Default New player for silent hunter 3

Hello you all
Can someone help me with this.
I am playing now silent hunter 3 and the mod GWX 3.0.
Some times in the game i get a message from bdu that writes like this
"convoy am 2376 heading east". Can anyone tell me what they mean by that, so i can go searching for the convoy.
AM refers to a place on the map so i think, but what means 2376
greetings Ger

First off, welcome aboard! And get ready for a grand adventure like nothing else you've experienced.

About your question: sort of bad news. Those radio messages are what's known as 'immersion'. They aren't reporting actual convoys that you could intercept, they are only there to make things feel more 'real'.

If it is there, there will be a marker show up on the map. There is an explanation of the grid system on the pull down map in the African continent area.
