Maybe I should ask this.

In GWX

It's mid 1941

I'm off US east coast in American waters off New York.

I sink a Brit C2

Do's it show green (neutral) and do I get a renoun hit ?

edit: Green on the map.

You should get a renown hit, i wouldn't know why you wouldn't. The game would count renown kills on what flag it flies, not where it is. But the americans might get a little mad at you.

I'm just too happy it proved wrong.

He was half wrong actually. USA owns a great deal to the French resistance and the British intelligence for its operations in Europe. The Germans were a whole new enemy for the Americans to fight compared to the Japanesse. More organized, disciplined and experienced. And USA was still using Paratroopers in battles which costed a lot of lives. Something that no country could afford after so many years of fighting. Plus, in my opinion, the German war machine was supreme. It was the combination of bad allies and wrong moves that turned the tide of war.

Why ? It's a Brit ship and were at war with the Brits.

Or is it an unfixable game problem ?

No it shows as red and you GET renown
Why green ? Br is at war
Doesnt matter where in the world
You can sail into new york 4th Sept 39 and sink a brit and shows as red

Location means nothing
If they are at war then they are at war

I can follow up to the point where you say the USA have to be grateful to their european allies (resistance and GB), but no one ever should challenge the USA or under-estimate them. and this is what the "Reich" did, without any need. of course they supported GB from the start but to drag them into the European war-theater is just sooo stupid.
btw, glad they did. no one would like to live under Nazi-governments. :03:

The resistance in occupied Europe was a real help, I read in a book how a French resistance fighter walked onto an SS Panzer training Barracks to case the place.

He uses fake papers to blag the Germans and is allowed to roam free, and gives the RAF lots information.

The RAF pasted the place on the eve of passing out, causing some nasty damage and casualties.

Thats one hell of plan.

I hope someone bought him a drink or two.
