Messages From COMSUBPAC

I recieve position reports OK, but when I send a status report to HQ, I don't seem to get a response from them. The status reports show up in the "Messages Sent" section, but for some reason I never get a response. Any ideas? Thanks.

Has anyone else noticed that when you select "all messages" it only shows "messages received". I see my own messages in "messages sent" but they never show up under "all messages". Minor bug?

I have never gotten any replies to the status reports I have sent. Only to contact reports. The reverse of SH3 (where they replied to status reports, but not contact reports). Huh.

Try sending a status report after completing a mission objective. Often times you'll find you're given an additional objective as a result.

I had orders to patrol South China Sea. I was able to intercept a troop transport convoy and knocked out a 6000tonner, thus completing that mission objective. When I sent in a status report after, I was assigned a new patrol area in the Luzon Straits.

That may be it. I never made it to my assigned patrol area. Too many convoy and task force reports in my vicinity. I could'nt pass them up. I used all my torpedoes long befor I reached my assigned patrol area.

Try phoning in a convoy contact report. You will get a message from PAC to either intercept or they will "assign other assets to intercept".

Even if you radio in after completing your "patrol" or task assigned if your out of munitions you will not recieve further orders.

If you stop, refit, and then radio in another patrol report you will be given a new task (if the first task was accomplished).

It seems to be tied into how many munitions you have left on board.

Are you looking at the top of the message list? The messages aren't displayed chronologically. All the sent messages are at the top, then all the received messages after that.
