OK - so I was on the Northern Approaches when BdU starts screaming their fool heads off on the radio to get all available boats to the coast of Norway.
Cool; that's how Operation Weserubung starts. But anyway, I'm looking for Brits; date is 02 April - 9 days until the invasion.
I catch a hydrophone contact and go racing after it - warship; moving at a moderate speed towards Norway.
Said warship turns out to be a U-type sub - perfect!
I'm in an ideal setup; he cruises by on the surface at 11 kts. I fire from 700m, broad daylight; impossible to miss. No flags - I have that installed for my sim; I assume it hold the same for other subs too...but at any rate he had no flag.
BOOM! One less U-Type.
Except...I didn't get the kill score.
I just looked on Wikipedia, and apparently Norway had two U-types.
Um...(wince).
Not having done so before, what are the effects when you sink a neutral ship? I'm not getting angry messages over the air, so how do I know?
Cheers!
