Send contact report

teg916 · 08-30-09, 11:15 PM

I am playing sh3 with fax 3.0. Is there a reason the send contact report doesn't seem to do anything? I try to push it with contacts in sight and I have tried with no contacts in sight.

As far as I know it only works with groups of 3/4+ ships and when you are at least within 600km of a german base.
They will send the Luttwaffe....then a group of DD with Torpedo Boats

Heh yeah, the only time I've ever got a reply from BDU is reporting a convoy via the K key clipboard screen. I've never had a reply using the radio man, send contact report option.

Edit - Jeremy Clarkson avatar, woo!
Edit - just to add, I typo'd 'K key' instead of 'M key' in this post. Explained below :P I know what you mean now Firewall heheh.

Ok maybe that is why, I am still playing early in the war and I haven't tried to report a big convoy yet.

Thanks
