maybe it was being shadowed by a wolfpack

The stock icons are:

Small/Large Square: Merchant/Convoy
Small/(large) Diamond: Warship/TaskForce (or is the TF icon large square too?)
Circle: Submarine
Triangle: Airplane

Well, that explains that now does'nt it?

Definitive - a circled convoy is being shadowed by a wolf pack.

The round ones mean the position report is coming from a uboat
No one said it was German :rotfl:

I bet it was because Bernard switched sides and decided the best way to hide convoys from u-boats was to broadcast their positions on the German frequencies.

That would explain why the only circle convoy I have found so far had several ships already on fire when I first encountered them I guess.

I read another thread about this with a pic of the circle convoy. It too had damaged ships already so it probably is as said previously a "simulated" wolfpack sighting.
