Re Wulfmann's heavily escorted convoys:
The new NYGM 2.0 has up to 15 escorts (typically 10-12) disposed around late-war convoys.
Above about 10 escorts, frame-rate perceptibly slows once you approach the convoy (I'm using a standard 1024 MB RAM/ 256 MB graphics card/ 2.0 GHz CPU, which is probably of slightly above average specification for SH3, and well above Ubisoft's stated minimun requirement). I'd hate to play against 30 escorts just for this reason, quite apart from any other.
This number of escorts, with NYGM's new sensors for escorts, provides a very serious barricade to any U-boat trying to reach the merchant ships. You will soon find, just like a real U-boat commander, that it is safer to fire salvos of long-range torpedoes from outside the screen.
Stiebler.
