Romanian merchant heading into Dutch port?

[Paul Riley]

Tonight I spotted a ship heading east through AN87 into Zeebrugge it seems.Upon closer inspection it was confirmed as a Romanian large merchant,easily a juicy 7 and a half thousand tonner too.Now with Romania being allied to Germany for most of the war would it seem normal for Romanian shipping to operate in waters so close to Britain and France? I was lucky I didnt attack in the end,at first I thought it was a French vessel but moved in closer until I could JUST pick out yellow on the flag in the darkness,so much for having lights on ships,why don't they bloody use them?

Some neutral ships are known to go all lights off if submarines are known to be in the area. Better travel all lights off and not become a mistake

In the stock game no ships are lighted. In GWX some neutrals are lighted, but not all.

As above....the only exception being, if it is lit it is a neutral.

I once spotted a non-lit Norwegian merchant in formation with a British convoy, in 1939. I hesitated to attack it, though I'm pretty sure it was fair game historically.

If my memory serves, any and all ships that were part of an armed/escorted enemy convoy were treated as hostile.

The game is different....no semblence with RL in that respect.

Paul, get your Belgian Waffles while you still can. They are about to declare war on you for what you just said. Or atleast organize a Waffle-blockade.
