Sinking neutral ships

[Crécy]

Hello!

I tracked down one medium cargo ship and now I have torpedo solutions calculated and I'm ready to fire. To my grief I noticed that the cargo ship was american which is neutral in 1939. So is there any penalties for sinking neutral ships? The ship also had spotlights pointed to it's flag. Maybe I can assume that it is secretly cargoing weapons for Britain so it is considered as an enemy, nobody would know...:arrgh!:

Sinking neutral ships will cause you to lose a bit of renown.

generally is the ship is under Lights it is neutral or one of yours.

Sinking one is not to bad I got into a convoy a while back and sunk 4:wah: They where neutral:damn: I did not know about the lights then..:timeout:

Beware of darkned ships aswell, they are not necesery hostile.If there are kriegsmarine operation underway in a specific area the best thing to do is to avoid firing blindly at darkened ships.Penalty for friendlies are severe.

You'll probably be 'transferred' to the eastern front on your return to base. http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

Maybe I just leave it alone. Shame because I so rarely get to so perfect firing spot... Verdammt!
