can we have a "send insult to BdU" message ?
 
For the umptieth time shadowing a convoy with one torp left after sinking 5 ships and there it is again... "be more agressive"... As if BdU did not get my status reports including how many torps I have left and ammo....

So I would really like an insulting message to send them via the radio man.

Now I just, after a message like that, keep radio silence for weeks on end just to mess with them. Or just refuse to follow their "investigate" request. Sodd them, in their comfy bunkers and Villa in Kiel......

It's usually or 'keep radio silence for ...' or 'be more @#!=....'

I have not seen a response saying 'Do not attack the convoy, wait for reinforcements to come to your position' or stuff like that, because that's why I'm sending these messages.
Also important: there are 3 types of messages: Status Messages, Convoy Spot Messages, Contact Messages. Don't confuse them! In my experience, Status Messages do nothing but may get enemy planes to chase you; Contact Messages can get friendly planes come-in and attack your contact, but you need to be reasonably close to a friendly airport (you can check their ranges). Convoy Messages did nothing for me so far, I guess it will also cause friendly planes to come-in rather than other subs.

This makes me wonder: Are there any Wolfpack forces that can assist me in the game?

For me when shadowing a convoy contact messages got the response "sending available subs to your area" which they did, "Investigate and keep sending status updates" et cetera and the occasional "good job". Also something like "keep to your current objective and stay undetected" so somehow message scripts do seem to work in relation to actions in the game.
