Stupid question: Re ID'ing ships

Hi

Ok, so I've been playing DW for a long while now and want to get back into SH5.

Thinking of using the Wolves of Steel mod (despite not wanting German voices etc...grrrr), and aside from the 'Real Navigation' worries I have a much more stupid concern.

From the few times I've tried it out, early in the career when I can only target certain nationalities ships, how the hell do you guys identify those targets?

So the only think I can come up with, is that I have the learn to recognise the flags of the countries I can target. However the problem with that is that I can never get close enough to the target without spooking it for me to clearly read / see the flag!

So how do I know who to shoot at?

Told you it was a stupid question.
