Basically, the "Signature" tab could be split up into four categories: Submarines, Warship, Merchant, All (original setup with all contact types listed). That way it would make classification faster when general ship categories are already known. Especially if you ever officially add a Russian campaign, as then you could switch between NATO/Warsaw pact ships. But that's for later I'm sure.

Great idea! Something related I have run in to on several occasions is I have come across a sub or surface ship that is doesn't have an entry in the manual. Twice now it turned out to be an Echo. For whatever reason the entry for that boat was just missing. Then in other missions its back. I am running the Russian Subs mod so I'm not sure if this is a bug with the game or an unintended issue caused by the mod. Has anyone else experienced this? It can be really frustrating to have a clear signature of the target but just not have an entry that matches. Eventually the crew will auto assign the correct type to it or I will sink it without knowing exactly what it was until I get to the AAR.

I had this issue a couple of times when creating my own scenarios.

The units that you will have in your scenario must be listed in the "OtherVessels" line at the bottom of your new scenario file. If it is not listed, it will be used in the game but not in the library for classification.

Just add it and things will be correct.

Thanks, I'll look into that when I get home.
