New here, just got SH3 a few weeks ago and am loving it!
Its Oct of 41 and Im Stationed at St. Naziare with a VIIC. Im now on my 3rd patrol to the west of gilbralter/spain area and all Im encountering is lone merchants, mostly small ones, no convoys? I prefferred the north atlantic because there was always some fat convoys ripe for the picking but I go where Im ordered to go.
So, this being vanilla SH3 what are my chances of seeing a convoy west of gilbralter? Its kind of boring over here....
On a side note 5 patrols ago I was steaming along at flank (512 compression)shadowing a convoy north west of ireland when I hear the WO yell ship spotted. I poke my head up to see two cruisers heading straight for me. I tried to get lined up, they were moving fast and before I new it I was nearly run over, too close for a shot, too fast to chase.... what a shame, such a great opportunity lost because my quick calculations were off by a few hundred meters.
