Ship Nationality. Any way to determine?

Anything running with lights on is neutral.

I have found this to be reliable evidence.

Last night I was returning from a patrol at CF59, and got intelligence on a convoy just north of me heading SSW. I altered course to intercept, and sure enough my Sonarman starts chirping about one ship after another.

I had to end the session due to time constraints, but tonight I will pick up where I left off. First convoy of my career. I'm on my 13th patrol. Everything up until now have been single ships.

I have all five torpedoes aboard.

The reason is simple. In stock SH3 there are no lighted ships. GWX added some lighted neutrals. There can be neutrals that are not lit up, but any lit ship will always be neutral.

ESPECIALLY hospital ships. I honestly think they are more lit up than regular neutrals.

Hey, whatever works. Oh, I think Frau Kaleun could point you to it as well.

Has anyone mentioned the Contact_Colour mod yet?
