@Rokko:
1. Few radio mesages: This was deliberate, because every time you receive a radio message tc drops to 1. That is a real nuisance if you are trying to sail at tc = 1024 (or higher) across the ocean to a distant patrol grid. It makes it difficult to read a book while you are waiting. So only a handful of key messages are included with NYGM.
Today, one can remove this tc=1 problem by installing H.sie's hard-code mod (check the sticky at the top of the mods page) that prevents tc from falling to 1. (Actually it was my code, I got so exasperated with this problem, reworked by H.sie for inclusion in his mod.)
If you want to add a lot more messages - and I don't recommend it unless you have H.sie's code patch installed - try here:

All convoys -even early war convoys- have at least 3 escorts.

Yes, this is (largely) true. Forget the widely held view that early in the war convoys were unescorted once they reached a certain point west in the Atlantic. It is not true. [Ahem - see my book, 'The Milk Cows', an updated version of the old 'U-boat Tankers 1941-45'.]
