June 25 1940 around AM41 I came across a very large (20 ish) eastbound convoy that was escorted. As I went to periscope depth and watched as the escorts opened fire on the ship in the convoy.

Were you close enough to see which ship was which Sniper450? Like a US DD or whatever, and a French freighter or something?? Were they shooting at just one ship, or several? Are you certain there was not a fellow Kaleun nearby?...

I think I know where it comes from…
I have revised the countries side entering the war, and it seems convoys have such a nation mix in there…
Maybe an ennemy that shouldn’t be…
OMG, will back up things
We can’t adjust countries side without adjusting the whole campaign missions!
An other learned lesson.

It would be nice, if things happened the way they probably did in real life, where a skipper would have been signaled that their country had surrendered, and if they continued with the convoy, they would be impounded upon arrival at destination, or they could separate themselves from the convoy, and be given safe passage from the convoy toward home - not saying that they would arrive safely, just that the convoy would not shoot at them... ?? But the game is what it is - belligerent against belligerent, and neutrals are ignored, unless you accidentally shoot one...

i would agree. some date passed when one country changed sides and when the convoy spawned, the escorts considered that ship a wolf among the sheep.
with all of the mixed convoys....the fix is going to be one hellava job. i do not envy you.

I agree with Fifi's methodology...

I won't have access to my laptop until Sunday. The wife and I are on a little vacation. I do recall a mix of nations involved. The excorts were all British if I recall correctly. I can double check everything upon my return if it would help.

It most likely isn't necessary. When Fifi flipped back to the original "clean" DefSides file, all is well.

JUST FOR INFORMATION

Playing career no more than X256 gives:

- Weather changes around each 36H!
- More ships variety!
- Better air activity
- Less ingame clock offset involving the above
- No more stuttering when action spawning
- Game more fluent less prone to CTD...

Only more patience required...

What did you have it set to in the Captain's Office prior to departure? There is a Gameplay Settings on the Options menu for the Quick Mission, Quick Patrol and Multi-Player sections, and while in a career, when in the Captain's Office, there is another set that affects it only. For the German side, it is the file cabinet next to the Exit door, while the US side uses the wooden radio console to the left of the desk.
