I think there is some confusion. The 'send contact report' (Fuehlungsmeldung senden) button should only work when you have contact with the enemy (I think you have to lock on three ships).
Then there is also a button in the radio operator's menu. Stiebler, do you mean this button? Cheers, LGN1 |

Maybe I should read the sh3 manual before programming

But don't take it too serious as you can have trouble with the last two messages

In the radio operator section of commands_*.cfg is a report_nearest_radio_contact entry. Maybe the button is for reporting DF contacts; a feature that seems to be not fully implemented/finished (DF contacts are also mentioned in sensors.cfg)

There seems to be some confusion here about the contact reports.
If you click on the radio button from the cluster of six at the bottom of the left map screen (and other screens), then click on the left-most button ("Report") of the group of three, there appear three final buttons in mid-screen. You can see their functions by hovering the mouse over them. From left to right: a) "Report Contacts"/"Kontakte melden"/ 2905*. b) "Send contact report"/"Fuhlungsmeldung schicken"/ 2906*. c) "Send Patrol report"/"Feindtfahrtbericht schicken"/2908* [* = values in en/de_menu.txt] You click on (b) to announce contact with the enemy. You click on (c) to send a status report. But (a) does... what? That is the button I wish to use for a 'desire to surrender'. [Edit: Just seen this post crossed with that of LGN1.] Stiebler.

It does work, but not always. When I click it I sometimes get a message like:
"Nearest radio contact at bearing XXX, range xxx km!". But still I don't get what's the use of it... |

In any case, I guess that you would detect a convoy previously with hydrophones or radar detector than with D/F
