I want to ask some questions.
If i patrol in artic and i find a convoy , i shadowing i report to bdu ,will they sent some u-boats for wolfpack attack ? or will bombers from norway come?

Also,there are any mods involving message ,like bdu to send new orders to you et cetera ...

For the first - no, the game isn't good enough to allow you to get wolf-packs to attack your targets - you're pretty much on your own.

Yes your on your own good luck and sink them all

No, the game will not assemble wolfpacks based on your contact reports. Not yet, anyway - some work has been done by modders to try and make this happen, but nothing's been released as far as I know.

This is a possibility, at least in GWX3, if the convoy is in range of the Luftwaffe. I've never seen it but others have said it sometimes happens. But not always.

Air support dose come out but I have no idea if they will go that far.

To have any chance of help from air or surface forces you have to be within visual range of 2/3 vessels (don't remember the precise number without digging into files) at the time of sending the report.

Said help must be within their combat radius/range to comply and even after that the game engine throws an imaginery dice to decide on the final response or non response factor.

My advice would be never to become dependant on help arriving.

Besides, you don't want the Luftwaffe coming out and stealing the ships you want to sink. They sink em, you get no credit for the tonnage.

True but every now and then it's fun to watch.

Especially when the one they sink is the one that was about to sink you.
