Tis a question of balance really
High TC will get you across the Atlantic quick but there are plenty of ships\convoys mid atlantic travelling from the US to UK
At high TC you will miss those
But then no one wants to spend a week RL traversing the " pond "

I've often wondered that Mr BBW,since t/c isn't a cheat,it just enables you to fit in some reasonable game time into whatever time you have to play,I've always thought it a bit unfair that you should miss things like ships and stuff at high t/c levels,not everybody has that much time on there hands

or is this some technical thing when the game is flashing along at high t/c:hmm: just wondered like.

64x to 128x on patrol grid or when I'm snooping along a convoy route. 512x to cross "empty" stretches of ocean to get to my destination. 512x max underwater with three separate (morning, noon, evening before I surface) 1x sonar checks during the day.

I only use 2048x if I'm just goofing around and not really "simming".

How does TC affect the number of reported contacts?
I mean in comparison to another TC level.

If you're using 64x instead of 128x, will you get a doubled number of possible contacts?
