Frankly I would rather take the targets for myself rather than handing them to the AI (if I have any torps left.) In the case you stated, you're not giving up much by reporting in, but you might get docked for not fulfilling the target assignment. Always a risk.

That's a cool thing in the game, if an Allied task force will come engage an Axis convoy if you report it and they are within range. I hope to see that at least once, and hopefully lend my support and get to watch some of the fireworks of a multi-ship naval battle at the same time. Very cool game to have that possiblity in there!

And you mentioned you MIGHT get docked for not fulfilling the target assignment, but I am wondering what would happen for sure and what the formula is for whether or not you'd get points docked, hmmm.
