Default Am I Being Given an Order - Map Coordinates

Evening

Just started my first career in GWX... first patrol; war just started and I've got a message telling me:

"SSS SSS SSS 56.66N 14.05W

SS Athenia"

Never saw anything like this in stock SH3... is this telling me the location of Athenia so I can go hunting??

SSS is a distress message meaning being attacked by submarine. RRR means being attacked by surface raider.

These messages are for realism. Don't respond to them.

Aaaand, welcome to the Subsim nest of ruffians

Thanks.

The message certainly added the the experience.

The girlfriend has insisted I go to the pub....so the first day of hostilites will have to do without me for a while!

Radio messages are eye candy but contact reports aren't

Default Grid Location

Howdy and Welcome

The Latitude/Longitude that you was given was AM19. If you get a message and you think you might want to check it out you can convert the Lat/Long at http://www.ubootwaffe.net/quadrant.cgi

here you input the Lat/Long and it will give you the Grid area.

I am currently working on converting the Lat/Long on all Allied Ships Naval and Merchant that were either hit or sunk by U-boats in WWII. So far with all that I have converted I have played in SH3 GWX and checked the game with the current date listed. Example on Oct 14 1939 HMS Royal Oak(Battleship) was to be anchored in Scapa Flow and on that day it was sunk by U-47. Which the position was 58º55'N, 02º59'W converted was AN1614. So I went there a day before and found it there and of course I had to sink it like a good seaman. I have found that convoys and single ships are so far correct with the game with the real records of WWII. Once I compile enough I will post it for everyone to check for themselves. Have any more questions I will do my best to help out. Good Luck on your hunt.

@airwolf48453: Now if only we could have that ingame!
Has anyone got a Grid map with Latitude & longitude markings?
