How do you positively ID ships at night/long range?

Aviv · 01-23-18, 11:01 AM

Compared with SH4 where most of the freighters in your patrol zone will be friendly, how do you ensure that a given ship is enemy when you can't make out the flag on the mast? How do you know if it belongs to a neutral or friendly country when it's night and stormy?

In my current campaign it's September 1940 and I am having a hard time finding targets I don't want to pass up the chance to add to my puny tonnage.

Any tips?
