I sank a 'neutral' with a Union Jack?

Gezoes · 08-25-08, 08:04 AM

Hello there, my fellow captains. A strange thing happened last night. I'm a VIIC out of Brest and it's early January 1942. I was on my way back from AL25 when I met a large merchant and a Granville type freighter.

Sank the large merchant with two eels and the Granville with one... however, it showed up sank as neutral. It was a very dark night and I forgot to take a picture

But... I looked closely before it sank. Union Jack on a red flag. Now, no matter what else is on that flag... stars, couldn't make it out, emblem etc... Union Jack in 1942 = Commonwealth = the enemy. Right? Or am I about to feel very stupid :rotfl:

when you say it showed neutral... was it a green sinking symbol???

May be a Q-Ship? :hmm:

GoldenRivet · 08-25-08, 08:30 AM

but wouldnt a Q-ship show up as enemy? and dont you have to have the Q-ship mod installed for there to be Q-ships?

Yes and yes.

If it's a grey sunken ship icon, you weren't responsible for its demise....as you have already stated, it was probably the weather, but it could also be mines or air attack

@Gezoes

If your playing GWX2.1 you might want to give the Q Ship mod a go.

Tis always another way to end a promising career early.

The Granville type freighter is one of the ships that sinks too easily in bad weather. Try my sinking ship mod if you don't want the weather to steal your kills.

This mod slightly adjusts the mass/displacement ratio of nine ships, including the GTF, which tend to sink in poor weather.

Mod is GWX and JGSME friendly, and I have had no reports of it fouling up something else in SH3.

Unknown to me before! Thanks Jim. And if you didn't know before, your sense of humor is greatly appreciated on this little Dutch end of the pond :rotfl:

What manual?
