What do you think is a safe TC for the long haul back to base or the trip outward? Joe S

I run about 3000-3400 while patrolling. I've never had a problem with the PC not slowing down, TC drops to 8 and get radar contact or plane spotted with plenty time to dive. I've timed it and TC cost me about 30 seconds game time, but that can be important without radar.

Using TMO and have been hit by bombs as far down as 200ft, so I always crash dive when I deal with planes. Usually play with contacts off, so don't have a clue how far they may be.
Usually at 5 miles and closer they can spot you..

The danger is early war where you may get sighted close. TC can cost you needed seconds without radar.

Many times people get killed using TC when radar is damaged or ruined, something to remember.

Can't remember stock
