The convoy you lost contact with will show another report when its time is due - as written in the Rnd files

Not sure what you mean by circles on the map
Screenshot ?
Thanks for the answer.

Ad 3. No, I can hear the warship AND the depth charges being thrown to water very accurately, so it's obviously not my engine.

Ad 13. My map contacts are not updated as I play 100% realism. They appear only once, when contact reported by BdU, and stay still, untill faded after some time. But this time there were two circled (that I didn't draw myself) around the two reported contact icons, drawed with 'dotted line' (more precisely it was not dotted but 'lined line', like: --- --- --- ---).

13) Haven't encountered the circles. Convoys and other targets will drop off at a certain range. Depends if you hit a "trigger" within the program. Also, SH3 will randomize everytime you reload...so a convoy may not be there the next time you start and proceed with the saved game.
Ad 5. No... My boat wasn't taking any damage (no reports and I have "hull integrity" message on and it still says "100%"). I can dive as deep as 250m without taking damage in my IXB type, but it starts falling down slowly as soon as it reaches 170m.

Ad 8. No, fuel reserve is indicated with another slide-thing, certainly not the red one.

Ad 13. I made whole the patrol without reloind game once. I know that convoys change their course (usually when I start plotting it on my map ), but the escorts alwayes followed them. The strange things are this time: the miraculous circles and the escorts that stood in place for quite a long time.

Thanka for answers again.

No...on #5...you don't need to have damage to take on water at those kind of depths. Have any idea what kind of pressure you're dealing with? It's measured in TONS PER SQUARE INCH!.
If this were the real deal...a hole the size of a pin would create a water jet that could cut a man in half if he were to walk through the stream. Trust me when I tell you...you're taking on water!
