Wasn't the game supposed to slow down when getting near land? SH3 did that.... it doesn't seem to work on SH4

Actually it does. On one patrol the star icon denoting the objective was, unbeknownst to me, covering a small island. Oblivious, I set a waypoint that went across the island.
Later on as I approached the island TC dropped to 8x. I was curious why - no contacts, aerial or surface, were reported by the crew. So I repeatedly hit the '+' key but the game would drop me down to 8x. So picture me repeatedly hitting the Numpad + key until I decided to take a view from the bridge. That was when I saw the island. Full emergency back didn't stop me from going up the beach.

Excact same thing happende to me

Heres a good way to slow down TC fast: Hit Backspace! It will pause the game.
This will bypass to process going through the different TC levels.
