Sounds like your Sonar or EW isn't getting the correct classification. That happens sometimes. Generaly they can give you a class close to what it is (a Tico will occasonlay be a AB) but sometimes they are way off.

Check you TA and EW classifcations manualy if its a target you are going to be shooting at.

To be exact .. radar does not clasify targets AT ALL. So if you see target (with Show truth off) and it says it tanker, some other sensor gave that information. Check the 'sources' on contact details on map window. You will see what sensors gave data for this contact. Passive electronics gives ususaly very good clasification. Sonar does not, when runned by autocrew. Visual sensors gives best clasfication. In sub, use periscope, on FFG, send helo ans watch the 'Link' data layer for what helo sees.
