Convoy Jackpots in GWX3
Just wondering which convoy you encountered had the most attractive targets in it.
I've found Pedestal in August 1942 and have now discovered a large troop convoy in June 1940. Both seem to be scripted. In the summer of 1941 there are several convoys in the North Atlantic with large numbers of tankers in them. Anyone care to add more? |

I like those arctic convoys,from the UK to Soviet Union.
Usually I find them south of Iceland,after Barbarossa starts (June '41),heading W,WNW !!! towards the Denmark strait. Almost exclusively tankers,large merchants and large freighters.

NE of Nova Scotia, early April '41. Sound contact on warship after warship. Thought I had found a hunter-killer group until I had the first merchant contact.
Once I got close enough for a look, the escort screen was ridiculous, Black Swans and Flowers everywhere. 14 in all with only 12 merchants. The merchants had tankers and Liberty ships on the OUTSIDE layers!! I'm thinking JACKPOT!! Turns out, it was one lousy ammunition ship in the middle. Sunk a liberty and large cargo. Was dogged by a Flower for an eternity. He finally broke off and headed back to the convoy, at 6 KNOTS! I surfaced, ran around him and sank him before he could rendesvous with the convoy. Can't have an elite crew dogging my heels everytime I head that way.
