I think that means that the convoy has been spotted with a submarine in its escort force. :hmm:

That means there is a wolf-pack attacking the convoy. They are very good at keeping the escorts occupied whilst you get on with attacking, that is if you are in range and can make it before the A.I wolf-pack boats are destroyed.

An A.I IXB part of a wolf-pack engages an escort


An A.I VIIC, same convoy

I love to close in on the alleged "wolfpacked" convoy only to find no wolves and all the DDs intact and one merchant afire...

My compliments to Kptlt.s Bernard....

Don't blame their 'Bernards' . . . it's rather rough on those U-boats, as they are stuck on the surface, cannot submerge and can only attack with their deck gun.
