This is a major flaw in SH3. Single ships can not be reported at all and convoys can only be reported when they are very close. I don't know how close one needs to be, but someone once said that you need to have three ships in visible range. Most of the time the difficulties of sending contact reports means, that if I want to send a contact report I have to surface inside the enemy's radar range and possibly visible to them. A couple of times I have surfaced, hit send report as soon as it becomes an option, and then dived back immediately and haven't been noticed. The range to the nearest escorts has been something like five to six kilometers (in a visibility of 9 kilometers). I would like to see an air attack on the convoy, but most of the time I just haven't reported the convoy, because of the risk of getting spotted.
