What to think of this?

I just received a weird radiosignal:

19:45 Radio Message
From: Open Freq.
To: U-52

1939/09/03
SSS_ SSS_ SSS_ 56.44N, 14.05W

S.S. ATHENIA

That's the passenger liner that was first struck in the war right?
Any chance to get up there and save some survivors?

Yep. You've just witnessed good ol' Kaleun Lemp's work. Unfortunately, all the radio traffic that GW adds is just eye candy. All the reported sinkings and convoys aren't really there.

How awesome would that be if they were though, eh?

I like how they give you information that a real kaluen would know but you have no clue what it even is. Like prize law.

Greyco · 10-10-06, 09:01 AM

Ah too bad I was looking forward to a visit...
And shame that the reports on convoys aren't true neither...
So you don't get to see a wolfpack in action then?

Correct. And there's SH3's most glaring weakness: No wolfpacks. To me, a U-boat game without wolfpacks is just as bad as if they had left out torpedos, or periscopes.

Ah well, what are ya gonna do, eh?

Thanks to Sergbuto's wonderful mod, NYGM 2.2 includes wolfpacks!

Got to be part of one myself once. Thought some sneaky destroyer was closing on me, but it turned out to be another u-boot!

I hope GWX will include Wolfpacks...

cant wait for it.

but indeed the messages are really nice in GW. it gives a feeling ur not alone. but I really hope that GWX will have some Wolfpacks and maybe the chance that you meet in the middle of nowhere an friendly sub on patrol
