I am running the Schnellboot mod, and had just passed an Irish freighter (3,000 yards, daylight with moderate fog). All of a sudden a British DD materializes out of the gloom, making an immediate flank beeline for my position. Suffice it to say that I was unable to outrun him before he blew me out of the water.

Question is whether that Irish merchie sent out a general distress call or something when he saw me, and the DD responded. I don't know why he would do that, but perhaps the coders didn't make a distinction between neutral and enemy.
