Large Neutral Convoy = Paydirt!
Had never pursued a neutral convoy before, but one popped up earlier this afternoon while I was patrolling west of Biscay. On a whim I figured I better check it out, so I broke from the patrol and went after them. A couple of days later we found them and wouldn't you know it, there were three neutral ships out of fifteen. Party time!
Now I know.

Guess it would help if I elaborate, huh.
Yes, the rest (including the escorts) were Brit. I had always assumed that neutral convoys would be composed entirely of neutral ships.

Very educational thread.
No more reading "neutral", and turning the other way. I always avoided them. |

The convoy is designated by the lead ship but does not automatically mean everything else in the convoy is the same.
If the lead vessel had of been a submarine (nad yes, some do exist in GWX) the the square or diamond shape would be 'round/circular' but obviously the other elements of the convoy would more than likely be ships. Conversely, the lead ship that was coloured red on the map wouldn't automatically mean everything else in the convoy was an enemy....ther might also be a submarine and or a few neutrals. Hope this helps clarify a few points.
