I impose on myself a strict 'no higher then x128' rule.
The rest of you that do it x1, need to go visit the loony bin.

I do a 32x max but mostly play at 1x. I never knew the Mediterranean Sea was so BIG! I decided to try a Med career. Sailed out from La Rochelle (Ducimus's Flavored Mod) and into Gibralter. That took a few days at low TC. Then went through Gibraltor Straits, that took a while at 1kt at 1x....but I figured home wasn't far past that...Then I plotted my course to Salamis...and realized...I'm not even 1/3rd of the way there yet!
And here I thought I'd start a Med career so I could do 'fast' low TC patrols! Man this game rocks....

Actually the SH3 world is quite a bit smaller than the real one, or so I'm told.

I'm not sure if you're joking or not. I meant that modelled distances between places are less than they are in real life.

Lol, yes I wasnt being serious there, I've heard before that the modelled world in SH3 is smaller than in real life, and I've also read somewhere where a minute in SH3 is slightly shorter than a real minute too...tho I've never tried to verify either of these for myself.
