Neutral ships

[OneToughHerring]

I sank a US tanker in 1940, not sure of the month, should've known it was neutral since it was sailing alone. It left a green wreck. Will I be demoted, lose renown? Will US declare war against us? :) Also, are there different reactions to sinking various neutral ships from different countries or is it always 'everyone against you'. I have GWX 2.1 installed.

You will lose renown and if the renown loss makes you drop below the promotion limit then yes you will be demoted too

Sinking a neutral ship makes you an enemy of that country for 24 hours
May also effect how other neutral countries react to you too

Hi!

You lose renown for sinking neutral ships - basically, your renown award is negative instead of positive. Sinking a hospital ship (always neutral) is, IIRC, -10,000 renown.

The U.S. will not declare war on Germany in GWX; rather, Germany will declare war on the U.S. on December 10, 1941, as it did historically.

The reaction to sinking a neutral ship is always the same: all ships from that country treat your U-boat as "hostile" for 24 hours.

Thanks for the answers. Please, could someone post a link to the image of the war entry dates of the various nations, I've seen it somewhere but I can't find it from the huge GWX 2.1 manual or from here.

The country I'm interested is Netherlands, I see Netherlands ships in a convoy with UK ships but are they some allied friend dutchies or German minions.

edit. Nevermind, I found the image in question from the manual. And the friendly ship I managed to 'accidentally' sink was infact a Panamanian ship.

The "Neutral-Enemy-Friend" image is also in the game. Its a pull-down page you can look at while you play.

Press F1 also and go to enemies of Germany :up:

Oh sheesh. I'm a total noob to GWX, that's my only excuse. :doh: :)

:rotfl:
We all start somewhere

The F1 help contains a lot of info
Was there in stock only very limited ( what keyboard keys do what etc )
GWX ( and others ) have fleshed it out so contains other usefull info such as you were looking for

Resupply dates are another very useful addition when low on fuel\torps
