Default Using an Enigma Code Machine in-game!

A bit of added realism. I configured one of my single player missions so that when I sunk a Kent-Class Cruiser I received a mission update from Head Quarters, in Enigma Code!! I then turned to my trust iPad, switched on my Enigma APP and, used the ring settings in the message (I Know, NOT realistic) and decoded my mission, which as you can see from the start of the message, to "Intercept Allied Transmission" at a certain coordinates (note I used "Z" as a space) - where I found a Balao Sub refueling ... and sank it.

I know there were codebooks for settings of the rings for each patrol day but I just wanted to use the Enigma in the simplest possible way.

The App is by Matthias Schorer and is from the Appstore. There are other Enigma Apps with more functionality but this is the most realistic looking / sounding one.
