There are many historical convoys already in the campaign and a whole lot more added bu OHII

But the new campaign system for SH5 allows it to take random route from a to b.
This way it will change each time you play.

The Bismark route (and a few others) are nod locked and will always go the same route every time

I know it,
I was just asking if you made sure that the particular convoys reported through radio messages system are actually featured in game, since a mismatch would lead players to get confused, as it was the case with the Bismarck reports.

Common convoy reports have this format:

1940.01.05:||Convoy SLF.15 Departed Freetown for Liverpool January 19, 1940.|Estimate 8 Vessels light escort.

As you can see, except for outbound and inbound ports, no mention is made about convoy routes.
The information provided is:

- name of the convoy
- departure time and place
- destination
- expected arrival date*
- number of merchant vessels*
- extent and type of escorts*

* information marked with asterisks is not always provided

I didn't check it personally, but I think that these reports are based on historical convoys.

Yes - this could be done

Probably most of those reports are already reflected in game, since both messages and campaign shipping are based on historical records. Possibly some of them are not, and imho it would be worth rectifying these potential mismatches by either removing the corresponding reports or by adding the missing convoys.

I think you know where to look for those messages. Don't you?
