Few Questions on Refit and convoy contacts
 
.... . .-.. .-.. --- / ... .- .-.. - -.-- / --- -. . ...(Hello Salty Ones:))

Quick question or two.

Why does it take so long to get a call for refit? I am like cruising the Atlantic forever now without any ammo or torpedoes whatsoever.

and

Why am I not able to send convoy conacts even after identifying every ship of the convoy through the UZO. Neither by using the captains log or the radioman?


Salty Greetings,

Jax:arrgh!:

Dont wait to be called for refit. Just head back and end patrol. Or head to a friendly base and pick refit.

To send contact report - you must be able to see the contact and be on the surface.

Hey Trevally,

Using the UZO actualy means you are on the surface and see the contact. and I must add I was at a mere 3000 m from the convoy so I don't think that is an issue either....
Any other idea's?

greetings...

It was a friendly convoy :O:


Only other condition is that it must be 2 hours after your last contact report.

laughs,

no absolutely not....not friendly at all and since i found it in broad daylight reported it at 11:30 or something after a periscope check and a status report. I had to follow it laterely for the rest of the day to manoeuvre my boat in the night on the surface at the said distance. So, I was at 3000m, on the surface, and my last report was hours before. Must be a glitch again...never mind, I'll refit and find another. Thanks for the help anyway!:up:
Keep them Brits behind them Binoculars bro!
