hehe, The med is for sinking passenger liners, not taskforces

(also for dodging planes, and more planes, and then some more planes....)
in my last 3 patrols I've sunk 4 passenger liners for a grand total of 170k tonnes

Taskforces vary, although loitering outside Gibraltar (the atlantic side that is) will eventually get you a task force, although by then you'll have used all your eels on merchants

Quite a few convoys in the northern routes have BBs to protect them from surface raiders. Nice, vulnerable targets for people like us.

In GWX after 1941 there is a heavily escorted TF comprising an Illustrious class carrier and four light cruisers that travels NE from Scotland across the top of the Norwegian coast and back again. I usually come across it around grids AF23/AF14.

Moored capital ships (spoiler)

Below are the dates and locations of moored capital ships, extracted from the game data files and listed in chronological order. Note that the dates only seem approximate.

  • 1939/09/15 - 1939/10/10, Auxiliary Cruiser, Scapa Flow
  • 1939/10/04 - 1939/10/14, Battleship Revenge, Scapa Flow
  • 1939/11/01 - 1940/01/05, Battleship Nelson, Loch Ewe
  • 1940/03/01 - 1940/05/01, Auxiliary Cruiser, Scapa Flow
  • 1940/03/07 - 1940/04/25, Aircraft Carrier Illustrious, Scapa Flow
  • 1940/04/01 - 1940/06/01, Auxiliary Cruiser, Scapa Flow
  • 1940/05/17 - End of war, Fiji Light Cruiser, Loch Ewe
  • 1940/05/24 - 1940/06/30, Dido Light Cruiser, Scapa Flow
  • 1940/12/11 - 1940/12/31, Battleship King George V, Scapa Flow
  • 1941/02/01 - 1941/02/17, Auxiliary Cruiser, Scapa Flow
  • 1941/02/10 - 1941/03/20, Auxiliary Cruiser, Scapa Flow
  • 1942/02/03 - 1942/02/28, Battleship King George V, Scapa Flow
Overlapping dates mean there are 2 ships in the same harbor, ex. Oct. 9 1939 both Revenge and Aux. Cruiser are in Scapa Flow
Thank you, i just found the auxillary cruiser in 1939 thanks to you!
Where in the game files did you find these? tried looking around but i couldn't find anything relevant.
