Romanian merchant heading into Dutch port?

Some neutral ships are known to go all lights off if submarines are known to be in the area. Better travel all lights off and not become a mistake

In the stock game no ships are lighted. In GWX some neutrals are lighted, but not all.

As above....the only exception being, if it is lit it is a neutral.

I once spotted a non-lit Norwegian merchant in formation with a British convoy, in 1939. I hesitated to attack it, though I'm pretty sure it was fair game historically.

If my memory serves, any and all ships that were part of an armed/escorted enemy convoy were treated as hostile.

The game is different....no semblence with RL in that respect.

So are you saying I was right not to attack the non-lit Norwegian in 1939? The game would've held it against me?

Yes...if the ship is a neutral at the time of sinking you will receive a negative renown hit and every ship from that country will consider you an enemy for the following 24 hours.
