Scope targeting/ID issue + Ship w/ no flag?

Tynan · 03-28-10, 10:35 AM

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. That's the first issue.
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!
