Usually I check with the UZO or the binoculars on the bridge. If I cannot make the flag (especially at night and in bad weather conditions) and the ship is not lighted I fire. This is a common problem real U-Boat Captains had during the war. The whole idea is Fire First Ask Questions Later (within reason obviously )
