Please fix the CONVs!

If you look at the picture, you can see the unused allied CONVs in the Atlantic...
Now, the French Resource in Bechar is Idle. Remove it from Idle and see how MWiF will transport it to be used in production in the UK!

Instead of just transporting it to Casablanca or Tangier and then overseas to Cape St. Vincent and Bay of Biscay, MWiF transports the resource all the way around Africa (see picture in the second post).

It is not possible to change this route manually. Everything works just until you hit the 'recompute' button, and then MWiF changes the route back to its own abominable route all around Africa.
I refuse to use 11 CONVs where only 2 are needed, so here I go again manipulating the save game (increasing a nearby saved oil resource or better, BP).

Second problem is the Resource in Guyana. MWiF transorts it via Cape Verde, but I want it to go via Central Atlantic. Why give Axis Subs an extra 10% chance of finding in Cape (11 CONVs instead of 10)???
Like the problem with the Bechar Resource, I cannot change the route manually. MWiF Simply refuses my input after I hit the 'recompute' button.





In My Humble Opinion... CONV problems like these are in MWiF for far too long already.

Please Fix.
How are people supposed to play the allies like this? Allies loose resources to this, and not just a little.

Steve has been working on this lately and the next version should see improvements.

Delighted to hear that!

I'm really sorry if I sometimes come through a bit strong on this subject but atm the convoying is quite a frustration. For me, at least. I love to play this game but the more often this happens the stronger the frustration becomes. I hope people can understand.

BTW, I think it is not that MWiF has to come up with better CONV-routes, if it is hard to make it do so (although it would be awesome [;)]), but the most important thing is that MWiF starts accepting player changes to these routes again. I remember when I started to play MWiF, it always accepted my changes to routes. Don't know why or when exactly it has stopped accepting player changes. Sometime during the past year I think.

Personally I don't mind even the most inefficient routes, as long as the program accepts my changes (like, in my OP's case, transport Bechar to Casablanca/Tangier and then overseas to the UK per 2 CONVs).
