May I make a suggestion?
Someone has uploaded a printable version of the ID manual. find it and print it and forget about the in game version. It is way too difficult to flip through it when you are in a hurry and due to the fact that visibility is short in SHIV you dont get that much time to ID the target. The only reason you need to ID the target is to get the mast height. Mast height on many classes of ships are almost identical. Since range is the least important element of a firing solution I often will input an average mastheight. You can also let sonar or radar send the range to the tdc if you want. I intend to print my own custom version of the recognition manual with pages from original WWII recognition manuals. One of the things I will be doing is computing the average mastheight for each class of target and not the major exceptions. I hope you find this idea usefull. Good luck and Sink em all! Joe S
