It's cool to play a career with all the immersion messages once, they're an extremely accurate re-creation of nearly all the radio traffic that was sent during the war. Agreed its annoying when OKM keeps asking 5 times for a status report on a certain u-boat to no answer, but that's how it really happened. Unless the ship came crawling in a few days later with heavy damage it was one of the ways that they determined if ships had gotten sunk or not. Even with the full radio traffic it really tapers off in 1941 when it is figured out that the British have most likely broken the Enigma cyper (all thanks to Lemp and U-110 which handed it over all encryption materials on a silver platter) and radio traffic gets majorly reduced when ships can no longer find any convoys and all the supply ships get sunk in a single month.
