Default Lit up units at night

never before seen this, but during my patrol, I was off northern spain somwhere on my way home I discovered a small 4 unit convoy, consisting of medium cargo's and a large tanker. It was night and they were showing navigation lights.

I am guessing if they are showing light's, then it means in GWX that they are friendly/neautral units and that I should not attack these?

Indeed, or risk a corresponding loss of renown...

You have the flag pull-down. Use it.

At the Navigation station, when you are looking down at the map on the chart table... in the upper left hand corner of the GUI are several tabs which are actually the corners of additional charts you can pull down and look at.

One of them is a pictorial of all the flags of the countries in the game, with their names and dates of Axis/Allied/neutral affiliation.

This is in GWX mind you, I don't remember if it was there in stock but surely there was something like it.

No problem!

And don't even ask me how many hours of playing time I put in before I found all the pull-down stuff in that screen.
