Sending mast height to TDC not working?

he says "You need to identify the ship to use the stadimeter".

Pretty much mast height is sent but ship is still unidentified. Now I wonder if it's a mod issue or some weird native sh5 bug.

I get this sometimes, clicking on the stad button above the range dial doesn't work in those situations either. I think it's related to a bunch of issues with being at the decks awash depth range. So when I either order decks awash or, where it really gets obnoxious, when there's high waves that keep alternating the game state of my boat between submerged and surfaced. (to where I also get repeated alternating diesel/electric engaged messages, I can't use Nearest Visual Contact, and crew will leave the deck gun whenever I'm considered 'submerged', among other things)

In either case, it seems to mostly be an issue for me with the UZO and observation scope, try the attack scope or else go a bit deeper and it might work.

There generally seems to be a bunch of issues with depths of around 7-8m, surely there has to be a way to just tell the game that anything over say 8.5m IS surfaced.
