Good Story Markshot!
Last night I had my first attempted convoy intercept. In stock SH3 I would have drawn a straight line from the tail of the contact marker and just lied in wait ahead of the convoy.
Not this time, no tail, just a cardinal coordinate. I plotted the general direction and some range rings to determine when I should start a search pattern. It was only a 5 hour transit to this point. I tried several legs and hydrophone checks....but no luck. Either the convoy changed direction (zigged, etc) or I just missed it or the crew was too green to pick up the convoy I will never know. Despite not being able to intercept I was actually happy to see that I couldn't find it and that I had some challenges ahead of me....making the reward all the more worthwhile!
