Contact Updates
I am currently playing SH3 /GWX /SH3cmd on 100% realism with "No update contacts" (Gods Eye) off.
My question is this: Every now and then I still see auto generated "contacts" on my Nav Map even though I have "marked contact" turned off ! - What are these? I am presuming they are plotting of contacts provided by radio ? ? ? Just want to check. |

thos are contacts made by other Uboats or planes that show you where a current ship is when they spotted it, it wont be updated , and you will see Convoy contacts appear on the map as well as soon some other uboat/plane spotted them.

I have one question regarding this subject: how deep can you be, and still be able to receive those contacts by radio?
I guess it's the periscope depth, but I'm not sure... |

I think it's around 20 meters in the game. In an interview with the radioman from U-869 he states they could receive messages up to 30 meters. Below is the link and it's the second page where he talks about receiving BDU messages while submerged.
