My annoying bridge crew

You mentioned TC=0 when spotting ship or plane, that could be the problem. I haven't used SH3 Commander! I use GWX 3.0 gold + a Soup of Mods! I use TC=1024 long distances, TC=500 shadowing a convoy, TC=128 out of firing range & shadowing, TC=32 enemy spotted maintaining stealth but still out of firing range, TC=1 I don't want surprises all while maintaining stealth and the element of surprise on the enemy. Near shore or land masses TC=16 or 8. I like this setup.

[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=32
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=1
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=2
CharacterAnim=4
EnemyDetected=32
RadioReport=1

PrayState=32
HunterState=32
3DRender=32
Maximum=1024

0TC when detecting a ship or plane should not do it... I have 0TC on right now for that.

But it is a pain, because you get dropped to 0 every time your crew detects a ship... this is especially annoying on the edge of your hydrophone detection range for an incoming convoy.

So I am setting it back to 1 when I get back to port.

I wish there would be an option to always and immediately crash-dive when a plane is spotted - that's what the watch officer would do in RL, wouldn't he?
I tend to do other stuff while cruising on TC, like cleaning up the house, so I really need the drop to 0 for that! But yes, it is a pain when leaving the harbor or shadowing a convoy at the edge of visibility.

Odd, I go up to 1,000 often enough and I always detect enemies soon enough to "get below" as it were.

Except the SHIII 1WOs forget to ping for depth before crash diving.
