I do not know if this has ever been addressed yet, but how about distress calls from torpedoed/shelled ships? Possible, or not?

I remember when reading about Bernard Rogge and Atlantis, there was frequent mention of targeting the ship's radio room to prevent distess signals.
I think that it would be nice to at least occasionally receive a report from the radio operator that "Enemy is transmitting distress signal, HerrKaleun!".
Gives me another reason to use my deck gun!

I've always assumed that my victims were sending distess calls, since destroyers or aircraft show up soon after, but I think actually having distress calls in the game would be great for immersion.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but if I remember correctly, I think that all enemy ships and planes do send messages when they identify you (that of course applies for the SSS signals as well). Hopefully someone who has more information will come along and confirms or deny this.
