Wishing upon a star shell

I'd trail her or motor on ahead of her predicted course until first light.

I agree with jimbuna, wait for first light. The Star Shell would probably scare the heck out of the ship and it would start zig zagging all over. Not seeing any surface ship or radio contact would have them believe it was a Sub. Don't know if its scripted that way in SH, but would be in real life.......

In '41? No risk no fun!

You want to deckgun him anyway. Get closer until you recognize the flag or the freighters reaction. If he starts to zigzag start shooting.
If he starts to shoot - dive!

Jimbuna's got my vote too.
If you arent sure wait for the morning.
Although im pretty sure that besides HE shells some uboats carried a couple star shells with them.

Theres only one realistic decision - wait until confirmed nationallity.
Anything else would be deemed reckless by Bdu.
After all it could just be a German merchant
