I use TC judiciously, but i have my limits depending on where i am. I really need to given all the long range patrols i tend to do.
If im in any area where i expect heavy patrols, either aircraft or tin cans, i tend to stick around 256 to 512 TC. Which is fast enough to make the game move a bit faster, but slow enough to where i wont have a plan spotted when its right atop of me dropping its bombs.
If the area isnt heavily patrolled, ill go as high as 1024. When in my acutal theater of operations, Most of the time during the day i travelled submerged and just let my sonarman do the hydophone checking, although il check it myself from time to time. If im patroling an area for shipping, ill do the same routine, but travel in a search pattern that goes in diagnals to expecting shipping routes - that way i'll have little chance of a ship sneaking up into my baffels.
If im in transit to my theater of operations, (IE crossing the atlantic) ill kick that TC up to 2048.
