Receiving encoded radio messages

Kaleun_Saxi · 10-26-06, 01:43 AM

Ahoy Kaleuns,

I've got a question! I am on my third patrol in late 1939. I'm receiving several encoded messages from other subs that I can't read. Do I need any special devices installed on my sub to decode them? I think my sub surely has an enigma machine, and I've got a skilled radio man on duty - why doesn't he decode these messages.

Damn patrol, btw, went into Hartlepool port to sink docked merchants or cruisers - but the port was empty. Hurrah! Evaded the destroyers on patrol to find nothing in port.

Which mods are you using? There's no in game support for encrypted radio messages and most 'added' messages by various mods are simply for flavor, no actual game impact. Those messages might just be a way to make you feel part of the war rather than a lone sub.

I haven't modded, I am playing basic SHIII!

Never seen that before. Can you post an in game (ctrl + F11) screen capture of the message clipboard?

As soon as I am on duty again (that means as soon as I'm back home) I will fullfill your request!
