Hi.
I found many of the radio messages to be very irrilevant. And there is a lot of message early in the war but hardley not any at late war.
There is also many bad entries in the file that i try to fix.
Iam trying to spread it out more and add/change some reports whit more action in them.
Also that some information tells a story/happening/event.
let say some sub made contact whit a convoy. order is carried out to shadow it. Then some other subs get order to intercept and engage. Then message how thos sub succeded. Then SoS message from sinking ships. And ships picking up survivors.
Another small episode i lighted up was 2 ships that hited a mine. Both request assistance. later a message apear that a boat have pcked upp survivours from thos 2 boats. A day later the same ship that picked up the survivours is also hited by a mine and sunk whit all hands lost.
I also increase the message probability so you will recive this messages.
i aim to have at least 15 messages for each month during the hole war.
Some changes are done also how a message is shown or to whom its adressed
Like this:
@BdU HQ@^Officer only^| I changed the BdU to have HQ in thier message.
Also more officers only message.
Some ships that are not in convoy are sending out pure sos messages.
A typical message can look like this:
@Open Freq, 500 k/cs.@|1939/12/01|SOS SOS SOS CQ DE 5TER 5TER 5TER BT SOS 281751Z M/V DAHOMIAN TAKING ON WATER ENGINE ROOM FLOODED POSN 13.73N 152.55W NEED IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE AR MASTER SOS
Convoy ships are reporting in a different way. They use a four-letter code. For example, SSSS, would indicate an attack by U-boats, AAAA for aircraft, and QQQQ for armed surface raiders.
I also remove open frequency sending from uboats coz that is not realistic they they use that frequency.
This is a major work and of course iam not changing any of the important messages. And iam usng GWX latest patch in this matter and also integrated order mod.
So it gona take quite some time before iam done whit this but i hope it will create more action to the messages you recive.
So far after 2 days i have only manage to complete year 1939 that consist of 4 month.
Another thing i will look into is to try and create New orders for you. But its imposible to know what sub number you are in and on what part of the world you currently are.
But i will figure out somehow to adress it.
Things that i have in my mind is to give you and order that will be like a second order. You have your gridpatrol order but then after that is completed. You might be order to nearest port for intelligence reports. or to take out the navy ships that might be in there or patrol crafts around the harbour.
You can also be order to nearest shore and patrol it for some 30 miles length.
Or/and dependant on where you are. If you find a convoy that is in attack range of aircraft you are order to shadow it and send contact reports and then you might be able to se an airstrike ( for this i need to change airstrike probability for sendign a contact report.
U might not get a second order coz it wont be in for every month but there is a possibility that you might get one.
But i need some help here. Tips about what an second order can consist of, your goal.
And i would appreciate if someone could post some links to real war message, how it could look like. Not stories but just pure messages. Ive been looking around but i have hard to find some.

PS: I will not incoperate the enigma simulator in this coz its just to complicated even if its possible.
DS:
Il update here about the progress also:
1939: DONE
1940: Work in progress 10%
1941: Work in progress 0%
1942: Work in progress 0%
1943: Work in progress 0%
1944: Work in progress 0%
1945: Work in progress 0%
Ive put this on halt for now on. I got another work to do whit the damage textures.
Will continue whit this when iam done whit the other.
