A bit of an old thread here, but anyways I was so excited that I decided to dig this up from the grave.
I just got the order to act as a contact keeper

This is the first time since Aces of the Deep was high tech out of the box that I get that kind of radio message. Now I'm just hoping that I can keep the contact for as long as is needed. The sun is just beginning to rise, the weather is perfect, it's March 1941.
BE57 353 degrees 6 knots. A large convoy with at least 2 Black Swans, a Flower corvette and a cruiser of some sorts. It would be just so sweet to have a wolfpack have a go at it
Can I keep the contact, when do I have the actual playing time to do the low TC shadowing, how many working save games made 16 km from a large convoy do I need before the pack is ready, how is this new-to-me NYGM different from GWX in a shadowing situation, how good a visual contact do I have to have to make the reports, even if I manage to send good reports, does the pack get there - many questions in my mind and no answers until I play the game and see how it goes.
Wish me luck! If I get to the point where the pack attacks I'll try to get some screenshots about it. (Even taking those is a bit of an unknown as I'm now playing SH3 in windowed mode and I guess that changes how screenshots need to be taken...)
Thanks to H.sie anyways, regardless if I manage to keep the contact or not
