I send reports sometimes, and have gotten messages saying the troop transports are priority; to sink the freighters because they think they're carrying vital supplies; or, if i'm out of torpedos, they say they'll send other assets to intercept and to RTB at my discretion.
I've only ever received the RTB message after radioing in a contact report when I had no torps left.
What I'd really like is a mod that didn't lie to me. If they say they're sending other assets to intercept, then they damned well should. I've tailed some of the convoys for a while but I've only once seen one get attacked.
I think this is reasonably realistic; the one which got attacked was near allied territory, while the others were well within enemy territory. But it would be nice if they didn't lie. It would also make the effort (and risk) it takes in order to send a contact report more worthwhile if you knew it would actually have an effect.
