Actually, If you pop open the map that comes with SH III in the DVD case, it has the longitude latitude lines on it. I've followed those radio messages to their coordinates when they were nearby and found exactly what they are describing on several occasions. I think there's more to them than just eye candy.
Congrats on that patrol !! Sounds like you had a stunning one ! I've never come close to that !!
Could you give one or two examples ? :hmm:

Okay..... I got a message stating that *Insert ship name here because I don't remember the name* was seen at such and such coordinates... and it gave a longitude and latitude.. I happend to be near there and headed in that direction. When I got there.. there was nothing so I headed in the ships reported direction and lo and behold.. there it was. I sunk it.. it showed up as the ship from the report.
There have been other times when task forces were reported or single ships were reported in this manner that seemed to help me zero in on targets as well.
I havn't had this happen recently cuz I'm been on a 1x mission and I'm nowhere near the Atlantic yet
I'll start a new career and go out again when I get time and see if I get any reports near me so I can duplicate the results.
Prior to these encounters, I had just assumed that the map and the messages were eye candy.. but now I'm not so sure.
