We have been working on that, and you might notice that you are not dropped out of TC every time someone sinks a sampan anymore - but again, we can improve on that. We do want TC to drop for "important" notices, like the beginning of the war, a nation's "status" change, or a base change, that sort of stuff. We'll do another "sort" on the data in the file, and see if we can't eliminate some more of the not-so-important listings from killing the TC...

Ahoy, propbeanie, ol' chap..
Yeah, as I said.. didn't want My comment to be taken as criticism or any thing of that nature.. just a general comment on it being a bit frustrating, being yanked out of TC... for a not so important flash traffic or however that 1 particular footnote message is classified.
As it goes, the.. as you mentioned here:
We do want TC to drop for "important" notices, like the beginning of the war, a nation's "status" change, or a base change, that sort of stuff.
That, I don't mind, as I (can only speak for Myself here... & not others.
That's for them to decide.) see that info, as being of importance & am alright with.
As for TC drop for contacts... hmm... would be interesting, if that could be done... especially where it would say.. pertain to a sub being known to be in that area & get a flash from HQ to say.. attack that... target. When that info was known to HQ, that is... reading up on all that the codebreakers went through, to get the info out that they did work out, made for interesting reading.
As for:

Just wanna take a moment & say it again.. all the hard work y'all put in on this.. I stand in awe, of it.. as I know that what I know from back in the day, doesn't come any where near what is involved nowadays... but, having tinkered a bit with coding for animation stuff, as well as infant days animation & coding for simple 8bit games & such... I know the joy & headache that can be involved with doing it... 1 simple slip up, or leaving out of some bit of coding in the long list of all that... & there you are, tearing your hair out, trying to figure out what went wrong, & having to tear back through it all to find out just what went wrong & why...
So, the long & short of it all.. I have a healthy dose of respect for modders & what they do...
so, from Me... a heart felt thanks for all you do, guys.
M. M., signing off...
