Hi all,

Still not sure if wolfpacks are working for me as intended.

With my original setup playing through SH3Cmdr, i did not recieve any of the messages in the new en_menu.txt as mentioned above, i did however when sending a convoy contact report have the convoys speed and course displayed in my contact report.

The situatuion i have now,( i have re-installed SH3Cmdr, but the results are the same with or without it) is that the new messages are now showing, and i can send and recieve messages to Bdu fine. However in my sent contact report i have.

convoy course: xx
convoy speed: xx

so i have two x's appearing for both course and speed and not the numerical values i set on the bearing and speed dials. Will this make a difference?

I have tried the single mission about 6 times now, and i have not yet had a wolfpack attack order. I have recieved the messages below

; BDU orders to attack alone
4863=Full freedom of manoeuvre granted.
4864=Individual attack recommended.
4865=Attack at discretion.
4866=Attack on your own. Good luck.

; BDU responses on 1st contact report
4867=Good work! Maintain contact. Homing signals every hour.
4868=You are the contact holder. Transmit hourly. Other boats on way.
4869=Curb your impatience! Support is on way. Hourly transmissions needed.
4870=At last a convoy! Stick with it until pack arrives. Request hourly updates.

; BDU responses on 2nd and later contact reports
4871=Signal received. Continue hourly transmission.
4872=Signal acknowledged. Continue holding contact.
4873=Good work. Hourly transmissions needed.
4874=Continue holding contact.
4875=Shadow the convoy. Transmit hourly.
4876=Signal received. Hold contact. Good luck.
4877=Hold contact. Beware of escorts.
4878=Contact report received. Hourly transmissions needed.
4879=Pack is on the way. Homing signals every hour.
4880=Other boats are on the way. Continue hourly transmission.

sometimes up to about 5 or 6 reports but then i finally recieve one of the messages below

4863=Full freedom of manoeuvre granted.
4864=Individual attack recommended.
4865=Attack at discretion.
4866=Attack on your own. Good luck.

am i just unlucky so far? or is this a problem with my convoy contact reports showing xx for course and speed and therefore no targetting information is available for the wolfpack?

Any help appreciated

regards
