I was wondering about this, too. I think I read in another thread where someone said they'd reported an convoy/taskforce and were heading away when suddenly the ships started exploding seemingly by themselves. Afterwards, they said they actually got credit for the kills. Maybe that was the air strike?
I've only managed to 'report' a task force once so far, it was group of 6 small passenger carriers escorted by three heavy cruisers and five destroyers. I surfaced just enough to make the report and luckily wasn't spotted. A short time later COMSUBPAC radioed back saying the transports might be carrying reinforcements for nearby garrison and that I should attack them as a 'priority target'. It added a new objective for me to take out a transport -- I managed to take one out along with one of the heavy cruisers & that completed the objective.
Has anyone else ever seen anything interesting/useful come of reporting task forces? I'd be particularly interested if anyone's actually seen the 'air strike' happen, and can confirm getting credit for the kills?
