I see too many BBs in GWX.
They turn up in convoys doing 6 knots with only a flower class as escort.

Jim: could you/the GWX team do something about this for GWX3.0 please?

Marvellous... I guess we will never see a BB again in 3.0. And if we do, they will probably be steaming at 20 knots with an 8 DD screen.

So what if The Nelson, Rodney and Hood are the whores of the game. I never even saw them before GWX (of course, I dont remember much stock playage, it was so long ago) and I am glad I got the opportunities to sink them. I will miss them.

They'll still be about Mike

Does that mean there will be no changes?

It really didn't feel right shooting a BB doing 6 knots and there where really only two flowers escorting it.

It does take away the sense of achievement a little...

@Letum....Apologies, I never saw your earlier post

I shouldn't imagine you'll see much change in that area.....TBH I haven't seen the latest files for over a week now.

Kptlt. Letum I find your lack of enthusiasm most disheartening. I am afraid I must report you.
I am sure the gestapo would like a few er.. words with you, Herr Kaluen.

Well thats good news...

I thought that BBs alone in a convoy were the early war security for them. So isnt it realistic in the early years to have them where they are?
