Escort DC inventory?

prowler3 · 01-04-09, 01:38 PM

If, in my first go at a convoy, I manage to run an escort out of DC's and then setup for another attack (following the 50km rule)...will he still be out of them when I return to take a few more of his sheep out?

I believe yes but this is a rather peculiar strategy.

Go in there and find out.

Never tried that myself so would be interesting/useful
to know.

I'm about to...and the lone escort ran out of DC's on my last run. Only 2 fish left (1 fore and 1 aft) so this will be my "parting shot" to a very nice early war convoy.

Stay within rendering range and all should be as you left it
Move outside rendering range then back in and the convoy will be as new

Are we talking the "50km" rule?

Why do you say that? I'm not saying I puposefully sit around while the escort pounds me! :rotfl: It just happens that, sometimes while trying sneak away for a breath and reload, he will hound me until he's out...and then some. Once you've made your run there really isn't any way to catch them again, and reload, and not run out of battery and air...and "be wery, wery qwiet" (Elmer Fudd) in the process.

I've always found it best to get away, surface and get everything ready for another run while you get ahead of them again. I just want to be sure this guy isn't magically going to reload his DC's while I'm gone.

GWX 3.0 BTW...forgot to mention that.

OK i understand, but IMO the parameter of uncertainty and is half the fun.
