Wish all the liner mods were JSGME compatible...installed them the other way and nothing's shown up yet; they're not even in my museum. However, those that I've installed via JSGME DO show up.

And who's been lucky enough to spot these liners? I've been going batty trying to even SPOT Aquitania. (I'm not even going into the fact that this is my THIRD campaign and I've never even SEEN a BB, CV, CA, or CL; my crew is starting to think the Royal Navy is comprised solely of DDs, Black Swan frigates, Flower corvettes, and Elco torpedo boats.

That's exactly what they want you to think. They're trying to hide all the good stuff!

Try positioning yourself approx. 250km west of Gibraltar and you should find one or two convoys that have a BB in their midst.

One of my (new) favorite happy hunting grounds!

Well, apparently the RN DOES have bigger ships...attacked a convoy today and lo and behold there was a Fiji-class CL in the middle!

...along with an S-class submarine that was also apparently part of the convoy for some strange reason.

Anyone care to guess why GWX puts subs as convoy vessels? To my knowledge this wasn't done IRL.

GWX has submarine escorts included because they were utilised in RL...see below:

No problem...there is obviously a lot more info but it needs a little researching.

I call it 'the eternal crossroads' because it catches most of the traffic in and out of the Med as well as the northbound South African traffic and the northern tip of the southern leg of the cross Atlantic traffic.
