First off I'm not sure what to call it. The games say TCS Tiger's Claw. The movie says TCS Tiger Claw and the books/handbooks say CS Tiger Claw.
My main question however is regarding the non-existent escort for the Claw. I always assumed during the games that the reason we never saw the Claw or the Concordia with escorts was simply a technical hurdle. It was probably too much to have anything more than a CAP with the ship.
Come WC3 we saw the Victory escorted quite appropriately. I suppose the only thing you could pick at was how close the ships flew together. No big deal though (and better for a cinematic aspect).
However in the film (and novels) we never see the Claw with an escort. Everything she encounters (including the Concordia who had no replacement escort in WC2) always seems to have smaller ships nearby.
Is there a contextual reason for this? An oversight?
