Ok just to clarify
Messages you recieve from Bdu that slow you to TC1 concerning sinkings and convoys are historical
You will notice they come from and are addressed to Uboat numbers - as they are real messages from WW2
Messages that concern operations starting are indeed happening then as are reports of new bases and port losses

CONTACT REPORTS you get are just that and will indeed be there

The reason the messages have XXxxxx format is that is how they were sent
The Kreigsmarine divided each individual square into a further 9 so they had a much better idea of exactly were the uboat was


IE BE67 is a huge square ( as they all are ) - divide that up by a further 9 squares inside and it makes each grid a lot smaller to get better positioning
