But on actual visual examination through the scope, the target was exactly the same (physical) profile as the Medium Heavy Load Freighter (MHLF) in the RM.
I'm guessing the ship we id'd as Soyo Maru is tagged with the wrong ID name somewhere, but since I know so little about files, etc. I'm only guessing. I do know that the Soyo Maru in the RM does not match what I saw, but the MHLF was a perfect match to the RM.
Either way, it took two torpedos and sank quite nicely.

Hmm.. sounds like you're using the Nippon add in, if I'm not mistaken...
