where convoys are born and die?

Jimbuna · 03-20-09, 02:36 PM

There have been many posts from people that have seen convoys disappear when they reach their final waypoint.

Convoys will not spawn in front of you however if you are within approx 50km of them.

I don't know of any convoys that go all the way into a harbour before disappearing.

Well, when a mommy shipyard and a daddy shipyard love each other very much, you get ships! And when there are enough ships, you get a convoy!

Yes and some of them dont make it because of these things called U boats... Thats how they regulate the population.

Convoys hit thier final way point and vanish.

In real life?
A convoy would break up and go to thier final port.
Not every ship in a Convoy was destined for the same port.

As long as they made the trip to the break up point?
All was good for the most part.

Some of this break up is scripted as coastal traffic.
You'll never see a Convoy form in SH 3.
As Jimbuna stated above.
To close to a spawn point?
No spawn takes place.

It's just strange to me you would prohibit watching a unit appear
out of thin air.
But allow watching them vanish into thin air.
It's a Tesla thing I guess.

I guess the other thing why you woun't see any convoys spawning to close to your position is to prevent the spawning of the ship on top of your u-boat.
