Contact Report option for Radoman. Patrol Report always gets a response.

Not Contact Report. It was asked and posted along time back it, was another thing not finished by the Devs.

What response do you wish, you may of course a confirmation later by Bdu...

Can you show us how many responses you've gotten in game ticking "Contact Report" ?

Imageshack,Photobucket ect please.

[Gargamel]

IF i can get one off, I almost always get a response.

But it has always been along the lines of "Contact noted, no other assets available, do not hesitate to attack".

[Gerald]

It can be arranged, a bit later in the day, if you mean "only" confirmation, it usually comes when you've been at it a few hours in real time,btw what do you mean how many,:o I always get confirmation, but it will not directly after you have sent, rather, after you have sunk, at best,a few ships....

No No You misunderstand. I sent the "Contact Report" on a button that has been reported by members that it doesn't work because... DEVS... didn't finish it.

I reported the convoy I saw and time and Grid.

NOT... ships I sunk yet. Like on Patrol Report.

[Gargamel]

Yeah, I think GWX fixed it, but it still doesnt really do anything good.

[Gerald]

Ok! Where do you want to see ONLY the confirmation appears, which you get to go back on BDU, right?

[FIREWALL]

OK Vendor... I think there's a language problem.

I'll put it this way. It's Rare. It's been posted that the UBISOFT DEVELOPERS DIDN'T FINISH THIS OPTION.
AND 1 IN 100 TIMES IT WORKS.

99 out of 100 it doesn't.

If you play 10% realism.

99 out of 100 it doesn't. We have no language barrier here, I play with 97% and I always get back to what I sent, ALWAYS, :know:

Patrol Reports yes... Not Contact Reports.

[Gerald]

Oh yes, just like this, Not Contact Reports, be sure of that, maybe you have just had some bad luck, which means it has not worked out well, right then, :yep:

When the hardcore SH3 and GWX peeps get done with Xmas and read this thread closely and see the picture they'l,l explain better than me what you don't understand and how RARE it is.

Merry Xmas. :salute:

[Gerald]

It's in the stars, but are not rare, Have a Merry Christmas you also, :salute:

Sorry... Look at the bottom of screenshot. Explains a little better.

[Gerald]

Sorry... Look at the bottom of screenshot. Explains a little better. Now I saw what is the bottom, and know the answer to the question, sorry I have not quoted it directly, :06:

[FIREWALL]

I knew there was a misunderstander somewhere Vendor. I know your a good guy. :up:

Next time your WO says "Ship Spotted" tick RO icon and tick, middle option, "Contact Report" and you'll see nothing happens.

I read in an old post that, the WO has to say "Ship Spotted" 3 times then, you hit "Contact Report" and it might work.

And then you'll have a record of it like in my screenshot.

[Gerald]

Quite right, :DL

[FIREWALL]

But, It doesn't work 99 out of 100 times. :DL

[Gerald]

I've probably been drinking too much root beer in response to 99, vs 100, :haha:

[GoldenRivet]

the situation as i understand it to be:

The radioman has two options that you can choose

1. Send Patrol Report

2. Send Contact Report

PATROL REPORT - is telling BDU how many ships you have sunk.

CONTACT REPORT - is reporting that you see / have visual contact with a ship, or a group of ships.

two totally different things.

the contact report as i understand it, in the original release did nothing.

i think GWX fixed that... you should receive a radio message within a couple of in game hours stating "All other assets otherwise occupied, do not wait for assistance, initiate attack." or something to that effect.

HOWEVER

the send contact report button on the clip board appears to only work when there is a convoy being reported NOT single ships or groups of 2 or 3 ships.

HOWEVER PART DEUX

you can select the radioman and send a contact through him for ANY ship you wish to report no matter how great or how few the number of ships

[Gerald]

GR! There was a detailed explanation that you delivered , which must be celebrated with more root beer, :DL

[Gargamel]

Contact reports work on groups (Convoys and Task Forces), not individual ships, as GR mentions.

I gave up long ago trying to send CR's for individual ships, as nothing gets sent. But on first contact with a Convoy, I'll send one, and within a bit, I'll get a hopeless reply from BDU.

I spent a many career trying to figure that out. Well, 3 actually.

And I play at 99% realism. And I always will, regardless of the settings.

[Gerald]

A purely hypothetical question, the vessels may spontaneously on the horizon, which may be perceived as more, and then you have played all day, so "maybe your 'eyes are cloudy saltwater resulting in limited field of vision, but I have been successful to get all contact report, even when only a few ships have disturbed my sleep in the bed of the crew, :cool:

[FIREWALL]

Open your presents before I "knonk you" on the Knoggon. :haha::haha::haha:

[FIREWALL]
