What would have happened in this situation in real life?

Well as all 3 of you are in the Pan-American security zone chances are the DD may have acted aggresively - definately if he was escorting the cargo ship
Certainly it would have radio'd in plain language your position to all listening

In game or RL ? Or both ?

Sometimes in game I have sunk a Br cargo under the nose of a US ship without interference
Other times the US DD will become aggesive and look to take me out

I guess depends on whether you have hit or sunk a US flagged vessel while sailing off the US coast
If so it will defo be interested in having a go at you

The DD (in RL) would probably attack as a means of self defence....especially if you fired at the merchant.

In a gameing sense and as already pointed out....the 24hour aggressor rule would apply.

Maybe I should ask this.

In GWX

It's mid 1941

I'm off US east coast in American waters off New York.

I sink a Brit C2

Do's it show green (neutral) and do I get a renoun hit ?

edit: Green on the map.

You should get a renown hit, i wouldn't know why you wouldn't. The game would count renown kills on what flag it flies, not where it is. But the americans might get a little mad at you.

Why ? It's a Brit ship and were at war with the Brits.

Or is it an unfixable game problem ?

No it shows as red and you GET renown
Why green ? Br is at war
Doesnt matter where in the world
You can sail into new york 4th Sept 39 and sink a brit and shows as red

Location means nothing
If they are at war then they are at war
