As to randomness
Seems the game does pick a selection of tonnages
Not sure how its done but even then in testing 1.04 I have found you can still get 5\6 ships of the same type in a 25+ ship totally randomised convoy

I wonder, if not unlike the limitation that Ichy allegedly found with random skin selection, if there is an inbuilt limit on the number of units SH3 will choose from of any type at any time?

I mean, something *is* amiss, as evidenced by the selection bias of ships starting with letters higher up the alphabet.

An interesting observation that.

yeah,

it seems every time i get to spain i find at least 2 of the add-on empire freighters
and now in 1939, up above scapa flow i find a add on pyro ammo ship

also, it seems task fores aren't task forces at all, just convoys, i want bb's to shoot at, what gives
