Status report?

mj3437 · 03-11-13, 04:21 PM

I am on the 15th day of my latest mission in the North Sea and have sunk 2 Coastal Freighters, 1 Coastal Tanker, and 1 Whale Factory Ship for a total of 16996 tons. The only time I have been able to send a status report was about 4 hours after I left Wilhelmshaven at the beginning of this mission and that was with 14 torpedoes left and full of fuel. What do I have to do to send a status report?

Hi MJ.

Click on radio operator, then on report and then on send report. It will show up on the radio log as a status report. Also you must be on the surface to send a radio message.

I didn't think about being surfaced.

I was trying to send a report while sneeking out of the area after sinking the boats.

in all fairness however... status reports in Silent Hunter III are pretty pointless
