Recognition manual ingame

[Shinzoy]

I have tried to identify certain ships and i am having a hard time with it. In the video i thaught it searched till it found the ship and identified it.

I had a cargo yesterday that after 6 minutes flipping thrue the pictures i still did not have it identified. is there an easier way.

also in a single player mission i had the ship identified but could not select any speciffic part of the ship to attack i would like to know why.

Click on key L to lock the ship, then open manual to Handeschiffe, pick a ship most closely resemble to it. You don't have to be exact. check the little empty box at ship info page, then id is done. Unlock the view, move the crosshair to the front of ship using Ctrl key and arrow key to adjust gyro angle. That's how you aim for the head or tail of ship.

Best way to id the ship in the recognition manual is as follows:-

* Lock the target ship in the periscope
* Open the recognition manual
* The correct ship is automatically identified

I hate all that ####ing with the manual so I get the weapon officer to id ship. I then have a go with manual solution but check with his solution.

I am struggling working out the AOB part, my guess never matches his. Can someone pleae put up a dummies guide for this calculation.

Thanks

That is what i have been doing and it has not worked, the square symbol at the bottom right would not put a checkmark in it and the picture never was the one of the ship locked.

In easy mode it won't let you ident a ship incorrectly.

In hard mode you have to have your cursor over it at the time you click the box.

I find it good to have game pause considering if you were to run a sub in real life you have more hands helping you all at once which quickly calculate and execute a torp track necessary to sink a ship quickly and effectively.
