You may have radioed you sighted a convoy and then got the order to sink Escorts. I think what is suppose to happen is the convoy gets attacked by allied Task Force aircraft if they are in the area, after you sink the Escorts.
I never radio when I spot a convoy because I don't think it is realistic for the 'Silent Service' USN.... plus it may give away my position. I will radio for a new objective when I need to and I think it is safe.
The Germans radioed everything so they could report convoys and coordinate their wolfpacks. Although the US used them occasionally, most of the patrols were single boats in an assigned area/sector.
Happy Hunting!
