Why an Allied flag
? Sometimes these ships used to steam under false flag to approach Allied ships unaware of their nationality and intentions...before raising the KM flag and stop the ship with a shot across its bow
...but I don't think this is moddable in the game
...and then enemy ships will immediately recognise you as enemy
.
Usually, pocket battleships used to sail with the central barrel of each heavy turret trained with a 30 degrees elevation, to give the impression of having four turrets, to disguise themselves as a british old battleship.
obviously these tricks worked only with some
merchant ship lookouts.
