sending reports to BDU via radio message?

RMN · 03-14-07, 10:07 AM

what exactly is the procedure to send a contact report that indicates the position of a sighted convoy/ship/aircraft? ive tried marking the position of a convoy that ive sighted on the navigational map and sent a contact report and patrol report at the same time.after awhile, ive received a radio message from BDU stating "contact report received".is this the correct procedure to report to BDU? or is there another way?

yeah u sorta done it right. you need to have the conact in view on the map to get any support from anyone.

In GWX, the Luftwaffe will sometimes make a pleasant appearance after you've reported a contact's presence...Bombs away!!!!

I can't complain about the boys from the "Regia Aeronautica" (Italian Air Force ).

On my way back home in summer 1941 (1 Torp left) I ran into a C3 south of Sicily. Well, one Torp is nothing for a C3 so I reported the contact. Soon two Bredas showed up and bombed the C3. The good thing was: They couldn't sink him; he was burning and down to 1 knot.

My last torpedo sunk him and I received full credits and another 7,459 tons to the roster: "Mille grazie, mio camerati italiano!"

Cheers,
AndyW

The Luftwaffe have been paid a lot of Reich marks by me to bomb you on your next patrol. And they are looking forward to bombing you to the bottom of the sea.

You better hope the Allies get you first.
