The reason is that a good amount of T2 and T3 tankers have freight (CargoInt=0) instead of fuel (CargoInt=2) as their internal cargo which makes them, of course, more difficult to sink. |
I hadn't thought I'd included too few with fuel.
Should more tankers be sinking by violent explosion in IC?
HX runs at 50%.
SC runs at 100% for all convoys with tankers.
All west bound convoys are empty.
ON has 10%.
OS has 50%.
Arctic convoys running to Russia have 100%.
SL runs at 50%.
UC (back to US from GB) has 10% filled for return trip.
CU is 100% on way from US.
OG runs at 100%.
HG runs at 100%.
KX runs at 100%.
UGS runs at 100%.
Now, many of the above have very few tankers. HX should have roughly 40 or 50% tankers, though, and SC should have a small number of tankers. So, you ought to be scoring some hits.
Maybe you've just been unlucky?
Which convoys was it?
I thought my values has been more generous than the stock game, but perhaps not. From a hackish evaluation of the data, ignoring which convoy is which, it looks like as a total percentage of the cargo, ships that have fuel is less than the original convoys.
However, I included fewer tankers in my convoys which is historically accurate, so that may account for the difference. I should probably be looking at the absolute number of tankers, then comparing the differences between stock and IC. But I'm too lazy for that.
It does, however, seem somewhat reasonable not to have all tankers fully loaded such that they explode (i.e. cargo is oil), even in east bound convoys.
Thoughts?
