Is it too much to expect TC to reset BEFORE I run aground

Gotta love the US Navy submersible bulldozer!

I've learned a long time back to zoom in on the map when doing waypoints. It can be a pain to do waypoints from a zoomed in view, but after beaching myself a number of times before it is actually less of a headache.

I have often wished the devs could have added a simple line color change if your waypoint would take you over land. Command: Aces of the Deep did that all those moons ago.

That's a very good idea!

So did Silent Hunter 1. Come to think of it, SH1 wouldn't even let you make waypoints if they went over land

Happy Hunting!

Yeah. Seems like a lot of smart, intuitive design has been replaced by pretty eye candy over the years.

Any dive (D, C) should instantly set the TC to 1x. Why would ANYONE want to crash dive at 512x? Why should the program allow it?

I have died several times due to this quirk...

All I can say is save early and save often

If you're gonna make waypoints with the map waaaay out there, then you're most likely to eat sand.

Makes common sense, pull up the map and see the beach.
