Of course, I'm sure someone out there plays exclusively at 1x time. IMHO, if you want the game in real time you should just play "War in the Pacific."

I know there were a lot of diehard fans who played SH3 at x1. I don't see how that would be possible in SH4. From Pearl, that's an almost three week journey through an oceanic desert. If you see one sampan along the way it's a major event.

WITP=great game. I just wish the AI was up to the task.

I'd kill for a key that instantly took me to a specific time compression, say 1500x or 2000x - which is the common compression I use while patrolling. Is there a way to modify Time_compr_normal in such a way?

I'm sick of jamming on the '+' key all the time.

You guys use programmable joysticks ??? I have a complete CH setup for Flight Sim - makes it simple... I have one button to advance the "TC" button x 4 times with a single key press... Get's you to 2048 pretty quickly... If you wanted - you could submit any number of key strokes to get you to 2048 with a single press... Then another to return to (x 1) normal time - hits "pause" then advance "TC" x 1... Works really well and coudn't live without it...

Not sure if this has been mentioned in this long thread - but - press <Ctrl> when raising or lowering the scopes ,<Page Up> <Page Down> and the scopes fully raise or fully lower...

I was one (in SH3) ... and, yes, it takes a long time to get from Pearl to Japan (in SH4) when playing in real time. That's where the radio and phonograph come in handy.

It's also why I gotta keep close watch on mods ... so as to time arrival back in port with release dates of those I've been waiting to download and install.

WITP=great game.

From what I've read, it's turn-based. An RPG. Interesting for awhile ... but I prefer simulations. RPGs are more of an intellectual exercise from a god's eye point of view. Sims are more "up close and personal."
