To sink or not to sink it?

lexo1014 · 01-25-09, 02:00 PM

This morning i got a aircraft contact so i dove to periscope depth. After just a few minutes at periscope depth i got a sound contact, merchant moving away. I change direction to intercept, i look through the periscope and what i see,well it caused me to re-think my attack.
It looked like a large passenger liner but was white, with the red cross's all over it,and green striping down the hull.
It was a big,juicy,east target, but i wasn't sure if i should sink it,,so i turned back to my planned course and let it be.
So question is,should i have sunk it or no?

If you are seeing this red cross all over that ship.....let it go!

Sinking hospital ships isn't cricket.

Yes, that ship is worth something like -1000 renown if you sink it. Leave the hospital ships be.

Ahh good choice i made then. It sure was a juicy looking target tho.
Thanks for the information on the negative renown.
