I don't understand

Hey guys, probably another stupid question... but here it goes. How come when I sink a warship or cargo ship that's red to me on my map... but at the end of my mission it counts as neutral tonnage? I'm probably sounding like a complete idiot but i'm pretty stumped here guys. Can anyone explain why?

The Warship is easy... You sunk it before the War started or that country went to war with Germany.

GST,
The best thing to do is get close enough to see the flag, either through the periscope or the camera on F12 and ID the Ships flag. Go to (F-1) and look for enemies of Germany. Make sure that ship is the enemy at the right time frame of the War.............

I think maybe you are reading the wrong line... there is a bit of an optical illusion in the mission summary, the left column has an extra line of text and number seems to line up to the wrong line...

So even if you're not at war with a particular country yet their ships appear red to you on your map AND they are attempting to kill you it still may count as neutral tonnage? Or does it really seem like it's more of just the alignment problem on the post-mission report?

If you've got coloured contacts and tails enabled, enemies appear red in colour.

Probably an alignment issue, have you seen an optician lately?

Maybe they don't like you.

Actually, if you sink a neutral, the war ships of that country will attack you and try to sink you. I am not sure for how long, however.
