No way Hospital ships are a no no to me,Geneveva Convention or whatever just amagine if you got blasted to kingdom come and you were aboard a Hospital ship not very nice is it ?

Call me a fool, but to me, those hospital ships are transporting enemy soldiers who will soon become 'operational' (as someone earlier put it) again and be killing our colleagues in the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, and probably the Kriegsmarine and the Ubootwaffe itself. If it flies the flag of Britain, America, France, etc. I will send it to Davey Jones's locker.

They'd do it to us (and they did, if memory serves...a troop transport carrying wounded German soldiers and Allied POWs was torpedoed in the aftermath of the Convoy P.Q. 17 debacle), so I say we do it to them. And also, we did in real life: I'm not sure exactly which invasion it was, but around the time of the North Africa/Italy campaign, one of our radio guided bombs (okay, so the Luftwaffe did it) hit and sunk a hospital ship, along with the ship HMS Uganda.

No, hospital ships are a no go.

Besides the several good reasons listed by other people, here's an evil idea to consider:

You should let them go because the whole idea of the U-boat is to starve Britain out of the war (not to death, just out of the war)... well, think about it... wounded soldiers don't produce anything but still consume food, medicine and various goods, so they actually help YOUR cause and bring Britain closer to quiting the war.

Interesting point of view. :hmm:

I've mentioned this before, but I think there is a logic fault with the renown awarded for sinking a Hospital ship.

The renown awarded is -10000. However, the renown multiplier for sinking a neutral ship is -1. Thus, -1 x -10000 = +10000 renown awarded for sinking a neutral Hospital ship.

I suggested that the -10000 value be changed to +10000 (remembering that *all* other ship renown values are positive regardless of whether they are Allied, Axis or neutral), but have never heard whether anyone tested my theory. :hmm:

If hospital ships are willing to give away your position, then to me they are fair game. Though instead of sinking it, I toy with it...to scare them a bit. Maybe fire a few rounds across her bow....make my men moon at the onlookers....harass the pretty nurses....you know....get a loudspeaker and shout "...show us your knickers!"...that sort of thing. Then I'd pull alongside and draw a big picture of the Fuhrer...it's white so it should show up well. Then I'd get all the rotting food and try to aim it through the open windows...
yes....you can still have a lot of fun without sinking them. :up:

I just going to place myself next to the Hospital ship.
I let my men Board and rape the hot nurses for 30 minutes :arrgh!:
Harrr....5 days with no Sex can hurt you're Snake Harr Harr

You stand correct Sir.
This has been pointed out by myself as well to those who need to know.
