Default Full list of nationality flags w/ GWX?

Just pulled U-123 into harbor after a Christmas of port raiding down in the Carribean, only to recieve the report that nearly all the ships I sunk were neutral (except for the British Tribal Class Destroyer). I triple checked the flags with the GWX included nationality timeline, but none of the flags showed up. Now I lost about 100 renown, all while sinking over 30k tons in an enemy port.

The flags do show up in the drop down menu in the periscope screen and in the manual. Are you sure you checked correctly? Do you use any other mods that might cause a conflict of some sort?

Are you saying that you saw ships with a nationality other than the flags in the GWX flag sheet in GWX?
Exactly what country were those ships? What did the flag look like?

You might want to consider some literacy and numeracy training for your first officer

melnibonian>> I dont run anything besides GWX and GWX included mods, so its not a mod conflict. Its possible that it is just a variant of one of the basic ones in the nationality timeline book in the scope/UZO.

Canovaro>> Like I said, I'm not enitrely sure what country they belonged to (evidently one that was neutral). It was just some merchants. If I'm remembering correctly, I sank a Large Tanker, a medium merchant or two, and some smaller stuff. Unfortunately, I lost alot of Eels, because I forgot about the arming distance, and when I remembered those, I forgot to adjust the running depth on my Magnetics.

In any case, there were two mystery nationalities. The first one was Red, Blue and Yellow, but I'm pretty sure it wasnt Romania (the bars were arranged differently then Romania's flag). There was a circle design near one of the edges. If need be, I still have a save game from inside the harbor, so I can bring in pictures. The other was Red, White, and Blue in a box pattern. Red in Top-Right corner, White in Top-Left and Bottom-Right, and Blue in Bottom-Left, and there were a few stars on the flag (but it wasnt an American).

I'll probably just post pictures when I get back from class, makes it easier.

jimbuna>> Well, Bernard already struck U-123 once, so its possible he ate the pages that had the flags I needed or something.

Last time, when loading, he told me that the boat was in port in Willhemshaven. Aparently, thats Bernard talk for on ground somewhere outside Calais

From what you are describing, I would say that those were Panamanian ships (the red, white, and blue squares) and Venezuelan ships (orange, blue, etc.) I did some port raiding myself and met the same dudes. If you hit F1, you should be able to find the dates as to when these countries shifted from neutral to hostile. What year were you hunting?

Hope this helps.

That's really strange. Can you please let us know which port you raided and what year? Also as a check why don't you try it again and take some screenshots this time. That way we can help you more

All depends on year and locations

Talking of the drop-down flag list, Finland is listed as being Allied (at least in the German language version), when it should be neutral until 25 June 1941, and Axis from then until 19 September 1944.
