Hi all...

I'm up to mid '41 in my career, and whenever I find a Convoy up in the North Atlantic, it's normally pretty much the same setup, probably 4 or 5 rows of ships with 3 or 4 ships in each row, some US ships (like a T3 and a couple of C3s) that I can't attack yet, and the rest British ships, with one T2 and a three C2s, and then smaller merchants.

I just spend a few days hounding one of those convoys, taking out the T2 and 3 C2s, and as I was heading back south I came across another convoy!

And this one was different, much bigger (maybe another 10 ships or so) and they're all British, with about 5 or so T2/T3 and even more C3s. Also, they're not in a standard layout, the front 10 or 15 ships are in 4 or 5 rows, but the ones in the back of the convoy are all over the place, changing direction, almost hitting each other etc. Basically as if they've been attacked (before I went near them).

Is this convoy unusual or have I just been always getting the more 'sedate' UK/US convoy up until now? Of course, when I found them I only had 4 torpedoes left, and 2 of them where in the stern, but I still had some fun with so many targets!
