Battleships in convoys?

deamyont · 11-18-06, 08:09 AM

I red somewhere that battleships were assigned as escorts to convoys, (for example HMS Ramilles that Scharnhorst & Gneisenau sighted)... however I've never seen that in the game. (Havent seen anything bigger than a CL guarding a convoy..)

So... running GW 1.1, is there any chance I'll find a battleship in the middle of a convoy?

I`ve never seen one in a convoy. Task forces though ...

The only Warship I saw in a convoy was a Cruiser (Auxiliary or Dido)

Have seen Bogue carriers Dido and Southampton but none of the big BBs

The only time I ever saw a battleship in a convoy was when I saw the Malaya in one in the North Atlantic in Aces of the Deep (the original game, not the SHIII mod pack). Sank her too, and got away.

But that was a long, long time ago.

In stock SHIII, I can't remember ever seeing a warship larger than a destroyer in a convoy. But I haven't played that much lately...:hmm:
