SH3 is a bit dumb about time compression. If set to 1024x the crew take the opportunity of dozing off for about five minutes at a time because they know the Kaleun is not paying attention.
With excellent or moderate visibility I can get away with 256x and still get under in good time except sometimes for some fast fighter aircraft. As the weather gets worse I can get away with less, but the aircraft appear less often. The real killer is fog/rain, as surface escorts with radar can appear at short range out of nowhere and kill me before I have a chance to do anything. When the visibility is "zero" I spend as much time as possible submerged.
