I suspected that this was the case. It does raise a question in this "newbie's" mind about how BdU treats my sinking of neutral shipping! Indeed, I chased down a coastal merchant, yesterday, and came close to launching a torpedo at her, until I realised that she was being escorted by a Type 34.

As a former actor, I'm in favor of "Make Believe"!

@ Payoff
It would be cool. I know that one of the mods models tanks and other military items stored on the decks of merchants. A good compromise would be allowing the player to sink such a merchant, even if neutral, if contraband were stored on its decks.

@ Captain Nemo
All one needs is for a substantial portion of the crew to be aboard a merchie, when an aircraft or a destroyer shows up! I agree with you that technological and policy developments in WWII pretty well rendered Article 22 irrelevant.
