...Or not. Depended of the information. Could be a ship/convoy sighted by another ship or boat, or intelligence information. In general, the commanders only received an approximate position of the contact . In TWoS you have a black mark appearing in the position of the sighted or informed via intelligence, contact (With contacts enabled). The text could have a direction. Or not. For example,.I received radio messages with "Convoy sighted", and the coordinates, and is all the information available. No direction, no speed.
