[. . . ] Hint: Whilst changing depth works even at zero speed by using the ballast tanks and compressed air, it is best done when some speed is available to make use of the dive planes. When ordering depth changes, keep in mind that each submarine has a maximum operational depth, marked in green on the depth meters. Diving beyond that depth is a risky enterprise, but sometimes useful to avoid detection or depth charge attacks. When the red section of the meter is reached however, you are inviting disaster and risk pressure hull failure. Command Room (F2) 1. Deploy Decoys GAME CONTROL PANEL TIME COMPRESSION AND CLOCK You can set the time compression level from 1x to 1024x. Time compression is an absolute necessity when travelling long distances, as it makes time pass faster. Note however that: · You will not be able to set time compression higher than 32x except in the Navigation Map station. · Time acceleration will automatically drop down to lower levels in various situations, such as when you are in close proximity to other ships or land. 7.
