Time accel reset when under fire?

[AACherokee]

Hi,

after installing 1.4 i started a new career and enjoyed sailing the pacific waters (thanks for the great ROW-Enhancements, btw).

I was lucky and found a large carrier-task force (4 carriers, 1BB and a lot of cruisers) off the solomons. And lucky I got one flattop and damaged anotherone (funny: 3 hits on Akagi did nothing recognizable to her, but 1 hit on Shokaku and it was gone ;-)).

With nearly all torps spent I turned round and evaded the escorts until i was far away to resurface. Then I got a bit overestimating and decided to make a second run to use my remaining 2 torps on the scratched Akagi.

So I turned round again and tried to get it running flank. Well, what can I say - I was a bit uncareful and increased timecompression to 32x... the problem was : It was sunrise... and soon the escorts spotted me and started firing. But i recognized that after having been hit for about 5 or 6 times...

well, yes I got sunk... damn... my first flattop in carreer-mode and i have no savegame :-)

But the question is : Why does'nt timecompression reset to normal when under attack? Or is there a mod for that?

Regards, Heiko

im sure it goes back
or atleast in 1.3 it did

mmh... perhaps it did... but definitely not after the first shell was fired in my direction - my ship was really wrecked when timecompression was back to normal (but in panic I hit the keyboard wildly...i cannot for sure say if i reset it or the sim itself ;-))

for me it always reset to 1x when under fire and 8x when spotting something...and I am running 1.4

Strange that it didnt for you...its a falesafe so what happened to you wont happen...

Hi,

I have experienced the same problems since patch 1.4:

im findin TC doesnt work to well above 1500x. i tend to start careers early war before radar and whenever i go above 1500x ships will be spotted but by the time its snaps back to real time the contact is well gone

not really a big issue though as when im in enemy waters 1500x is fast enough. its a massive improvement over SH3 where anything above 256x would cause similar problems

I'm having the time compression bug as well - playing a sugar boat from the early war around the philipines, it simply doesn't reset to 1 or x8 when a ship is sighted. I blast past them at 1024 or 4096 and it's almost impossible to find any ships at all this way. I have to sit with the finger on the 'reset to x1' key and not run too high time compression to have any chance at actually checking out my contacts. I guess I better switch to a radar sub.
