hehe, The med is for sinking passenger liners, not taskforces :D

(also for dodging planes, and more planes, and then some more planes....)
in my last 3 patrols I've sunk 4 passenger liners for a grand total of 170k tonnes :arrgh!:

Taskforces vary, although loitering outside Gibraltar (the atlantic side that is) will eventually get you a task force, although by then you'll have used all your eels on merchants :D

Quite a few convoys in the northern routes have BBs to protect them from surface raiders. Nice, vulnerable targets for people like us. :yep:

In GWX after 1941 there is a heavily escorted TF comprising an Illustrious class carrier and four light cruisers that travels NE from Scotland across the top of the Norwegian coast and back again. I usually come across it around grids AF23/AF14.

i just sunk the HMS Victorious (Illustrious class) north west of gibraltar, grid CG (feb 1941)

1939/10/04 - 1939/10/14, Battleship Revenge, Scapa Flow
1939/11/01 - 1940/01/05, Battleship Nelson, Loch Ewe
1940/03/01 - 1940/05/01, Auxiliary Cruiser, Scapa Flow
1940/03/07 - 1940/04/25, Aircraft Carrier Illustrious, Scapa Flow
1940/04/01 - 1940/06/01, Auxiliary Cruiser, Scapa Flow

1942/02/03 - 1942/02/28, Battleship King George V, Scapa Flow

Overlapping dates mean there are 2 ships in the same harbor, ex. Oct. 9 1939 both Revenge and Aux. Cruiser are in Scapa Flow

Thank you, i just found the auxillary cruiser in 1939 thanks to you!
Where in the game files did you find these? tried looking around but i couldn't find anything relevant.
