send contact report???

maverick76 · 09-15-08, 02:59 AM

I cannot send a contact report when i have a contact..the button does not react and even when i am giving orders to the radioman i will not send.

I dont have problems with sending a status report.

It is 1940 and type boat: IXb. U-105

Anyone knows what i am doing wrong??

thanx

I believe there must be at least three hostile targets visible to your watch crew and inside a certain range. Until you hear "Ship spotted" you won't be able to send. Getting a visual on them through the UZO isn't sufficient. You also have to be surfaced.

Afaik there must be 2 hrs between the convoy seighted msgs (which includes the AI convoy msgs as well) to avoid the exploit to get an exact heading and speed of it by creating and reading those msgs too often.

You should be surfaced and within visual (naked eye) range of the contact.

if you click on your radio man and instruct him to send the report instead of doing so yourself.... he will send a report no matter how many ships appear.
