I change Neutral to '0'. I don't get penalized for sinking them but I don't get rewarded either, which discourages without punishing. Likewise I change Friendly from -10 to -1. There were friendly fire incidents, and every kaleun who sank a friendly ship was court-martialled. In every case it turned out the victim was disguised as an Allied ship or was where he wasn't supposed to be, so the kaleun was found not guilty. That might justify changing friendly ships to '0' as well, but that would mean carte blanche to sink anything, anytime, anywhere.

Yes, I changed my settings to what you suggested a long time ago and think it the most realistic solution available. I happened to think of this discussion today as I found a American freighter in AM52 but it being June 1940 I left it alone...thought about sinking it since it wouldn't hurt my renown for a moment...but the realist in me kept saying "international incident" ...not to mention the fact Woody Guthrie would write a song about it.
