Recently returned to SH3 after nearly 6 years of "shore duty".

While playing vanilla SH3 toward the end of a patrol, got word of a convoy headed my way.

2 escorts, front and back. Feeling a bit rusty, I decided to make my attack run on the first 2 merchants on the right side of the convoy and evade. Both hit, both sunk.

Only 2 fish left, 1 front, 1 aft.

Just one hour after resuming patrol, Sonar reports numerous merchants seemingly following the first convoy's track.

No warships? Confirmed, no warships.

Commenced my surface attack run at 0230, C2 sunk using both fish and my deck gunner had a field day sinking 4 ships and setting another on fire before expending all ammunition.

Now that I've updated SH3 and loaded GWX gold and SH3 Commander, I've never had two convoys that close together.
