That's the Argentine flag. Neutral, don't you dare:mad:

I'm always very careful about targetting ships, and visually flag-verify any before firing on them. I do agree that it seems a bit deceptive and 'cheating' to have neutral ships in an 'enemy' convoy, although I think it's worse when you find enemy ships in a 'neutral' convoy.
Regardless, I've never fired upon passenger liners whatever their nationality (my personal feeling is that they're non-combatants, and unless I was to have particular intel on a specific ship --like the Germans did with the Lusitania-- I do not engage them) nor would I fire upon hospital ships. That's just me however. |
I remember spotting a convoy led by a neutral ship and thus marked as neutral on the map. Then when I reached it, it consisted of 99,99% enemy ships:damn:.

I've just sunk a Passenger Liner, heading east, on July 17,'43 at 04:20 flying the British flag. I considered her to be carrying troops. Impressive seeing that one sink after hitting her with only 2 torpedos. And I took a pounding from the Brit escorts for it too.
This is the first passenger liner I've seen in any convoy so far. First torpedo hit in the bow, second hit mid ship in fuel bunkers. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/GT182/PL1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/GT182/PL2.jpg |
Good on ya lad!:up:
Sink those bleedin' ships to David Jones locker!:arrgh!: |
Must say, that was a nice hit.
It really only needed two torps to go down? |

I sunk the one in front of the Statue of Liberty with one well placed (easy since it was stationary) impact pistol torp right in the fuel bunker. It made such pretty fireworks. :D |

Imagine their enthusiasm for giving us yankee's are up in comings once we "offically" entered the war. Personnaly i find our usage of our "netural" status at the time grossly exploited. Apparently we even had destroyers escorting convoys while we were "netural" as well. |
Lately I've been using only magnetic pistol for all torpedos fired. Seems to work better than impact and less torps bouncing off hulls. Because of a ship that size I used AOB of 90 degrees and got in close. I used 2 T-III topredos set at 6 meters. Spread was fairly close together. 1st T-III hit the bow and the 2nd hit mid ship. I was worried she wasn't going down so I fired my last torp.... a T-IV. That was a waste. Just after I fired it off we got the mssg "Enemy Destroyed".
Now diving to 120meters at 1kt and "Silent" as 2 Flower Corvettes are looking for us. They must be pissed for some reason. LOL We're right between the 2 at 2000 meters distant, so their sonar is screwed. Hopefully we'll slip out the backdoor before the sun gets any higher.... it's 04:59 on a calm North Atlantic sea. But I do wish we had rough seas to help us hide better. |

You may think that it was unfair, but I'm thankful for that! If the US hadn't done that the war might have lastet longer. But you would have joined the war anyway because Hitler had to attack the US as well. One would think he learned from WWI!:p |
