Default Red contact lines for warships

Someone had a quick little mod to turn warship sonar contacts red rather than black/grey. That would help substantially when attacking a convoy and all you get is a mush of black. It's the kind of thing a weapon's officer would be very helpful with, if I ever turned that option on. If someone has it, knows of it, I'd love to know where I can download it. Thanks!

The simplest way is to enable it with JSGME

Has the unfortunate side effect tho of adding the tails back to contacts (and own boat) and red/blue colors for friendly/enemy contacts.

Was wondering that myself.
I like GWX but I'm not sure removing the colored contacts for warships is more realistic. If it's possible to tell a warship from a merchant, then a WO can certainly use 2 different pencils to mark them.
