Task Force question (GWX)

Erich dem Roten · 09-30-08, 06:39 PM

Ok, so I'm happy sailing around port raiding and catching convoys, where maybe if I'm lucky I'll find a cruiser or two. Heaviest ship I've sunk (outside the Hood, because I knew where it'd be) has been an American heavy cruiser.

Now I've been chasing task forces when they show up and I'm near enough for a reasonable intercept, and something has bothered me. There's never anything worth hitting...they all seem to just be convoys with small ships...maybe one or two large merchants. I was under the impression that a TF would be like...a major movement of warships. So, in GWX2.1, what does a Task Force connotate? Heavies? Well escorted convoy? Since they seem to appear most often in shallow water I find it difficult to launch an attack against a bunch of Isles class ships.
