Default report contacts

Do a convoy report increase your final renow? just wondering because spot a convoy and have time to report it without been spotted is not so easy (for me)

If in range; air support could attack the contact. More importantly it broadcasts your position to the whole world.

It is kinda cool to witness an air attack though, if you stick around long enough, and the air attack ever shows up that is.

I'm currently playing in 1940, and I have to pretend I don't know that, but I still send in contact reports before I attack.

I know I should too but just can't bring myself to do that yet.
