I have a question regarding IC.

I know in your notes you said you reduced single merchant's, but honestly i think its overkill

I went through IC awhile ago, and found that much traffic groups, has say

a 15% chance to spawn. Ok no problem, but the kick in the teeth of that group that has a 15% chance to spawn, the single ship that the group consists of, has a 0% chance to spawn. Something i was always scratching my head about.

On a side (and somewhat debatable) note, i think reducing the single traffic as the war progresses isnt the way to go. Shipping didn't just stop, it became better protected. So on that basis, id recommend either upping the convoy frequency, or including alot of extra destroyer/aircover protection on shipping routes.
