Friendly Fire????

ridgewayranger · 07-18-07, 12:24 PM

Hi Everyone,
Plodding around the Rockall Bank I encountered what purported to be a friendly convoy, it was coloured blue on Gods Eye. I got sunk in very short order! Why would a friendly convoy be off the West coast of Britain? Or is this another of the tricks of GWX 1.03?
Next time I shoot first and ask questions afterwards, if I survive!

And its only blue as you added the files back to make it so

Slightly wrong try, shoot first and blame Bernard after wards.

if the convoy icon was looking like a sub's icon then you encountered a enemy convoy followed by a (few) sub(s)
if it was a blue square :hmm: then somthing is wrong

Hi,
Yes it was a convoy symbol, large and round (and blue).
I checked through the scope after I dived rather hurriedly and saw several merchantmen and, obviously, escorts. what would I have changed to get the wrong colour? Other targets which I attacked were red.

its a standart colour from GWX i think.
but keep in mind, if its a convoy symbol,blue and round then its followed by other subs.
you should try to find the subs

usualy they are already destroyed

If you had a base GWX install it would have showed as a grey icon and you would have been more carefull
:rotfl:
All it means is the radio report is coming from an axis sub trailing a convoy
