Can you remember the message from BDU? Will they actually tell you to join the wolfpack or the convoy?


What I remember is: There is a bug when you signal a convoy because the 3-number convoy course you transmit can be way different from the real number and it will mislead all wolfpacks joining you - unless one of them can join you, in which case the others will follow. Your first contact report needs to be mostly accurate...by chance.

Yep. The other boats gave contact reports to BdU and then BdU told me to intercept the convoy with the grid location.
Re the contact report position bug, I've never found it to be a big problem. I keep sending reports and the other boats join anyway if possible, regardless of incorrect convoy course reports.
