This mod would be A must have item. What A fix! (Encouragement)

don't look at me ..lol--i aint going thru all the various mods available editing them all to use this system of contact reports--quite apart from the immense amount of work needed --permissions to get and objections to negotiate etc etc---

i'm going to add it to my own campaign (which is more or less stock)
and let the other guys decide on the merits of it either way--which is why i posted it as a viable suggestion--these days SH3 modding is way too polarised for any one to just add something to the stock campaign and post it---:rotfl:

sides you've missed the point a little bit--you would get the sub icon on the map--and the report as with any other opportunty contact report--
the issue really is that you could greatly increase your contact report range because ALL contacts would be being made by friendly subs--
the increase in frequency and range of these reports will allow the intelligent player to build a picture of convoy routes without giving them exact and 100% reliable convoy positions--

whilst at the same time giving much greater immersion/realism/gameplay because you have the ultra realistic situation of relying entirely on friendly subs for all your convoy information --and these subs will be REAL

it's a very nice soloution to quite a few other issues as well--
ease of convoy location
high tonnage results
too much information on the map not enough in your imagination etc etc--
