A VERY pleasant surprise

good one!

thanks! I'm finding that deck gun shots in the sensitive areas helps conserve the ammo too. They actually work better than the torpedoes. So well, it would turn Guderian's brown eyes blue.

For those that are unaware, the "lead" ship's nationality and type in each convoy denotes whether it is friendly, neutral or enemy and whether it is a task force or a convoy.

e.g if you have a DD as the lead ship even if it is the only warship in the convoy and everything else as merchants, the convoy would be marked as a task force.

Yes the naughty british try to screw us.I recently saw a "neutral" convoy escorted by british warships and quite few of the merchants were british.I sunk 4 ships (yes one was small greece tramp steamer) but that would teach them not to try this tricks again.
Not to mention that any ships escorted by brits is legitimate target.

Beware of Greeks bearing war supplies???

With neutral convoys, you need to be careful not to hit the neutrals they can turn on you. but you can level them afloat to pick up the survivors of the ships you sink!

I came across a convoy that was labeled neutral, only one ship was and there were only two escorts! One of them a sub in the convoy! Needless to say, both went straight to Davy Jones! Along with most of the convoy! (there were two coastal merchants left, but I had run out of ammo and the crew had thrown their boots and Bernard at them, so I had to let them go)

I bet that made Churchill choke on his cigar!

I wish i was more coolheaded and actually get close to a convoy for reason other than torpedoing it Everytime (even i have played for quite some time) I get so excited and dont check the flags.Just cant remember to do everything in the few moments i leave for myself to calculate a solution.
