What does this radio message mean? 1/KG 40 A/C
 

I received a message "Broadcast beacons for 1/KG 40 A/C".

Whats this mean?

Dont know what it means, but it has nothing to do with you. :up:

Something about german aircrafts, i think...
I tried to google it:

IE:

Lg.Kdo Norwegen


1/KG z.b.V 108 Ju 52 see/He 59 + 60
Hommelvik

A/C probably means aircraft..

It's just a "colour" message to make you feel a little less lonely when on patrol.

The actual message would have been for a u-Boat to transmit a beacon signal for the 1st Kampfgeschwader and I assume the 40 A/C means 40 aircraft. I may be wrong on the last bit.

eye candy :lol:

It is code for #1 with cheese and go large on the fries...:shifty:. It is just eye and ear candy for some atmosphere of the game. I believe it does pertain to aircraft as stated earlier.

I'm still waiting to get a radio code like BZ 32V . . .WWII US Navy code for Good Job (BZ) and Dumbo, the sea plane (32V)

You shouldn't get that message; BZ at that time would be rendered Baker Zebra. Besides, it didn't mean "well done" until the first NATO codebook, issued four years after the war ended.

There has to be an equivilent . . . and with as many mines as I seem to find in The Channel I wouldnt be shocked to get it :doh:

For God's sake, what are you doing in the Channel ? That's one of the worst places where to be for a german sub...:down:

I have been known to post this on ocassion:

STAY AWAY FROM THE ENGLISH CHANNEL :yep:

Dont go there , you crazy ?
 

Read above !!

1./KG40 means Erster Gruppe (First Group)/KampfGeschwader 40 (A Geschwader would be roughly equal to a USAAF Bomber Wing or a RAF Group). 1./KG40 was formed 1.11.39 at Bremen with Fw 200C bombers and flew from June 1940 to March 1943 out of Bordeaux-Merignac. The KG was using He-111s and He-177s as well, up to 45 aircraft in all.

Hi and welcome CX
Great post as a first too :up:

That would be "Broadcast beacons for 1 Kampfgeschwader, 40 aircraft". Ein Kampfgeschwader was a dive-bomber unit, I think.
