A large Polish cargo is spotted late afternoon on 31 August, heading East: It's less than 12 hours until things kick off with Poland, so I shadow this ship and the moment Warsaw turns red on the nav map, I sink her: Is that really bad form?
Same happened to me yesterday. First patrol assigned to BF10 (its like BF55 or was it BF56? - they dont exist). Sneaked up a large cargo short before war declaration to poland. Two hits short after the radio message received that we are at war with poland.
The second large cargo sunk a couple of hours later without any sinking credit or renown... First time this problem occurs. I had no upgrades before starting this patrol.

However... many ships will follow... who cares about the missing 10k tons?
