Manual is great but really could use index. I looked and couldn't find red Dot meaning?

It means sub is in silent mode rather than hunt (blue dot) mode. Set through right click, set mode or occurs usually if sub dives to escape an attack.

And I think the colors are completely backwards 😡
Red to me would mean hunting as the red color would mean the sub and convoys are in 'danger'. While Green means the sub and convoys are 'safe'
Is there any way to change that in the Editor?

Not a deal-breaker, but I must admit that it is counterintuitive. Red should be for hunting. (Red alert, condition red, etc).

I'd just like to be able to tell the difference! I'm partially color blind and the red green is too hard to make out. It would be really great to have 2 different symbols like a star for hunting and a circle for silent
