When I'm out on patrol, and there are all these messages going back and forth from command and other U-boats, as well as things like ships sending SOS's and such, are these real things that are actually happening? Or are they just for color?

I got one saying that I should be careful because there were Kriegsmarine surface units in a certain area. Does that mean if I went to that area I might see (for example) the Bismark on the high seas? Please tell me yes, that would be sweet.

Are historical naval actions represented, like say the battles of Narvik, or even non-historical ones?

Sometimes a message will talk about a certain area designated by a number instead of the two letter codes. How can I tell where that is referring to?
In GWX, you get tons of "immersion" messages. Many find them quite tedious and install the WB Mission Orders Lite mod. After you install that, you will only receive relevant messages.

Historical naval actions are represented in GWX. The GWX manual discusses the ones covered. Narvik is one of my favorites, though it is a bear to beat!. 5-6 destroyers in a narrow, shallow channel on the 10th... and then more destroyers, a battleship and planes on the 13th.

Have fun!
