Yep seen this convoy about Oct-Nov 1939

There are some fat English Frieghters in amongst it

Unfortunatly for me had to save and it crashed next load

Found it again on another save then then lost it in bad weather

Damn

That's prolly them then, yes. Especially if they were headed NNW or thereabouts. Been shadowing them all day going for a second 'look-see' of the outer columns.

Two noteworthy things to point out about this contact:

1) Currently I'm surfaced, around 0130 hours much later that day. I've so far been inundated with 'Ship spotted!' messages (I've counted 17 so far). Yet I still can't seem to send a contact report. It says I've sent one, but it doesn't appear in my message transcripts logs.

2) Three times during the day I got spotted shadowing this. I was around 15 km when they spotted me, and they dispatched a destroyer to come out and harass me. Said destroyer(s) started opening fire at a range around 13 klicks!! With some coming quite close, too! Very sweet!! Just goes to show you how powerful their targeting directors were, especially when the weather is dead calm and perfectly clear.
