Really? I didn't know that, I thought almost all DE's/DD's were capable of making around 25-30knots, even in 1939. I had thought originally that as the war progressed, the faster escorts were manufactured directly in line with the U-boot threat and their speed was upped to 30-36knots.
Why does the game do this? Surely the devs wouldn't do something as half-assed as that!! I mean hell, it wouldn't take anybody very long to search the web and find out everything needed to make the game more historically accurate, and these guys got paid big bucks to do that. To be honest, I'm starting to get pretty disappointed with some of the features of the game, although it's still the best WWII subsim around, no questions asked, there is still sooooo much room for improvement and thats a shame.
I mean, who the hell wants uberleet escorts, inaccurate and mismatched convoy composition and innacurate historical information?? Not this Kapitane anyway!!
