However whenever I try to intercept them, they seem to vanish before my hydrophone is able to pick them up. I've tried to intercept them about 20 times now and I'm 100% sure they are disappearing when they get within the game "rendering" range. (to cut the long story short I'm 100% confident in my ability to intercept a convoy going 8 knots, I've done it over 50 times now), but for some reason ALL enemy task forces seem to disappear before I get in contact. *friendly task forces don't dissapear, I'm able to intercept them just fine
I can't be the only one with this issue, has anyone else noticed it's impossible to intercept enemy task forces?
Has anyone ever even managed to intercept a taskforce?
Is there any known fix?
*I tried reinstalling the game and am currently playing on a fresh GWX download with the ARB wide GUI mod, that's all
Thanks in advance for any help or replies!

I'll ask our campaign doctor to take a look at them in relation to our next release. (GWX - Knight's Cross edition)
Generally, as I recall without looking, task forces in GWX truck along at rather high speeds to make them difficult to be intercepted by U-boats, and to make torpedo firing solutions difficult. Task forces can certainly scoot down the road much more quickly than merchant convoys. Eight knots actually seems really slow for a task force to me... less than half speed actually.
I don't recall offhand, if they make
random zigzags along their plotted courses, as merchant convoys do.
They do not disappear just because you get close in GWX. They do disappear at the end of their programmed sortie.
If you did not get a marking on your navigation map showing their general position at the time of the report, then you received a radio message that is only there for the sake of 'atmosphere' and to help make it feel like you aren't the only U-boat out there on the water.
