Well thanks to reece i just learned this yesterday.

Go to your data folder, and locate your menu folder, open the file called "en_menu", it will open in "notepad" go to the format tab of notepad and disable "wordwrap" and scroll down to the line of text within the file which reads:

4196=Contact report received. Good work!
4197=Press the attack!
4198=Keep up the good work!
4199=Return to base!

Without editing any of the numbers or "=" signs you may change the text to read whatever you wish the reply of BDU to be.

I have modified my file so that it now reads: (do not include quotation marks)

4196=Contact report received. Your report is being forwarded to kriegsmarine units in your operational area. Attack targets when able, do not await reinforcements!
4197=Position report received. Submit a new report within twenty four hours. Unfortunately we have no contact reports relevant to your area of operations at this time to assist you in locating the enemy! We will forward you such information as it becomes available.
4198=Your report has been received and is being forwarded to the appropriate intelligence departments for analysis, Good Hunting!
4199=Report Received. Having expended your primary offensive weaponry, you may return to base or refit at the nearest resupply vessel at your discretion!

You can edit the messages to say whatever you want if you dont wish to use mine... but keep in mind

4196=(this message should be the reply to a contact report which you have sent)

4197=(this message should be the reply to a status report that indicates you have not yet sunk any targets)

4198=(this message should be the reply to a status report that indicates you HAVE sunk at least one target)

4199=(this message should be the reply to a status report which indicates you are out of torpedoes)
