Yeah but one would imagine they'd like to know about any changes of course or speed of the Convoy. To me, when I spot a convoy, getting a contact report off is something of a hassle. Sometimes it works, sometimes I have to wait a while for it to work and sometimes not at all. (I'm talking about the Contact Report actually showing up in the message log.)
I've found best results if I'm shadowing the convoy from astern, and it also works to send updates whenever the convoy changes course... sometimes.
I've actually had a FW 200 attack a convoy I radioed in off the northern coast of Norway, it attacked about 1 hour after I sent the report, but this is quite a while back - so what mod I was running at that time I'm not sure. (It wasnt GW as I'm currently running tough. )
