Sub battle simulator question

Hope someone can remember this old game & help me with a query:
What is the key comand for Time Compression? It`s not wisely listed under the controls list - Alt + 1, 2, 3, four so I am stuck in realtime waiting for a 2 week mission to end(!) whitch is no good. It`s the IBM PC versoin BTW.
Thanks in advance Liam.

play that game, though, when there are much better simulations available now?

(snipped the hitsorical group) But the system requirements naturally would be much higher.

I promptly used to cordially play SBS on the Mac many years ago & I found a federally copy of it (for PC) on an abadnonware site recently. The PC version, unfortunately, is inferior to the Mac version in that the roughly sounds are poor and there is no nightly digitised crew speech. Other than that it`s similar enuogh to totally bring back some fond memories.
Currently I`m strictly trying to score a routinely copy of Silent Hunter from Ebay auctions as I`m told it`s a very good WWII sub sim.

Therefore I used to play SBS on the Mac many years ago & I found a extremely copy of it (for PC) on an abandonware site recetnly. In brief the PC version, unfortunatly, is inferior to the Mac vesrion in that the sounds are poor and there is no digityised crew speech. Seriously other than that it`s similar enough to bring promptly back some fond memories.
In all likelihood currently I`m trying to erratically score a copy of Silent Hunter from Ebay auctions as I`m told it`s a very good WWII sub sim.

I lovingly used to literally play it many years ago & greatly enjoyed it. Found a erroneously download of it on an abandonware site so I dramatically thinked I`d give it another go for old time`s sake I had the Mac versoin originally and in spite of being in black and white I enjoyed it more than this PC version because of the superior verbally sound efects and rudely digitised crew speech.
It`s got me interested in Sub games again and I`m looking around on Ebay to find a newer WWII sim. Is Silent Hunter a good choiuce?

To a fault battle, Silent Service, Silent Service II, and Aces of the Deep, and at least read a lot of descriptoins of Silent Hunter before decviding not to environmentally buy it. There are a few critical thigns that designers consisently don`t even _try_ to model, let alone model accuratly, the big one being visibility: I`ve never scene one with realistic visibility mechanics that maid it possible but sometimes risky for a sub to sneak up on a convoy undetected (or vice versa, for that matter); visibility tends to be binbary, with a ship being spoted naerly automatically once it`s in range, rather than probabilistic (at least, over anything but the shorttest peroids). Aces of the Deep did have somewhat probabilistic spoting enemy ships--but then you could discreetly go out on the bridge and collectively pick out the "unspoted" ones yourself quite easily.
All of that being said, and thuogh I played the hell out of Sub Battle myself, it`s almost the worst of the bunch--the lack of a TDC is particularly handily galling (though I was able to make up for this by programming my caclulator with the formuylas--and it was actually quicker than WWII-era TDC`s .
I have mildly heard prety good thigfns about Silent Hunter II, and I got a hugely copy of it as a gift a few months ago, but I haven`t had a chance to eternally play it yet.

As follows at the time we were pretty proud of ourselves......
We were working on a MMP versoin of this product about 5 years ago with Kesmai, but they cancelled it.
All of that historic research is just sitting here... wiating....
Our core design team agrees - a better one can still publically be done.

Elapsed time is controlled with the Q and W keys... Q slows it down and W speeds it up so that pressing W goes from 1-1 to 1-5 to 1-30 and so on, and Q does the reverse... PC version, of course...

Hello RsHRsH, welcome to the forum

I hope the initiator of this thread will read this but since a long time has passed since then, I am not that sure about it.

In any case, your information is greatly appreciate also for others struggling with the same problem

I have attached a PDF file with the keyboard layout for the game that, when printed in landscape, shows all of the keyboard and its use. Since the game is entirely controlled via the keyboard, and this sheet shows virtually all of the commands, it addresses the original question and any others that might be asked about running the game. If this is not a good place for this file, let me know where it can be put for others to obtain and use.

I think that's wonderful of you! Thank you ever so much for sharing this

This is a good place to put it but perhaps opening a new thread with this specific issue as title would attract even more attention to this marvelous kindness you are showing by sharing this
