It is indeed the mod causing it - specifically the many many many new ship models being loaded.

I hop into a game and love the ports. A hive of activity with alot going on! I then head to my designated partol area and pick up a convoy - excellent!
One of my favorite parts is to sail out of the port in real time, watching all the ships and planes doing their thing.

Quote:
I move ahead of the convoy and wait patiently for it to come. The Escort rolls by so I slowly move in but in my horror I realise that about 80% of the ships in the convoy are more escorts!? Is this as intended? I know I wanted to see more Military Naval Units but a convoy of escorts?
Don't know about that one - I've never seen it before.

Is there a place where I can find ALL the changes the mod makes to the game? Also, on installing the mod I shortcut was created for JSGME. I'm assuming that these are further changes I can make to the mod?
Read the manual. It's all there. JSGME is an installation tool that lets you install - and uninstall - further mods painlessly.

Further to my original post, now that I have the mod, where would I be best looking for some Battleships and Aircraft Carriers?
You're job is to sink enemy merchant shipping. Big plums are to be sunk when they come to you, not hunted for.:rotfl:
(sorry, couldn't resist)

Are there any additional mods which you would highly recommend?
Many that I like - the list is very long. The only one that is really essential is SH3 Commander, which is not a mod but a tool that lets you change a great many things in the game with one mouse click, and which gives your captain and crew a life of their own. Must-have - every bit as important as GWX.

Sorry for so many questions but there is really alot to take in and reading thread after thread of information, I am finding it hard to absorb. I find it much easier to learn myself and ask the questions on what I am unsure of.
You'll have more. And we'll have answers. Ask away.
