256x and Air Attacks

Safe-Keeper · 11-14-06, 04:29 PM

High time-compression equals no air attacks, sadly. So in areas patrolled by airplanes (such as the Bay of Biscay), keep time compression low.

Yeah, I was busy TC at the highest and noticed no airplanes ruining my day. Stabiz noted that TC does this in some other post. So to make like more interesting for me I TC around at 256. I finally got some Tiger Moths to swoop down and do their thing. This was 1939. I'm sure it will get worse. It makes for some slow moving but I also read in another thread that the watch will see more ships so there is a plus to the low TC.:hmm: What is funny is that some complained that the TC allowed DD or planes to kill you before you have time to react so it is a give and take situation.

Umm that's interesting. I thought if a ship or plane was spotted, TC went to 1.

I guess that instant destruction happens when the watch is asleep and doesn't see it coming?

I've had my TC drop to 1 . . . and have about 20 actions occur simultaneously as it did . . . notably multiple hits from a suddenly-appearing destroyer, along with (when truly unlucky) being rammed.

Ive had this problem using twg at 256. Ran into a convoy with out getting ship spotted notice. The only notice I got was that I was taking fire and damage.

Bernard on the bridge.....

Could be that your crew was exhausted. Did they get enough rest?

I get the impression that Wijbrandus means (correct me if I'm wrong) that when TC is high game drops back to 1x, the crew says aircraft spotted, but you have already taken a lot of damage!

If so there is a Mod by Der Teddy Bar that fixes this, mine drops back to 1x now & often have time to dive without being spotted (If I'm quick - crash dive).
