I understand that career gameplay in SH3 spawns ships on the map based on certain factors. What I would like to know, is just how smart the system is. I'm playing with GWX3 and some smaller mods.
In my career it is now December 1939 and I'm on my 3rd wartime patrol and I'm attacking my first real convoy. Literally tons of fun btw. My second attack on the convoy was like straight from Das Boot: Surface torpedo attack at night, then... Alaaaarrrm!
Also I would like to ask if sinkings are only logged if you're in detection range of the ships? I had three separate torpedo impacts, but got only one sinking in the captains log.
Well, back to the subject. On first wartime patrol I only got single ships of variable size. On second patrol biggest formation I ran to was 2 ships on now on my third a real convoy escorted by couple of destroyers. So, difficulty is progressing as it should be. How well is real history factored in? Invasions of Denmark and Norway are not far away and I'd like to know if the campaing is more likely to spawn British military vessels on the coastal waters of Norway (especially near Narvik) during the invasion.
