Task: Inflict Losses to Convoy Escorts

SgtSabre · 03-20-10, 02:11 PM

(Running latest OM + OMEGU)

Twice now I've encountered a large convoy, reported the contact, and been directed to attack the convoy's escorts. I find this to be an exceptionally difficult task. The escorts move every which direction and shift speeds from 5kts to over 20kts. I can't seem to get a decent solution for them before they change course or speed.

Has anybody had success with this task? How did you go about it?

Ignore the order. Escorts aren't worth any real tonnage, and they don't carry anything that aids the enemy's war effort. I only shoot at them when I absolutely have to.

Sink lots of merchant tonnage, and BdU will forget they ever gave that command.
