Task Force Question...

task forces are going like convois. They spawn somewhere at some time at some propability rate and go on their route with slightly randomized waypoint shifting and kill anything on their way. When they reach final waypoint they disappear.

Its a lot of fun to see when a taskforce comes across a big size convoi with a lot of escorts. But mostly they will just go through their waypoints without much trouble but one or two single merchants.

Well...it turned out to be a bust. The task force made it halfway between Pearl and the Gilbert Islands and took a turn to the southeast. I hung with it until we hit the equator, then made for Tokyo via Midway.

I can't complain too much though, as I ended up between two med sized convoys both travelling south about 15NM apart. I'd hit one, run away, surface, run to the other. I was only able to bag 4 merchants though....my aim sucks.

Anyways, I overstated the size of the American Task Force a bit. On final count it was 2 Tankers, 1 light crusier, 2 heavy crusiers, 7 destroyers, and the two Carriers.

And a pic of me sailing within the destroyer screen.
