But yes, you must identify a ship regardless if you use automatic or manual targeting. You need to know the draft of a ship in order to set the running depth of your eels. This can vary greatly from ship to ship. A factory vessel may draw 10m while a destroyer may only draw 2m.

I assume your tired of flipping through the Id book. Just click the word 'ship' in the scope/ezo view and it will jump to the proper page.

hi thx for replying to my question. its not that im getting tired of flipping through the manual i just wanted to know if it was vital like if it added more renown for identifying right then destroying.
i understand about looking at the draft but i dont really use the mast height for anything and i calculate the targets speed by marking on the map then start stopwatch till it hits 5 minutes then mark again measure then look in the charts. thx
