Does it ever STOP raining?

TC= Time Compression.

Oh, i go as far a 4096. Why, does that make a difference?

Based on the experiences of others as reported here, IIRC using high TC can make the game's weather get stuck or change less frequently relative to date/time in-game. It may be that the in-game weather is linked more to actual playing time elapsed than how much time is passing on your virtual uboat while you're running at a high TC. Just a guess, but for whatever reason there does seem to be a correlation for some people to high TC and lack of variety in the weather.

Both of you nailed it.

The vicious irony here is that it almost seems like a no-brainer, after days and days of rain, to crank up the TC and try to outrun the bad weather more quickly... and all you get is more days and days of rain.

Based on what I've read here I am really hesitant to go above 128 in any area where I'm expecting (or hoping) to have enemy contacts anyway. I will still crank it all the way up (which for me is 1024) if I'm on the way out to or back in from a patrol, and in relatively friendly waters... altho even that's risky and I only do it in short spurts.
