Just kidding Daniel,
lately the "are you by any chance working for ...?" phrase, in all its variation, has become the ubiquitous answer to someone who is proposing a good product/service here in the forum

Do you still have the file I sent you a while back? Can you redo it in google documents format?

I think so. We don't really need such a complex spreadsheet for storing those data anyway. As far as we can set a basic formatting and add new rows/columns if required, any format is good. In case we need for more advanced options, we can always copy/paste the text in a traditional spreadsheet application

Good stuff
I think that escort mission is listed in my compendum for OHII. Scripting those messages would be a nice addition if Trevally will ever implement this sort of missions.

but I can be helpful in any other case

Not mutch historical information to colect Volodya: we just need to copy/paste coordinates from uboat.net to a spreadsheet, and to interpolate missing coordinated, if required. Boring task, I got to admit

Recording the number of torpedoes onboard at the beginning of each patrol (depending on U-boat models and other special ammo, like mines, eventually carried), and the cumulative number of ships sunk for each date is another idea I had for determining if each boat is available for support or not, but this information is also easily accesible from the same website, or from U-historia.com for the ones who understand a bit of Spanish. That's all
