 Just open up your captain's log and read the message. They are radio reports like any other. |

Oops. I answered this on the 'S-Boats' thread; I should have done it here.
Answer is, I don't know, but it might be specially coded messages, or it might be broadcasts for Fox-Movietone news. Is there anything noticeably different about those messages?

"Fox Traffic" means priority messages, things you should definitely pay attention to (bases falling to the enemy, major invasions going on, emergency orders, etc).

Yep. You'll notice that a "FOX Traffic" report will drop your TC to 1. Other messages only drop TC to 8. Gives you that little bit of an extra edge to take action. |

"FOX" was a Navy Broadcast circuit. Messages to ALL units within range of the transmitting station were 'broadcast'. It was up to the Unit's RM {Radio-Man} to 'copy Fox' and pick off whatever was for his Unit...
