SH3 messages - somebody hear my?

I have a question. During patrol U-boats sends lots of informations to BdU, and BdU to U-boats. It is possible to hear information sending to another U-boot from example BdU. Because sometimes i recieve information like : "U-xxxx raport status." or "2 MERCHANTS SUNK FOR 2700 TONS. 1 MERCHANTS CAPUTRED. AN 3181, U-38". This is a realistic?

i think it would depend on if the U-boat you overheard was operating on the same frequency band as you.

as far as whether or not this was something that happened in real life... i have no Idea.

I think it would be possible, since in the BdU archives there were notes on some subs occasionally not responding themselves but instead messages being relayed by other subs. I would think damaged antennas or poor transmitters may be the cause here.

U-Boars maintained listening watches on certain frequencies. So they would hear messages from U-boats to BDU and BDU to U-boats.

Of course, the allies listened too, once they cracked the Enigma codes, they knew exactly what the U boats were doing.

Radio messeges are like loose lips, they sink ships. The only tme i send a contact is on a convoy. Otherwise only God and my crew know where we are.....oh and the enemy as we sink em

Actually, the U-Boats has so call in almost every day. Donitz apparently didn't think the Allies could triangulate the boats.

The messages you receive are scripted in; they are messages that were sent in real life and are there only for immersion. There was another thread recently in which a player reported getting a message that his own sub had been sunk.
