night hunting

[von hally]

does anyone have a procedure of identifying ships at night? gwx disables the auto identify, which i agree does add to the realism, but short of pushing my monitors brightnes all the way up (cheating a little eh?) i have no way of knowing the nationality of the contact im observing. is tracking the target until daylight the only way to do it properly.
secondly guys, ive wolfies tweek pack installed over gwx. i would like the time compression to cut to realtime if any ships are in my vicinity BUT also be able to increase time compression whilst submerged from depth charging etc, as ive found that after surviving a charge, it takes the escort an age to get back to its convoy, i think its the hunter and pray states in the tweek pack thats stopping me doing this, whats the best settings for these
