this is probably a "Doh!" moment, but I cannot identify commercial shipping. the only thing I seem to have access to is the capital shipping recognition guide.
I've looked through GWX thinking that it was possibly moved or modded somehow, but to no avail.
I had to abandon a cruise because I was shooting blind.
anyone else have this problem?

you arent the only one after a while i just decided i would just sink the sip if it was allied shipping... or running dark.

my method requires you to go to the GWX manual and somewhere in there is a handy table of flags and use that to identify if in the immortal words of Admiral Shakespeare to sink or not to sink:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

There are arrows on the cover of the book. The warships of different nations are represented by that nation's name and flag. All merchants are found under 'Handleshiff'. Also if you click 'Ship' on the notepad in the periscope views the correct ship will come up. This only works if you have the Weapons Officer Assistance on or are using Auto Targeting.

found it. thanks SS.
I was expecting each country to have its own individual section inside the respective manuals.
I wanted to run with auto plotting turned off, but when I couldn't find the appropriate manual I had to turn back, or shoot blind.
