Neutrals and Neutrality

Pebble Monkey · 08-29-10, 07:02 AM

I'm currently patrolling off the southwestern tip of the UK, and I'm seeing a LOT of US cargo ships and tankers, obviously heading for British ports. They're neutral, obviously, because it's Oct '39 in my current campaign, but they're also obviously supplying the enemy. I assume that isn't enough excuse to sink em?

In my opinion they are neutral ONLY IF they are supplying cargo to BOTH the enemy and you.

Sink em!

If you do sink a neutral, you will take a renown hit which could end your career.

Oops! I forgot about the punishment for such behavior.

Unless you adjust the renown rates for Neutrals so they either give no renown, or a little renown, of course.

That's what I do, since once the war started to get into full swing, in many cases neutral ships that were supplying the enemy are considered valid targets.

I have to keep telling myself that my captain wouldn't know what I do. That the US joined the war later.
If I start declaring war on the largest military force on the planet for the sake of a ship load of stockings or bananas, I don't think my superiors would thank me for it.
But that's just me.
Edit your renown files and sink em if you like, they deserve it.

Don't worry, I still don't blow up US ships until they join the war, but others? They're proving they are enemies of the Reich by supplying our enemies!
