Looks like this did not carry over into Dark Waters from OM, as I was removed from command after sinking two neutrals in a patrol and one on previous. They were sailing in convoy with British ships. Wish I had known, I lost a excellent career due to this. Ugh.

there is a parm in one of the cfg files that defines the negative points assigned to sinking a friendly or a neutral. i can't remember the file name.
