convoy behaviour at night

12-06-09, 07:01 PM

Never had that happen to me in Stock SHIII.

In a real convoy:
Milling about should not happen.
Collisions are always a possability.

A merchant Ship's Master is conditioned to stay as far away from other ships as possable (Miles!). Now put alot of these guys in a "sardines can" with each "sardine" having different ship's handling charecteristics, and different Critical Speeds, and you have a very complex and difficult situation.
I realy do have alot of respect for these guys. They shoulder alot of responsability.
