Thanks! Sorry for the side step. Love this mod! Keep up the fantastic work Trevally!

I do not think so
When we send contact report the game checks to see if there are any airbases within range of the report. If so, a plane or two may be sent to attack - I have seen this many times.
I have also seen a DD sent to attack - But iI do not know why.
It could be that that DD was within its 20km attack radius anyway.
Or it could be the same as the plane - a base (navel) was within distance to send the DD
If that is the case - then hidden navel bases (not sure if they can be hidden) could be set mid atlantic - then we could attach a gen node the produces wolfpacks. Perhaps these could be triggered the same as planes. I am not sure if this is possible.
Some time ago I was looking into something similar with TDW and I could not get the wolfpack gens to work at the time - Now I do know how to make them work - so perhaps someday this task could be looked at agian
