Now my dilema is a Troop transport is armed and has some firepower behind it,in my philosophy any neutral sailing under armed escort being whatever hospital ship or what is a prime target,Now I let the Hospital ship go twice and only sank the troop transport, if they are alone I let them sail.
Now I would like to ask you all how would you consider this dilema ?.
Is the hospital ship travelling under armed escort takeing in mind that a troop transport is well armed better than a corvet anyway and close to the fire power of a dd but without the speed,or do you clas the troop transport as a Merchant (which it techincally is) what would you do?
