German or Brit?

Herr Trigger · 02-14-11, 03:21 PM

Hi, have been on patrol in the English Channel for some time (yawn), not much traffic except for an awful lot of German Merchants heading SW, i thought no more about it but then suddenly wondered if the Brits were flying German flags, what to do? ignore or kill ? so far i've given them the benefit of the doubt but what would you do?
Regards,
H.T.

sink them, then ask them questions

Since it is a game, I wouldn't hunt them down.

You could be penalize it you sink a ship flying the German flag.... even if it's a "Brit" in disguise. Tho I don't think SH5 would do that to begin with. IF IRC, you were penalised in SHIII if you sank a Neutral ship or one of your own by mistake.

Best way is to try it and see if you're shot or not once you return to port after the patrol.

What a dilemma, it's not like i have to hunt them down, they're like hunting me it seems, chugging along and they always come within 500 metres, i feel like they're giving me the finger ! Never experienced this in SH3 to such an extent. Dammit, no more Mr. Nice Guy !
It just seems odd they're heading for somewhere that's obviously hostile i.e Dover, unless they're hoping to try their luck through the channel because of the blockade.
Thanks anyway,
