This was a head smacking moment in my 2nd patrol in my IIA (tons of crashes and bugs making me start over) when I realized exactly how easy it is to decern what nations are friendly/neutral/enemy:

Look at the correstponding ports for that country. If they are green, blue, red, then the ships are that stance toward you!

I was motoring out to my patrol zone, england was green, norway was green, germany was blue.. then all of a sudden (on the 3rd, I think) England, South Africa, The Mediterranian all their ports turned red.

This means it's kinda-sorta representing BdU radioing you with updated political information. (Although it probably would have updated even if I was underwater, i.e. out of radio contact, when midnight of the 2nd rolled around).

Hey !

Nice point, thanks http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif


But since my sonarguy is a total dumb despite he is Sr chief and sonar qualified that prevent me still to use the "no map update" thingy

Another neat way to double check if a target is an enmey is just ask the weapons officer to recommend a target. He often times will recommend enemy targets way before I can identify the flag colors myself. My weapons officer must have bionic implants. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/16x16_smiley-tongue.gif

This is awesome. I DID notice england's ports changing to red when I started a 1939 campaign.

Thanks for the tip!
