You will still see a lot of messages at certain times, particularly if you are out when hostilities start - obviously there is a lot of info coming out from BdU during that time period.

But generally speaking... you will probably get to the point where you long for a radio message just to break up the monotony.

Precisely...the fact is Bdu often sent radio messages and kept a strict control on their U-boats movements.

Which is why I send in a position/weather report every day at the same time. Sick bugga, ain't I?

Glad you're happy with it...

It sure helps cut down on all the unnecessary chatter and leaves you more time for the important work - like sinking those big fat merchants!

In the game I just send a status report. On paper, and recorded into my logs, I record the 4-digit grid location (obtained by reducing the map to match the little grid map in the pull-down chart in GWX Nav Map view), my current course and speed, and then I take the Wind Speed from the WO and use a six-sided die to randomize it a little, then multiply it by the seasonal weather difference in SH3 Commander, and then write it all down.

With Commander's writable log function it appears in my SH3 logs.

I like most of the radio messages in SH3, but when I get one from a U-boat that goes "Aircraft, bombed, sink-" I think "oh boy, here we go..." And this only gets more and more common as the war continues. Does BdU really think that transmission will end with anything besides "ing"? Maybe "Aircraft, bombed, sink in the galley is really starting to smell bad. Recommend other Kaleuns avoid the preparing of 'Special Cocktails' from now on"...
