Modding Convoys

[Shahed]

Hi Wooly !

Thanks for the reply.

Well I've just spent about 25 days looking for the KMS (20-22 it's in google, first link) near Malta. Bagged 4 other cargoes, 2 with the deck gun, still have 29 shells left (GW1.1).

I want to have a look in that file and see how the convoys work, because I'm convinced I'm looking in the right place but.... still no convoy. Have a look here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...d=1#post302430

Ok maybe 14 more days but if nothing passes through here till then, that means I don't understand how the convoys work in this game. I don't want to be limited to hunting in chokepoints.

Also I want to change the convoys a bit so that I can see bit more variety in them and perhaps mod some military convoys in as well. Ammunition freighters with some cruiser/DD/air cover through Gibraltar, for example.

I'll have a look after this patrol and report back. Got any ideas ?

Thanks for the help.

:hmm: Scripting historical stuff is a nightmare - believe me I know lol

Convoy KMS leaves Firth of Clyde 22\10\42 then every 247 hours

9 mercs and 4 escorts - yes in RL should be a lot bigger,well from 43 on anyway

Let me know wher you are and the date and will give you a rough idea if its on way or gone
lol

LOL ! Ok

My date is now 10:21 Febraury 1st 1943, am in grid .. well here's a screenshot, easier.



The circles are my 20km search zones. Lines are routes I've spotted single merchants on. I should meet one if there are 3 which leave every month.

Have I a chance, soon?

How do you know the top two are closest ? And if I want to make the convoy larger how do I do that ?
