thats why if you got an unescorted convoy, you fire 1 torp at everything, then finish em with ur deck gun. its a better use of your torps believe me.

yes obviously.

but these unescorted convoys - though they do exist - are rare.

RARE!?!?!!?! dude ive encountered like 10 of em, although they vary in size. theres like some with 12 or 20 or 7 or w/e

GoldenRivet · 07-01-10, 09:53 PM

somewhat rare yes.

i have encountered a few of them... and when i do, i employee the tactic of slowing them down and finishing them off.

but perhaps you and I are operating in different phases of the game

compared to the number of escorted convoys i encounter... unescorted convoys... are rare

Or perhaps you're playing at different difficulty levels.

possibility, i play at a relatively high realism setting. (dont recall the percentage)

CaptainMattJ. · 07-01-10, 11:33 PM

but that has nothing to do with escorts or no. however i am around febuary 18th right now, 1940 i still havent sunk that carrier though i REALLY need to

Ahh could be true. Im a medium difficulty (64% or so). I like my external camera to see the gooddies, and for now am testing floatation mods so I like the ship health bars for that.

They should be RARE (especially trans atlantic).

But sadly they are not. I finished my 100K in one patrol (well 91,000k of it) due to a large unescorted convoy off the coast of Ireland.

Then on my next patrol encountered another for 70,000k....

Not very realistic...but then again when the devs decided to put these stupid high mission requirements in game to meet...Im not complaining.
