I had nothing to do with it; didn't call it in, etc. Completely independent actions. I was hundreds of mile to the south, on a return trip to St. Nazaire.

Saw the radio messages from the involved subs, etc.

Nice feature; I didn't know that AI radio reports existed. In fact, I rarely get to the stage of the war where wolfpacks are common because I die pretty early. Nonetheless, AOD is one of those games where the game defeats you fair and square in my opinion - it makes your realize why even many good U-Boat crews failed to return.

Another nice feature I learned about - if you return to base around April-May 1945, the pre-rendered port background is bombed out from air raids. And IIRC the band does not play for you. Again, great attention to detail.
