Default La Belgique

Hi everyone,

After a sneaky raid into Hull docks, where I claimed an unknown merchant (I had the mark on the map from a previous report, i'll pretend the hydrophone operator could hear repair works being carried out) I set back into the north sea.

Imagine my suprise when coming across two juicy merchants, a quick glance at their flag and i'm sure they are French! one torpedo gone and one is limping, ready to sink. Then I spot something, due to the low sun, the "French" flags were actually Belgian! This is Sept 1939, i've made a massive error.

I dived to periscope depth thinking the merchants would radio my position in.

My question is, in reality, what repercussions would this have on me as a Captain? would I be taken out and shot when I docked back at Kiel or did I do the right thing by submerging and hoping for the best?

Thanks (haven't had that much of a buzz since GWX 3 years ago )
