Convoy reports in TGW

robj250 · 10-20-06, 04:43 PM

I am half-way thorugh my first patrol (1939) using TGW and I have yet to receive a radio message on where there is a convoy.

When playing the vanilla SH3, I always received information about a convoy and then it showed up on the map so I could plot an intercept.

What do you mean by radio message ?
The ones where you have to press M to read or a contact report that appears in the text screen at the bottom ?

They don't start unil you're 3/4 done with your patrol.

Contact reports appear at any time depending on how close you are to important contacts
And yes the number of contacts was reduced from stock IIRC as in RL the nav map wouldnt be covered in convoy contacts
There is a convoy route pull down map in the top left corner with the main convoy routes - you will still have to hunt its not like a bus route where just sit and wait for one to come along but it gives you an idea of where they are

By saying "pull down the map in the top left" are you referring to that dark tab at the top left? If you are, then I'm sorry, I didn't know. Thanks.

Sorry, but I don't know how I receive a message about a convoy.
