Whale and other biological creatures

[mapuc]

Right now I'm playing Eisenhower moves north

Many of ships, planes and helicopters are controlled by the game they are on my side.

I can't really keep an eye on everything and now and then I can see in my message torpedo etc etc has impacted biological whale

One torp lost.

Could they not, at that time, see the different between a whale and a sub ?

Or is it in the game the problem is ?

I will try to keep my eyes open and mark the Goblin when it says its biological as friendly.

Hello,

Often it takes time to positively identify an underwater contact as biological, and you may prefer to engage it immediately and waste a weapon rather than wait and if it is an enemy possibly lose one or more ships.

Navies frequently do this in RL combat (or even just crisis) situations. For example the British expeditionary force in the Falklands wasted almost all its ASW ordnance on contacts that were never positively identified as subs, and many of them turned out to be biologics or false contacts.

Also you don't have to mark identified biologicals as friendly, unless your ASW units are set to free fire in the ROE. As soon as a contact is identified as biological, it'll get marked as neutral automatically and your units will leave it alone.
