In GWX 2.1, sinking neutral ships does give you a renown penalty but not that much.

Sinking things like civilian passenger liners and hospital ships will give you a major penalty and quite possibly shorten your career with a court-martial from the BdU.

Passenger ships that have been converted into troop transports are fair targets.

Depending on the year and month, Norwegian shipping becomes valid targets with the start of Operation Weserübung, on or around 9, April 1940.

Don't forget that most of Ireland was neutral throughout the war, so be careful to check for Irish flags on those merchies when you're west of England.

There are also a large number of American ships that sail the waters around the Irish Sea so be careful not to sink too many of them until America officially enters the war on 11, December 1941, the date Germany officially declared war on the United States.

Any other, more experienced kaleuns that can double-check me on this info?
