Incredible the amount of expertise in this forum Great info, thanks!


I also have a faint memory of reading some convoy reports some year ago that mentioned that the ships in the convoy changed their RPM's in an unpredictable pattern to confuse the enemy. Speed is also a factor that is dependent on sea state too. So it's not as simple as in the game, but it is something that could be used in giving a rough estimate.
