Massive Task Force!
 

I ran into a massive Task Force and wanted to know if anyone else had run into it. I am off the African coast in Quadrant FN I beleive (can't remember the date). This Task Force consists of the following in order of appearance.

Hunt 1 Destroyer :(
Dido Cruiser :-?
CV Illustrious :)
2nd CV Illustrious :D
Nelson BB :o
Dido Cruiser
Fiji Cruiser
King George BB
2 Reveng BBs
2nd Nelson BB
and bringing up the rear are 4 Auxillary Cruisers
with 2 more Destroyers off on the edges

It is in 1941 and I am commanding an XXI (yeah, I know CHEATER) :rotfl: loaded full of T-1 steamers. I have this saved and have been playing around (so much fun taking on this force) and this last time I sent 1 CV to the bottom, a second CV limping off at 10 kt with its nose in the water (will have to track it down :yep: ), the first Nelson caught one in the forward ammo bunker and went up like the 4th of July, killed the King George, the 2nd Nelson took a couple torpedoes and crept along with a severe tilt but I caught up to it and finished it off and watched it roll over (my first roll over of a BB, very cool) , finally I launched a couple magnetics at 2 of the Auxillary Cruisers which promptly whent down.

Now to go find the crippled CV Illustrious. :rock:

How did u get the XXI, could the same be done if i wanted the IXD/2, i'll love to have this in 1940 :rock:

You're lucky! I encountered mt first TF the other day and stalked it halfway back across the Atlantic only to find it comprised of 2 corvettes, a DD and a couple of cargo ships unless I missed the rest somehow.

Then the escorts drove me off.

Boohoo :D

What mods are you using??That sounds something of a record?The entire Home Fleet on the move :o

Exactly.

There's no such force in the original game.

:hmm:

Here are the mods I am running which I think could involve this:

Improved Convoys
SH3 Map Convoys
Spy Sat

Not sure what over writes what, but the Spy Sat was the last one loaded using the Generic Mod Enabler.

Oops.

Which version of IC are you running? ;)

:up:

ImprovedConvoys-200507290058(1.4ready).7z

So Jason?What is the Home Fleet up to?Some big operation going on :hmm:

I edited the dates that it comes available. For the XXI I had to add the previous years.

Shouldn't be anything. I am not sure where it's coming from.

The latest IC has some experimental task forces, but I haven't released it yet. (You can download it, but I never announced it pending testing.)

worthless without pics!

Here are some. I did not get the Aux Cruisers, but can if I need to.

I don't think it's anything I introduced with IC.
