Hitman,

Are you using those values with GWX3?

Another thing which I could be wrong about SH3/GWX is that time compression seems to alter sub detection. I am not talking about 1024-4096, but simply running 4X-16X. I often run at 4X-16X in AOD and SHCE when making an attack run. Given the visibility, size, and speed of a convoy, it could take 1-2 hrs of realtime for them to arrive in position. So, I usually speed up time for about 10 minutes (especially with no near escorts), then take a scope sighting and then accelerate again. I drop into real time as I set up the actual shot.

However, with SH3/GWX I got the impression that as soon as I used time compression, the escorts make a bee line to my position. Thus, in order to sucessfully attack in SH3/GWX, it seems one needs to dedicated anywhere from 2-4 hours making the approach in realtime. Now, that is fine for real life submariners, since it wasn't like they had any place else to be anyway. However, my personal time is too precious to be creeping through the water at a pace slower than walking speed for hours.

So, does time low level time compression affect SH3/GWX detection algorithms?

Thanks.
