Elco torpedo boat mis-identified as battleship

Hi,

I saw an odd thing today, I was patrolling in the Med on a dark evening in April 41 and was tracking an Elco torpedo boat through the Uzo. I panned away briefly to check my starboard quarter, and when I panned back onto the Elco, it briefly showed the Ship description as one of the battlecruisers (don't remember which, but its one of those 30K tonnage buggers). After a split second, the ship description changed back to Elco. I double-checked and there certainly wasn't a battleship about.

So...Im wondering, has someone been smart enough to simulate/model vessel mis-identification under the right conditions (e.g. evening sighting in my case), or was this simply a coincidental bug/fluke?

Anyone else experience this?

This is using GWX3.

Regards,
Dud
