The documents for NYGM say that it doesn't really focus on scripted encounters and focuses almost exclusively on the merchant hunting side of things. Improved convoys, escorts, ASW patrols etc.
My question is, does this mean it gets rid of task forces as well? One of my favorite things about SH3 vanilla and GWX too was occasionally dropping on a battleship or an aircraft carrier, outside of a scripted encounter. Just a random task force reported by BDu.
Are these encounters still in the game? Can you still find the odd capital ships dotted around? Or are they all removed in favour of the random convoys and merchants?
Cheers,

I've done a lot of campaigns in NYGM (and GWX) and while I don't know the answer to your question, I've never seen a capital ship. But I also haven't looked for them. There are escort carriers; have seen those.
A quick look in the .rnd and .scr campaign files will answer your question though.
Fwiw, I haven't really noticed much difference between NYGM and GWX in terms of "realism", etc..
They both play very similar.
