lo fellow kaleuns

remember reading a post about the messages recieved in gwx relating to other u-boats being sunk....something like..."we regret to inform that u-so and so has been sunk....bdu"
there was talk of removing this as it wasnt accurate historically and poor for moral..

after reading a couple of books ( during tc on long trips) u-boats did recieve these messages....but as intercepts from other boats...contacting bdu.

something like this " Attacked by aircraft. unable to dive. u-59"
or " attacked by destroyer. damages..sinking. u-49"
also "schnorkel defect..bombed..sinking..62n 01e u-187"
just thought if the dev guys were going to remove the original messages from bdu...then they could replace them with this sort of thing.

just a thought to the gwx team..i know they must have a thousand harder problems to be dealing with but just a thought

cheers
