Default Wacky NYGM convoys

Lately after hitting a convoy, they've been coming to a stop/ships going every which way/getting badly mixed up, etc. on a fairly regular basis.

The convoy will sit there for hours and hours (game time). Sometimes they form back up, sometimes not.

I have not changed my game configuration in any way.

Ideas ? I know this was a stock problem.

John your tonnage totals must be through the roof with sitting targets, like shooting fish in a bucket, heh, heh.

Never encounter that phenomenon when playing NYGM or SH3 for that matter. That was a occurrence with SH2 though.

Does this happen in a campaign or SP?

Sorry, no real help.

Good hunting,

Nah, I get so disgusted I just leave the scene. Happens in campaign. Stiebler mentions in a readme that generic convoys can have this problem, but he thought it wasn't a problem in NYGM's generic file. (without looking at the readme again).

I have already seen this with SH4 OM, but rarely though.
Like if suddenly there isn’t any convoy waypoint anymore.
Could be if you killed the convoy leader, and no other ship taking the lead?

I thought of that too, but unfortunately no in every case.

Any particular location where this happend? (date/ location/campaign mod please) It's normal for convoys to come to a halt and disappear at the end of their journey some distance from the port destination.

[edit] I just realized that I don't have the NYGM mod, so can't help in specific answers about ending of particular convoy routes.

It's various locations, but all have been deep water. They don't disappear; just come to a halt jumbled up pointing this way and that.
