Time adjustment wont go above 10x after some time in to mission

[Rhyno]

Anyone else having problems with speeding up time?

Most of the missions i've played, wont let me go above 10x, or if they do it is only temporary and will automatically drop back down to 3x.

Sometimes the distance you have to travel is pretty far and definitely would be nice to speed up some stages...

I'm pretty sure it's purpose built to signal there's a threat or objective near by.

I thought the same till I realized torps or vampures were almost always inbound.

if its 10x max it indicates there are enemy missiles / torpedoes in the air / sea

Yep. Sometimes time drop to 10x even with no reason and no enemies on map. Some performance bug.
But as mentioned above there is a major reasons for time drop: weapon cruising on the map. Its can be long range torpedo that you're never gonna spot and its cruising 30 mile range.
Also time dropped near enemies. Dead enemies also counts.

Ok, thanks for the replies, it does make sense when there is an imminent threat, but does seem a little buggy at the moment.

slightly change your course or split a formation going 3 ways, you'll find something

Don't use helicopters or return them to base.

In Cold Waters, if you increase time to the max, game will auto drop back to 1 when a threat is detected. I'm sure this function will be available next year.
