I currently have the game paused right now, and minimized until I can sort this out. It's September 2nd '39, and I have 2 ships in my vicinity a couple hundred klicks north of Kiel.
Ok, everyone knows that if you line up the crosshairs with the UZO/Periscopes, a colored triangle is supposed to appear either above or below the cross, right? Well, lately the targeting has not been working at all. I cover the ship all over the place with the crosshairs, but nothing happens. No triangles, no ID on the notepad, nothing. It's getting frustrating.
It worked when I first spotted the Danish tugboat, but then it just "turned off" even though I kept the crosshairs right on it.

Since it worked at least once, it is obvious that you didn't select by error manual targetting in the options menu. So my guess is that your crew is actually not seeing those ships. You can only lock on what your crew sees, so if there is fog, night or rain your crew might actually not be seeing what you can (crew sensors are mostly independent from what is rendered on screen, and balancing those two things is an art which in any case never ever reaches perfection). Get closer and check again if they are seen, also ask your IWO for the bearing and range to closest target, so you can confirm if he sees them.

Second, there is another ship that I cannot ID at all, because it has no flags...and since I can't upload images here (tried it already w/ jpegs) I'll try to describe it. It has 2 "lighthouse"-looking masts on it, shining brightly. Its hull color is very odd, like a rosy hue (the sun is not setting/rising). And it has no flag. Is this a ghost-ship bug?
Any help with why the targeting/ID system is not working will be appreciated, and of course if anyone knows what kind of ship this is. Thanks all!

IIRC that is the lighthouse ship in GWX and WAC, it existed in several harbours in real life and is not a target you have to identify. It's just a reference for navigation.
