Its 1940 and I have run across four American ships, in three groups, running with no lights at all.

First group had two and I sunk both of them before realizing/remembering that the US was neutral in 1940 (well historically "neutral" can be debated, but in the game they are neutral).

Second group had one American ship which I also sank and only saw the American flag when it was illuminated by the fires (Rocket's red glare).

Third group had one American ship but I was able to see dimly the American flag so I let it go.

All total, I lost almost 350 renown.

I always respect neutrality in the game. But running in a combat zone with no lights is not how a neutral is supposed to act.

It is so hard to see the flags at night.

I tried to convince unkle that these sinkings were caused by a British submarine trying to discredit the Kragsmarine, but I don't think he bought it.

Anyone else run into neutrals traveling dark?

Anyone else sink them like I did?
