Identifying Targets

question how does the game recognize the identity of targets

For example here are some sinking off one of my patrols you notice how some ships have the name and full inventory and some just give the basic info is it to do with getting close to the ship before sinking it or something like that ?

Anybody know how the game determines it ?

Far as I know, what you listed only occurs when using Sh3 Commander with the ship names option enabled. The program just assigns names/cargo randomly and you can see the files and info. they use in your Sh3 Commander/cfg folder.

Distance from target, id, etc. has nothing to do with it.
