It seems there is no "right" answer. It is easy to change the Basic.cfg file to may neutral sinkings to yield no (or even positive) renown points. Whether you want to score negative points as an incentive to be careful with your target ID, or score zero and not be penalized for an honest mistake, is up to you. Historically, there was apparently little consequence. But lying off New York sinking American-flag ships in 1940 would not have been good for a Kaleun's career (or his health).

changing the cfg file during patrol might this cause problems? ive decided to change it to 'zero,' though I will wait until im back in port. cheers BigWalleye
