The other day I was submerged at silent speed and was being hunted by a Black Swan class sloop. He was around 1,250 metres away when I decided to speed things up a little because he was dropping depth charges way off target. I increased to 64X TC. Doing this did not make the Black Swan aware of my true position and I escaped without incident. So I'm not sure that TC makes much difference, if any.
