[REQ] harbour escort

According to the manual one should be able to radio for escorts near German harbours. It's not in the game just as a load of other "promised" features that got dumped.

HAH! In sh-3 in was the exact same way ? When it just came out it even had the option to call for one by the radio guy! But it didt work and evatually it was modded in.

To be honest its insane that they have promised this feature repeatedly over 3 titles and never once fully delivered it.

Whats funny is that we even expect it to work!

PS: An idea for the harbour escorts is if they had something to distingish them as such, like a sort of flashing caution light or they made a siren type sound or bull-horn...or something.

ohh the feature is in there all right... and it works it works like *****

go close to an escort and send a contact report.. about 25% of the time, one will start to follow you all the way to whereever your patrol is and most likely run aground and crash.. and... wait for it... it works on enemy escorts too!!! i was able to get an entire enemy task force to escort me LOLOL, they follow at a fixed point say 10 km or 4 km away and follow your every move

LOL, so it's the contact reports that triggers the "ghost" destroyers that follow me from time to time.

love to be met by an old smokin tugboat or trawler. old harbour work boats fitted with flak guns.
[what were they called R-boats, or Raum boats????]

talking of that, itd be great to have nets and minefields in the game.
