singletons during late war years
a question for those who made it through late war years: does the quantity of single ships decrease progressively? i mean after 1941 - 1942. are there more convoys and less single merchants or it is (approximatively) as in 1939? or there are no singletons at all at the end of the war?

From 1943, convoys are rare and youll be lukcy to get near them without getting detected. planes are everywhere and smell you from miles away like shark to blood. Lots off single DDs floating about and less single merchent contacts.
War is hell. |

I have found two vessels steaming along around New York. Other than that it is convoy city.

It usually depends on the area of operations. Generally speaking you encounter more convoys in the later years, but if you hunt in the area around Cuba, Rio de janeiro, Gulf of Mexico and the Med you tend to find single merchants or small convoys (2-3 merchants with one DD)

I'm sick of being hunted by those damn DDs and stalking single merchants...it's time to raid Dover in 1943 and find me some nice juicy targets......
My VII-B U-47 will pwn you all , evil pommies!!! All ahead full!!! P.S : Is the success rate of port raiding after 1943 really as low as 0.01%? I've heard that there are many airshows around the ports.... maybe I can catch a glimpse of them.

Strewth that was a good comeback! You pommie drongo's will have to get better at Cricket/Rugby/League/Tennis/Darts/Swimming to start calling us sheep shaggers! Alarm! Ein Pommie Zerstorer! just doesn't sound right does it? Mind you you might just pull out a draw today if you are lucky! |
