Status reports don't have a time limitation do they? I mean we can send them anytime correct?  |
I think I've never sent one
...but so far there was little point in doing it, or at least I guess so. Anyway, looking in menu.txt I've found this row:

My point is, how would the soccurring subs know our new coordinates, if we didn't report them via radio?
Imo, using the status report button for making BdU aware of our changed position, would have the double advantage to put to use an already existing but hardly used game feature, and to add some extra realism to the whole radio reinforcement stuff, making it a bit trickier too
