Use of TC

[Drewcifer]

How do you use TC? I've found myself now only using it for the major journey To and from base and to my patrol zone. As of late I no longer use TC once contact has been made.. it does get lengthy.. and sucks my day.

However it seems when I use TC to spur along the events of the hunt a destroyer or some such gets dropped into my lap... nearly everytime due to very lazy lookouts I'm guessing. Of course there is no right or wrong way to play the game I was just curious how others used the TC in game.

I use TC for transit and low TC for patroling. Will also use it if I'm expecting something like a convoy to be at xy on the map and then set to x1 and observe.

I like to use real time for sailing out of, and into port. I dont like using TC with ships near (within visual range).

x1 for attacking.
x1 while im being hunted and depth charged.
x32 when I'm hunting/tracking, with x1 every 20 mins (game time) for hydrophone sweep.
x32 while patroling my area, with x1 every 1 - 2 hours (game time) to dive for hydrophone sweep.
x256 for long transit.

Have my TC settings set to :-
