How to identify target

[jdriver]

Between sh3, 4, and 5 and the various mods i get a bit confused sometimes as to which method is which...I can't recall how to id a target with manual targeting OFF in SH4. I click the 'identify target' button and nothing seems to happen. How do I see what the ship type is after clicking the button? This is with every gameplay option selected except no map contact update and manual targeting system. Thanks.

With or without auto targeting on the ship ID will be in the little box above the left hand set of dials. Click the left hand tab to see the dials.

With auto targeting on the ID will show up as soon as the periscope sees a target.

Without you need to click the ID ship icon.

Thanks! I'll try it out as soon as I can.

I would've watched the videos but I am on satellite and they take forever.
