Do TWoS render historical convoys? I am talking about ones reported by BdU in radio messages like these


That one features two battleships and battlecruiser in escort, as well as lots of troop transports, very valuable target and I had time to catch it.
I patrolled AM02-AM52 area from 10th to 17th.. Nothing. Reloaded, waited entire week mostly submerged in AM53. Nothing. Reloaded, went to Filth of Clyde itself and spent three days there from 15th to 17th on bottom - nothing at all. I literally raided Glasgow, Greenock and Clyde at once on the day when BdU told the troops are disembarding in Britain, guess what? Nothing there.
Was it there or it's just me being bad listener?

Should I expect any of other messages to be true and try to find other valuable targets reported in their messages and "keep the good work" or these radio convoy reports are just flavor noise which doesn't differ from your regular "be more aggressive" bull as much?

These messages are for game immersion only and no contacts will spawn that are directly related to these messages, BUT: Independant from these messages, historical actions are simulated in the campaign - at least the most important ones - with the corrisponding warships or convoys spawning in the world, yes.

Important:
Only messages directly sent to YOU, sometimes only found in your Captain's Log, like convoy reports or mission orders, are really important and you can always expect to see the related assets in the world. Such messages can have cyan or red color to denote their importance - and will always contain your exact submarine ID or U-021.


Happy hunting and welcome to Subsim!
