Told not to attack convoy??
 

I have been patrolling BE55,it is where I find the most tonnage to sink,so I usually pick this spot,but I surfaced to charge bats and got a message,to U67 convoy in BE55 is not to be attacked,we think it is a decoy convoy and could be a trap..Something along these lines.I am in U67 and BE55,is this just coincidence?
I rarelly see a convoy going through there,mostly single or two in a small convoy,mostly tankers and troop ships.
I found it interesting,it was like I was getting an order,it gave it a more realistic feel:D

Radio messages are usually only to add some more realism in SH3.
You have any mods instaled?
Could be only only coincidence, 'cause once I got a message that my uboot was lost.

Probably done for realism. Read recently that the Allies did in fact deploy decoy convoys in the Atlantic to entice u-boats to attack with the aim of trapping and sinking them.

Jepp, that´s right ! Another trap like the Q-Ships in WW1.

Yep, those things happen. During my last patrol I received a message from myself to myself telling me that I'm shadowing a convoy regardless of not having seen a single ship for ages :lol:

So yeah, those messages are for immersion and realism only...

Wow very cool,I thought the new GWX might have thrown a curve ball and didnt tell anyone:rotfl:
It was totally bone chilling,I thought BDU was actually giving me an order,had to look over my shoulder:rotfl:

thanks guys:up:

I usually ignore big targets in route to my patrol grid, except if the target is very valuable, like big ships or warships.

Me too,id rather get to my destination,there is always loners out there waiting for a torpedo:D
