Convoys reporting, wolfpacks in SH5?

Hi,
when i report convoy, BDu often orders me to shadowing convoy until more subs come.
Subs will come, thats sweet, but whats next? I never saw any action from them, every reporting seems to be totally useless

I saw one of the AI subs fire a torpedo once. Another time one of them may have sunk a ship. Most of the time they just don't spot the convoy and run off.

They sometimes do attack, but you better watch out. One AI fish missed and passed close to my boat, I'd probably be

if I got hit

That would be better than my experience - one mighty ubote came over, ran before convoy and continue from north to south... That's all...

Wait how did u actually get such a message as well as AI subs to come to the convoy?

Im using OHII though. Despite reporting like mad ever since i found a convoy in 1940 to mid 1941, not a single message about wolfpacks were received by me or any AI subs seen at all.

Just report convoy and wait for response from Dönitz. Don't attack

Wolfpacks were requested by the subsim community but never delivered by Ubisoft . TDW modded them in . You need to use his mods to have wolfpacks . The 2 mega mods have them . You need to be ahead of the convoy so when the uboats turn up they are intersected by the convoy . You also need the exe patcher afaik .
