Messages received concerning allied ship locations
 

i tried searching for this but i havent found an explaination yet. I have the GWX expansion installed.

Every now and again i get messages with coordinates which i presume are enemy ships. For example one just popped up:

1939/9/5

SSS..SSS..SSS..SSS.. 46.23N 14.59W
S.S ROYAL SCEPTRE

what are all the Ss for? :hmm:

I dont have a map with longitude/latitude coordinates do i? :hmm:

what do I do? sorry if this is a noobish question.

cheers

Welcome aboard!
Those messages are just atmosphere. SSS means being attacked by submatine.

However, you will get updates and these will pop on the map, these are actual positions you can act on.

Welcome aboard
 

Here is the requested converter you can use to find a grid square when given a Long & Lat position.

Hope this helps you out and anyone else that looks at this.:up:

thanks for the reply!

so basically those are british/american ships informing allies that they are being attacked by uboats? is there a way that i can tell where this is happening on the map?
