I'm trying to find the messages in AOD as they're much more "personal"/directed at the player themselves vs. the generic war news messages which no Commander would have received in the SH3 Commander form anyway.
Unfortunately, the AOD messages may need a hex editor to deal with them.

Hi John I did radio messages in Steel Sharks GWX Campaign when i had 40 plus convoys in Scripted leyer i would run the mission editor and when a convoy reached the rockall banks grid AM1768 I would fill in a printed spreadsheet
with convoy date time then write the message image below from new Steel sharks LSH2020 Campaign ive been a bit busy


Re Radio Messages date time date time (100=% chance of radio message sent message length 20mins so message start time 1809 finish time 1829 @From@^recipient^Message .................................................. .................................................. ......................
the reason you have date and time twice is that if the radio message posted at 2358 would finish at 0018 the next day

I was actually meaning the messages in the screen while you're waiting for a patrol to load.
Instead of the worldwide war news as is in Commander now which I don't care for, replacing them with the more relevant AOD messages.
I.e., in late summer 1942 AOD has a pre-patrol message along the lines of "The Americans have become more professional and dangerous in their ASW tactics since Drumbeat. Be alert for this."
Or in the summer of 1942 a message like "If you find yourself low on fuel, contact BdU as there may be assistance available to extend your patrol" when the u-tankers started showing up.
Numerous other examples of course with the point being much more relevance to a skipper actually going on patrol vs. the war news in Commander.
But the AOD messages appear to be hard coded. :wah:
