Has anyone ever actually witnessed German warships/planes attacking vessels that you reported?
The only example of German AI (airplanes) doing this in a patrol was when I was positioning myself to attack a merchant vessel and suddenly my WO is telling me aircraft were spotted. I was well out of the range of any planes from England (it was 1939) so I gambled they where friendly and remained surfaced (later I found out if they are NME a/c the sim gives you options on how to react).
I watched as the Luftwaffe pilot proceeded to miss the vessel completely, sending it into a defensive pattern that screw up my attack.
I'm guessing you would have to track the vessel(s) for a period of time and send multiple reports. War year, time and place would probably factor into the equation as well.
Has anyone ever tried it?
