GW and ship recognition
 

In GW all ships are classified as Contact and not the type of ship as you would find in the unmodded game.

Even the manual has all ships as Contact

How can I change that so I can the difference between a VW destroyer and a Nelson destroyer for example

I think you have installed the generic contacts mod. You either recognise the ships the old fashion way (binoculars, periscope and rec. manual) or you re-install GW. This time don't install the Generic Ship Contacts Mod in the options.

I hope it helps

Good Luck and Good Hunting

Uninstall the 'generic contacts' part of the mod :up:

cheers

How do you uninstall a part of the GW mod?

Just reinstall the mod again over the top of your current install WITHOUT ticking the generic contacts
