Captured ships question

lobowwe · 02-02-16, 05:07 AM

Late 1939 I was cruising in a type II south of Norway but within visual range of the coast. A WEIRD convoy appeared, British Tribal class destroyer , three Norwegian small armed craft, and a Dithmarschen-class Supply Ship- which DID NOT have any flags flying. (Was this a recreation of the Altmark???)
Either way, i managed to sink the Tribal class and followed the rest to a fjord where they sat and did nothing. On my return from patrol I saw a German tug leading a Dithmarschen-class Supply Ship towards German held territory but I don't know if it was the same vessel.
Now my question is , can ships be captured ????

Not that I know of. It's possible that the Dithmarschen was actually just a stand-in for a Dale class fleet oiler, like in mods for SH5. That doesn't explain the lack of a flag or the British-Norwegian co-operation, though. What mods are you using?

ONLY the Tribal class attacked. None of the others reacted like I was an enemy (sub outline turning red)

Are you using Merchant Fleet Mod? That's the only mod I know of that actually spawns some ships without flags, and I've also seen convoys with a mix of hostile and neutral ships, most of the time there's at least one neutral.

Only other possibility is if the flagless ship took some fire at some point and lost the mast the flag flew from. Sounds like they'd come to the end of their route, who knows what mischief they got into.
