Unfortunately, things don't work quite the way they would appear they should.
1) RadioReport works when you get a
direct radio message, one that your radio operator reports to you. A general radio message (ex. a convoy report) will
not drop time compression.
2) EnemyDetected and AirEnemyDetected won't automatically drop your time compression. Your watch crew has to first actually spot it. Which is why you'll often have an aircraft make its attack run and bomb or depth charge you while still running at a high TC. Also why a DD or escort will sink you like a stone in bad weather/low visibility: the compression doesn't drop until the action is already over and you've taken damage.
3) Haven't noticed it in the stock game or GW so I don't know if it happens there or not, but in NYGM, the setting for CrewEfficiency is useless. You'll be tooling merrily along to your patrol area at TC1024 only to have your crew manning the diesels get too fatigued to work, and your engines shut down as TC just keeps racing along.
