Well ill share my thoughts on it.
Aimed at 1943-45, because im lazy and dont want to work on spawns all years.
The 1942 spawns i tweaked with, and made them run into 43 for single ship encounters. After the 9th month in 43, theres still *a few* single ships (the 44-45 spawn i havent touched, they're default which means you'll hardly see them). In 43 i think i have this transition from singleship and small convoy to just small convoys.
The convoys themselves im having fun with logic here. For instance one of the major spawn areas is in that water way next to saudi arabia. Needless to say 90% of coming out of their is fuel. Ought to make for some 1 shot wonders. T3 tankers, T2's, a few C2s carring fuel, etc.
I can think of one other convoy where i put in a troop ship or passanger liner accompanied by a C2 carrying tanks and another trucks.
Any convoy im teaking will have big targets, but it will be no more then 4 ships, with no fewer then 3 escorts. Small, valuable, and well guarded. I need to go back and add in more escorts acutally cause i made all convoys with 3 of em. I should add in a 4th now and then.
Right now i have multiple small convoys spawning about once a week, and that may be too much, im not sure. Right now i have contact reports set for every 12 hours, 100% probablyit. Ill have to decrease that.
Two task group encounters, 50% probablity. One has two cruisers and a BB, the other has two cruisers and a fleet carrier. Both have 6 elite DD's or DD's.
The hunter killer group of 6 DD's 4 planes, and 2 Escort carriers do a round robin in the indian ociean. They have a 100% probably to spawn every 500 hours.
Its a regular shooting gallery at the moment. Just who's doing the shooting i dunno yet
Havent seen any air come out of the air bases yet, i probably didnt do it right.
Im trying to make it HARD, DANGEROUS, but very rewarding. Considering you can't choose your torpedo,s upgrade equipment, and the only viable boat is an IXD2 (unless you use HT's milk cows).
