I also made many of my convoy escorts generic and swithed them to type 3 from type 4 to prevent fleet DD's from escorting convoys. I do still place Hunt class in but with many type 3 (DE) these get lost. (I am speaking of 43 on)I am sure GWX will add many type 3 with all the detailed research on convoys as well and I will simply up the number in mine.

Your going all generic in type 102?
Does that mean you edit the years (enter/exit) of various merchants to prevent slower ships in later 14 knot convoys? If not what is happening is some of your ships (small merchants) will fall behind and therefore you won't see them.
I wish there was a way we could have stragglers but I wouldn't be surprised if GWX has also thought of that and added a few singles following the convoys.
What is for sure is having generic type in 102 means fine new ships like Serg has generously offered can be placed in the game and start to show as if they were always there.

Campaign File
 
Lately, I have only played early war campaigns so I haven't had that problem. I'll just restore the original file when I see that begin to happen. I haven't played in the last few months anyway.

There were no British DE so you wont be seeing any of them - as the RN called theirs Frigates - yes the US used DE so you will see them in convoys
And yes the vast majority of convoy entries are generic
Where fast convoys are called for they retain named units as the bulk of new shipping have all been slow to med speeds anyway
Historically scripted convoys previously added in GW1.1 have been left untouched as have other convoys provided by outside contributers
Escort numbers do increase over the years but to be honest you will wish there was only 2 row boats escorting
There are also random hunter killer groups sailing the convoy routes some hours between convoys

I am aware of the problem but do not know the reason. I am sick and tired of such Telia's crap. I am changing my internet provider in a month or so.

Webpage Problem
 
OK, I understand that. It doesn't seem to be a terribly huge problem anyway; one can simply load up the page a few times to get the links. You may want to keep that in mind as a solution for someone who says they are having problems.:yep:

SH3 type 3 are DEs and that was what I referred to.. Fact is what SH3 calls frigates were sloops and what is called a DE was a Frigate and what was called a DD (Hunt types) were called escort destroers by the Brits.
Tomato Tomato
TGW added a US DE into the type 3 for the River to the RN (that model is actually the A-G type DDs converted to convoy escorts) and the Hunt DE I got from the dark side means my generic DE type 3 convoy escorts can be 3 varied types.
I also have my type 2 (Sloops called frigates) generic as I have 4 total nice ones from the evil empire.
Sorry to be OT about Serg's nice models. I sank one last night in a 1940 first patrol and my first in a year in a type VII earlier than 1943. man is it easy. No wonder they called it the Happy times.
The captain did go down with his ship:rotfl:
So nice to see a new model, thanks agin, S
