Thx :up:

How can I get more Radio messages sent to me??? The Radar is of no use most of the time.

More Radio Messages?
 

The game is pretty good at creating targest for you to sink. More so than probably in reality. Ive been cruising around in the middle of the war, & am amazed that lone merchants have the audacity to make a run for it unescorted with me out here.

One thing not particularly advertised is Uboats could recve messages from the fatherland while submerged to my experimentation of 20 meters. Below 20 meters you dont get contact reports.

Doentiz had a powerful ground based transmitter tweaked to low frequency in the same theory as the Extremely Low Frequency ('Elf' transmitters') used to communicate with modern submarines today.

You however must surface to transmit. You can only recve while submerged.

So Uboats would make contact reports, and Doenitz would retransmit them out on his low frequency transmitter making those red sighting reports appear on your map.

Which brings up another point, I disagree that turning off these contact reports in the game setting makes the sim more realistic. To the contrary, it makes the sim more artificially difficult only relying on your own sensors to find shipping.

Ping Jockey, what mods are you using? The supermods all use different forms of the 20/20 mod, which greatly reduced the number of lone ships and also the number of reports about them.

Manock, I agree that having no contacts is less real than having some. I use the above-mentioned 20/20 mod. It reduces contacts greatly, but I still run into more than enough.

Yeah once you know the routes and lanes contact reports become redundant. Although just sitting in the midst of the shipping lanes does get boring after a while and it is fun chasing a large convoy contact report out in the middle of nowhere.

Radar, for what is it good for?

:hmm:

To get yourself bombed?

-RC-

Dang it Karl, I wanted to do that! You beat me too it.

:doh:
