Question regarding Flags and Nationality

[Captain Norman]

I was heading towards my patrol area off the Western Africa coast, and I stumbled upon 3 ships, all with French flags. Now, after I sunk them, it showed their icons as green (allied I believe?). I thought the French were enemies, id be glad if someone could help my confusion here.

[Kpt. Kozloff]

Green icons means - neutral.
When did tha happen (the year)?

[Captain Norman]

Close to December 1940

[Rykaird]

I was confused as well, especially given that there is a small typo in the flaggen sheet for GWX 1.02.

bigboywooly was kind enough to set me straight:

"France is allied 3 Sept 39 till 25th June 40 and 26th Aug 44 till war end"

Between those two dates she's neutral.

[Kpt. Kozloff]

That should sort you out matey:

N - neutral, A - allied (enemy)

[Captain Norman]

Well, its a good thing I saved before sinking them :D

[Brag]

Ja! You don't want to sink the guys who keep us well supplied with wine, cheese and cognac. :D

[Jimbuna]

When in doubt :hmm: .............SINK EM ALL!! :arrgh!:

The new updated manual for 1.02 has the same layout of the updated flags which can be seen at the periscope or uzo screen. Simply center this page on your computer screen and print a copy on paper for easy reference.

Excuse my ignorance, but Ive been looking all morning for this "Flaggen Sheet" & I cant find it.

Please someone tell me how to access it?

I looked at the maual, cant find it, looked in game at periscope & UGO & saw no access to it, looked in the directory through explorer...there I found it, but couldnt open it .

frusterated :damn:

[melnibonian]

On the top left hand side of the periscope screen you will find a drop down tab. Just drag it and you will see all the flags you need;)

I do this .. if my wee submarine goes red, I open fire.

I do believe there is a typo/mistake on the Flaggen.tga: It lists France as Allied, with date ranges of 03/09/39 - 25/06/40 and 26/08/40 - 31/12/45. I think the 26/08/40 should be 26/08/44.

Yes. There's a few flaggen typos which are currently getting fixed for the next release. :yep:

I guess this comes from the GWX manual? I'm looking for a doc that shows the same kind of info for the stock game at patch 1.4b. Anyone?

[Keelbuster]

It's kindof an exploit, but if I'm unsure about a ship with an unusual flag (like Croatia or something), I apply time compression. It won't let you go over 32x in the presence of an enemy ship, though if it's neutral the TC is unlimited.

It's not from the stock game, no.

If i'm not mistakened (can't check it 'cause i'm at work now) it comes from:
C:...\data\Menu\Gui\Layout

Flaggen.tga :up:

Mind that it's from the Stock SH3 patched to 1.4b + GWX 1.0.

[bigboywooly]

IIRC you can press F1 for the help screen in stock and it should list " Enemies of Germany "

[gws226]

Hey guys,

Im a little confusing regarding this topic as well.

Looking at the "enemies of Germany" I see that the french were technically neutral during German occupation... What about the "free french?" Is there a flag that seperates them?

A nice juicey French group of french ships just appeared off lisbon, and man I don't even need to change my course to sink em! hehehe

[Steppenwolf]

Yes, the Free French flags have a red cross of Lorraine in the middle of them.
If you use GWX, it's shown right under the French flag on the Flag chart in the corner of your periscope screen.

[Canovaro]

Thanks, I'll try that :up:
