the situation as i understand it to be:
The radioman has two options that you can choose
1. Send Patrol Report
2. Send Contact Report
PATROL REPORT - is telling BDU how many ships you have sunk.
CONTACT REPORT - is reporting that you see / have visual contact with a ship, or a group of ships.
two totally different things.
the contact report as i understand it, in the original release did nothing.
i think GWX fixed that... you should receive a radio message within a couple of in game hours stating "All other assets otherwise occupied, do not wait for assistance, initiate attack." or something to that effect.
HOWEVER
the send contact report button on the clip board appears to only work when there is a convoy being reported NOT single ships or groups of 2 or 3 ships.
HOWEVER PART DEUX
you can select the radioman and send a contact through him for ANY ship you wish to report no matter how great or how few the number of ships
