What convoy achievement bugged

[Cpt Hayes]

I've already sank every ship in 3 different convoys with well over 10 ships in them and still havent gotten the achievement.

It's obviously required to sink 10+ merchants , so if your convoys had 8 merchants and 5 escorts it won't count.

[Cpt Hayes]

Nowhere in the achievement does it "obviously" state 'consisting of at least 10 merchant ships', it just says a convoy of at least 10 ships. Despite that I specifically counted the merchant ships to make sure there were at least 10 before and after they were wrecks just in case it was only counting merchant ships themselves, and I did this twice. I don't know if the SPO2 mod would conflict with this achievement in any way.

At least the achievement works now after a patch compared to the battleship one, just find a convoy with 10 merchants and a few a escorts and you can get it.

I did. I even counted the ships in the after action report and it was over 10 merchants not including escorts. I also got the bonus pay for sinking the entire convoy so I know for a fact that I didnt miss any ships. The only thing I can think of is the SPO mod is messing with it somewhow.

Perhaps, I did a full 39-45 campaign and missed 3 bugged achievements myself.

Once this convoy one was fixed I just started a new modless game mid war and went looking for a convoy along the eastern uk coast with the appropriate size. Sank it and achievement popped.

I think SPO actually overwrites some of the "sinking report" code so it's probably not the best choice in mods for achievement hunting.

I meant to say it was obvious (to me) because others also reported the same issue with convoys consisting of less than 10 merchants. Sry for not making that clear.

This one still fail to trigger for me. And yes, 10+ merchants.

Personally I gave up on this, same with the bugged battleship.

Might want to try the same as me, can't remember what start it was but not the earliest. Just started a modless game, loaded up on torps and ammo, searched along the southern east coast of England for a convoy with those smaller shore merchants.

Wasn't long until I found one with around 15-20 ships on default convoy size with a small escort. Bit of torpedoing and gunning and it popped when the last ship went down from what I remember because I don't think I finished the patrol.

I'm pretty sure saving and reloading during the convoy is a no go also but I'm not 100%

Have to sunk all ships by yourself. Expel any friendly sub in the vicinity, which annoyingly often spawn right in the center of a large convoy and spoils this achievement.

Save&Load is fine, IIRC.

PS:
I'm now struggling with the "BB in convoy" achievement. Currently in late 1942.
Any hint where to find convoys with BB?
