passing by or getting sunk before you knew what was happening.
Bottom line every SH so far had TC I believe this one will also. Just make it user friendly.
