Convoys: Uncle Herman goes over the top.

Post by knightfire_2001 »

Hi all,
I’m playing the Convoys Campaign on the RAF side and up to today it’s been going as normal, the Germans send a few escorted Stuka’s or 110’s to hit the convoys each day.
However today they have gone totally all out hitting my airfields with continual raids of 30 or so Do17’s, Ju88’s and Heinkels, sometimes unescorted. It seems the Germans are suddenly throwing everything they have at me. I’d expect this in the later Campaigns but not Convoys. Has anyone seen this before?

More experienced players will have a better answer, but the target switch happened to me from about 20 July, as recounted in this thread:

According to either a post here, or the manual, can't recall which, if the Luftwaffe reckons it's done enough damage to convoys - maybe there's a tonnage sunk trigger or somesuch - it will start hitting your airfields and other targets sooner than the real Adler Tag.

What you're reporting is exactly what I saw - not just a target switch, but a step-up in pace - raids coming thick and fast, starting with the coastal belt airfields and sometimes, ports. When did it happen to you? Oh and good luck! I have made it to 23 July but I keep dreaming I can hear the crunch of jackboots marching up Whitehall!

Yes the steel grey wave also hit me on 20 July. I didn’t expect that the Germans would be going so full on this early. The raids are coming thick and fast. The daily headline at the end of the day said I knocked down 93 Germans, but I think my losses were pretty bad too with some of my planes caught on the ground refuelling. I might not send to many of my precious planes against them and just let them blast away at my airfields as they are repaired pretty quickly anyway.
