[clayp]

I have seen posts where the writer has stated that he was useing a set TC,IE X32,X50 etc. How do you do this?

Are you talking about TC as in time compression ?

Your kidding right ? :hmm:

Its the + key on your numpad.

I know that... Do they just press it 32 times etc..?

[d@rk51d3]

It increases in increments: 1,2,4,8,16,32.......

Ok I'm sorry I asked..

Nah, don't worry about it. Press the '+' key a few times and you'll get to 1024x speed, which is usually about all you need.

I think what he wanted to ask is how do you keep it that way, so it doesn't drop back to 1 when you spot a sampan 50km away.

You might get away with ramming a sampan at hight TC, but it really sucks to be dropped in the middle of a taskforce. If TC doesn't cut out when visual or sonar contact is made, your patrol is going to be one frustrating (even boring) ride.

Unless I'm missing something here....... which is highly likely.

I remember at least once I felt confident that I had givent the escorts the slip. Out of torpedoes and low on batt I decided to just slip away.

Full of confidence I set my course and knocked the TC up to 128 about 10 seconds later I was destroyed sinking out of control. I guess I hadent given them the slip after all

Not to mention those pesky air patrols.

You will not drop from TC when you spot a friendly ship, the WO will announce ship spotted but TC will continue. I assume you weren't dealing with an enemy because otherwise you'd drop back to 1.
