... I'm finding a vast abundance of vessels less than or equal to 2500 tons.

Coastal Freighters
Small merchants
Tramp steamers
Small freighters
V&W Destroyers
A&B Destroyers
Black Swans
Hunt I Class
Fishing Boats

"Verdammt! Is this what I was sent here for?"

I've set up ambushes along convoy routes, naval route choke points all over the mediterranean. Waited for days and each time I check the hydrophone to see what kind of a vessel we've just picked up, it's the accursed sound of a small merchant and the likes I have listed above. I've seen so many of them, and not a single convoy for over a month along the Liverpool - Alexandria route.

I feel disappointed too because quite often a single Coastal Freighter or similar junk is being escorted by up to three warships. :hmm: While one or two warship escort for a single small merchant is much more common, almost a norm. It was like this in GWX 1.3 but there were other, proper targets too which are no more. Taking these out time and again for absence of a better target, I feel like a carnivore forced to live on small rodents and refuse.

It's ultra rare to find anything bigger here in the med. I've bagged a couple of Liberty cargo vessels and that's it. So while I feel sincerely thankful for the pretty stuff and a great work by the GWX team for GWX 2.0, I find that my favorite playground has been ruined.

I guess I'll start over with a new carrier and head to the tropicanas where the sun is warm and so is the hoochie woochies.
