It was even worse in the First World War. U-boats would always stop and inspect ships, so the British developed the first Q-Ships. They not only had hidden guns, they had extra crew trained to abandon ship, so the u-boat would be tempted to pull right alongside. It was because of that the Germans started torpedoing ships while submerged, and when they did the Brits accused them of cheating.

As you noted, all that is, or at least was, apparently too much to be coded into SHIII (or even GWX).

It is buried in the basic code. It could be changed, but to do so would be illegal, so no, it can't be done.

I wonder if it would be a good method for SHIV ATO/OM also;

They are exactly the same in that regard, and so is SH5.

I get tired of letting all those "neutral" ships go by, knowing that the game doesn't care if they're "neutral" or not and will give me full credit for sinking them if I decide to "cheat" a litlle...

I never attack neutrals, even with the changes, unless they are in a convoy. Even then I try to avoid it if I can.
