Somehting I hadn't come across yet .
I just got two messages , one for a convoy and one that just said warship at 30knts .
Would that warship message mean an important/capital ship ?

going *that* fast... it most likely is.

Hard to say.....

I've received reports like that from time to time over the course of several careers. I've been able to intercept three times and each ended up as a small destroyer. I sank two and couldn't get a shot at the third.

Never seen a enemy capital ship so you never know!

Task forces with BBs, BCs, CAs usually do about 20 knots regardless if they could go faster. When you get a very fast warship, it's a destroyer or a PT.

They might be PT boats....

or a carrier...

Your call

From time to time we recieved notice on impending invasions and a request for all nearby patrols to assist.

How do you guys play this? I have joined in the fight whenever nearby but again I don't steam hundreds of miles out of my way.

Sometimes.... it is just too dangerous. D-day is practically filled with DDs

The invasion of Norway is always fun to get on over to. I heavily damaged the Rodney once in the fjords. I've never made it to '44 so I can't say anything about the D-Day landings

Oh well , I will never find out what the warship report was , worked out an intercept course and quickly ran straight into 3 ships that sank me before I could react.

That's why it's called "D Day"...
