target recognition at night

She-Wolf · 01-21-12, 10:55 AM

Hello wise ones. I am snooping around Guam, it is midnight and there is an auxiliary sub-chaser tootling around (I am in TMO ). She is a long way away, and it is dark, but if I put maxoptics to maximum zoom I can make out the outlines and identify the craft from the recognition manual, which I duly enter into TDC - but nothing gets written into the ID panel on the Position Keeper pull-out, so I cannot set it up for an attack. Is it because the distance is too great or because it is night?

I ask because I had previously successfully entered the ID of a destroyer around Wake Island, also some distance away at the time of recognition, and subsequently sunk her, but that was in good light.
