Another question:
I just finished a patrol in which I hit my first convoy, and a big one at that. Half the convoy was marked neutral, but since they were in an ONS, clearly bound for Britain (wasn't far off the coast either) and they started zig-zagging after my first attack hit one of the hostile ships, I considered them valid targets. Since the convoy was only escorted by two ships, a corvette and a destroyer who ran in front and aft of the convoy I was easily able to sneak up from the side and have a field day, sinking most of the large ships after several attack runs - only that one T3 tanker was one hell of a lucky bastard, escaping destruction because everything fired on it turned out to be duds.
Having returned to port after destruction of more than 60k tons of ships, I expected one hell of a reputation boost from that patrol, only to be awarded my lowest rep turnout I have gotten yet. Those neutrals were clearly considered invalid targets and deducted from the rep count by the game.
So are there any other criteria from which I can deduct whether a neutral is valid or invalid prey?
