I think the point Sailor Steve has made regarding neutrals and renown in GWX is correct. Having said that, I'll take this opportunity to raise an issue connected with sinking neutrals that didn't get a reply in another thread that I posted in sometime ago. A few patrols back I sunk by mistake a ship owned by the USA prior to their entry into WWII. If the statement made by bookworm is correct, and others have said this as well, if I encounter any ships/planes of the USA they will attack me for at least 24 hours after I committed the crime. Well in my case the Irish also took a dislike to me as I was attacked by Irish Hurricane's on two different occassions soon after sinking the US ship. Because of this, I'm wondering if you become an enemy of all neutral nations for 24 hours. Can anyone clarify?
