if they show in
RED it means they Warsaw pact if
GREEN they neutral
how ever depending on the flags assigned to em you can get mixes of vessels with various flags
i believe as long as they
red you OK to sink em but if they
green theirs a limit to how many you can sink before you in trouble err
5 Or 7 ish i think this off my memory tho
also theirs like civilian merchants then Warsaw pact ones of the same vessels so ect :
wp_Poltava =
RED
civ_Poltava =
GREEN
ect
i sorted this out for the sea traffic texts in mini campaigns with special single mini hot seat multi single missions that account for ship types and flags according to the geographical areas of shipping that would be present ect in a given area
so closer to Russia more Russian trawlers and shipping or coastal vessels
closer to NATO areas the same so more British or Iceland ect shipping
some other nations vessels thrown in of course as they travel the world
