- - Do you always report a convoy? (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=143750)

I just had an incident on my 15th patrol, I was West of Okinawa when I was alerted to a single contact. Turned out to be a huge convoy, not a square marker on the map, but a huge rectangle. I tried to run around end, but the weather 15 meters would`nt allow me any headway. I was able to get a radio message off to ComPac, but was`nt able to catch up, and me with almost all my torps left. Puts:damn: Got 250 points renown for that one.

How do you know that you gain extra renown?

Open:
Data\Campaigns\Campaign\DynamicMiss\ContactReport 01\ContactReport 01.mis - for example - with a plain text editor like Notepad.

See the line:
RenownAwarded=250 in the [Objective 1] section.

But like I said before, I don't report them for historical reasons - not to mention you're giving your position away etc, etc.

Happy Hunting!

Thanks for your reply :) And your reasoning for not doing so is very sound :up: To be honest, if I found a convoy I'd get stuck in before worrying about reporting in ;)
