Should I report the TF contact first, then try for an attack, or vice versa?

Generally, you have to get close enough, like 7000 yds or so, before you can ID the group and send a contact report. Could be pretty exciting if you're spotted, or they pick up your radio signal. Which is most important - report or attack?

Unknown at the time, the Japanese had VERY good optics.
