Well, apparently the RN DOES have bigger ships...attacked a convoy today and lo and behold there was a Fiji-class CL in the middle!

...along with an S-class submarine that was also apparently part of the convoy for some strange reason.

Anyone care to guess why GWX puts subs as convoy vessels? To my knowledge this wasn't done IRL.

GWX has submarine escorts included because they were utilised in RL...see below:

No problem...there is obviously a lot more info but it needs a little researching.

I call it 'the eternal crossroads' because it catches most of the traffic in and out of the Med as well as the northbound South African traffic and the northern tip of the southern leg of the cross Atlantic traffic.
