Ship Identifying

Yes you have to turn the TDC on (click the WO picture). Then click on the ship name link.

A really poorly done and small Rec Manual will pop up. Good luck.

Aslo if your using Auto TDC (not manual) make sure you turn TDC back off, for when you turn it on you go to manual mode.

I kinda like the filters, but wish they still had the front and oblique views and not just side on pictures.

you can use a magnifying glass to note the details of both manual and scope image.. I do this all the time and gradually becoming in less need for tuning to the right ship..

The ship has been there since day one of SH5 I first encountered her in the historic mission which I think is called "The River" and I'm sure there is a recognition manual entry for her.

Guys, sometimes I come across a merchant that is not listed in the recognition manual. In fact, I can't even lock it on periscope or UZO!!
It's a red ship with two big lights on it's masts and is always escorted by a costal vessel...
Any idea?

Easter egg?

First, this the SH5 forum. SH3 questions should be asked in the SH3 forum.

Second, this thread is four years old. It would have been better to start a new thread - in the SH3 forum.

Third, what you saw was a coastal Light Ship, a sort of floating lighthouse. They are not in regular SH3, but appear in GWX. They are listed as environmental objects just so you can't shoot them. They always have a tugboat beside them so you know how far away they are.

Hummm, thanks!
I'll pay more attention next time about the forum.
