Dream Convoy

Cyclops - i think that's what it was called - Collier-type Cyclops - in the rec manual - seems new since GWX 2.0. It's about 10k, a long ship, with 7 pairs of masts. It's salient that way. Still, the T3s were the big payoff. If I had encoutered this brute convoy further out to sea/earlier in the patrol, I would have loved to hound it all the way and systematically reduce it to nothing in three or four assaults. A convoy of that size, you'd have to think that it's complete destruction would have a noticeable impact on the course of the war.

The gap I described between dominican and puerto rico is ripe with lone tankers too - i caught two or three single T2s or T3s, moving fast. Deck-gun bait. Bigtime.

Sure, there are 2 types, the cyclops, and the cyclops class (this is what its called?), the cyclops (the special ship) is not sinkable, torps will pass through it and shells will not impact.

Interesting...this was the smaller of the two - Coller-class Cyclops, or whatever. Too bad about the Cyclops - it's a heavy one - i'd hate to fire 4 torps at her and get nothing. Then, I'd probably try to deck gun her. Maybe that would work?
