The only time I've seen a taskforce in the default campaign was after I'd attacked a merchant convoy west of Gibraltar and dived deep to escape the escorts. I found myself surrounded by high-speed screw sounds, kept deep and silent, and when they'd passed over returned to PD to look for stragglers.
Then I saw a BB, or possibly a CA, heading off over the horizon at high speed, DDs in attendance. The taskforce must have been only a couple of miles behind the merchants, travelling much faster, and I'd assumed that those noises were the merchants' escorts.
Needless to say, there was no point in trying to catch them up - very frustrating!
