WWII ships ran at speeds between 5 and 35 knots, airplanes flew at 100 to 300 knots. Going really really fast compared to a ship = dadblasted newfangled flying machine contraption. If you have map contacts on, the radar target will show up on that with a speed that says "very fast", only airplanes say that.

Another way to tell. Go to your radar screen. If it shows up, it's a ship. If it doesn't show up, it's an airplane.

This. The radar screens in SH4 are for the SJ radar only. Which SH1 had a better representation of sadly.

So true. I've tried to mod my game to be more like SH1. Right now I'm tearing my hair out on the radar - without much luck.

Happy Hunting!
