Ship identification

der--drache · 04-13-06, 07:42 AM

I'm finding that I have to get so close to be able to identify a ship properly that

a) everything happens so quickly there's hardly time to get a firing solution together before its sailed out of a good firing position

b) I'm so close i may as well just judge the angle, speed etc of the torp by eye and WO ranging rather than through the TDC (much less satisfying)

Is this just my ineptitude or does anyone else find this?

Any tips? Thanks!

Its not just you...this is a problem that others have to.

I found the best bet is to increase the zoom of your Binoculars and Observation scope to 10x.Just use TimeTravellers Mini Tweaker program and follow the instructions in this thread.

WTB: Mod that increases the size of the flags.

Has anyone checked to see that they're the right size?

That would be another option if it is at all possible.

Does anybody know if it is at all possible to increase the flag sizes a tad?Not alot but just enough to make it a little easier to ID a ships nationality from a reasonable range.

I think there is a high- resolution flag mod that at least makes them easier to see. It's here at subim in the download section iirc.
