Question regarding recon on naval units

[PanzerMike]

What does this mean:


Does this mean 4 naval units of which one is a BB unit (so a representation of let's say 20 ships in total). Or it is a BB unit representing 4 ships.

4 naval units, 1 of them is a BB; the others are cruisers, destroyers or transports.

Clear. Thanks!

Not so clear for me.
Game is using groups of ships, but the report is based on ships alone.
So a BB group represents 2 BB with some support ships (CL and DD...)
When 1 BB is reported and 3 other ones, does this mean the support ships are detected or another group (a CV group, where the carrier is not beeing detected yet)?

[AlbertN]

It talks of in-game units.

Litterally read it as 4 naval units, of which 1 is a BB and 0 are CV.

The true question is - is the recon actually veritable or can be (legitimately so) faulty?

[AlvaroSousa]

It is what it is. Putting in faulty recon while an accurate idea is not an optimal one for players. It would be very frustrating. Then I have to put in counter measures to verify faulty recon which adds another layer of complexity.
