Hi,

0200 hours on the surface about 8 hours out of Kiel my watch officer spotted a ship. I went on deck to take a look and observed it was A Trawler running withoput lights. Weather was calm and clear but darker then Hell. On most friendlys they have their flag lit. I did not know if it was armed and I didnt want my position radioed in so I approached to 300 m and fired a deck shot accross their bow to evoke a response. All I got was a bright search light in my eyes which ticked me off so I sank her with 8 rounds from the deck, After she went down I checked my chart and the sinking icon was green. My first thought was that I didnt have a lot of reknown to began with without loseing more. I continued patrol and sank a Ammo ship and a medium merchant. When I returned to base I found out that I did not lose any thing and got reknown for the netural. Is there something in GWX that will forgive you if the ship is not lighted. I would rather shoot first them have her shoot first
