Not always true, especially early in the war depending on the mods you use. In GW 1.1a I have many times seen neutral Swedish or Norwegian ships in convoy. I have accidentally sunk them, it does count against you as a neutral kill.

The game simply only recognizes if it is an enemy or not. State (ie. in convoy) means nothing. Same with the "Don't attack the French" or "Don't attack British Warships" messages early on... just atmosphere.. the game sees them as enemy tonnage pure and simple.

Date is 1940 november, big convoy with passenger liner smack bang in the middle,
blacked out and zagging. Trailed her for 4 hours in the dark but couldnt get close due to escorts, fired a couple of torpedos at extreme range hitting the passenger liner in the propellor area slowing her right down. Finished her off with another 4 torpedoes was thinking I was in king of the hill. Unfortunately it was an American Passenger Liner. Arrrgghhhh was not impressed when I saw the Nuetral tonnage I had sunk.

You´re right, but I think Hunter knows that they count as a neutral even when they are travelling in a enemy convoy. I sink neutrals too, if they are part of an enemy convoy. Führer´s orders.

I have only one rule if it's big sink it and to hell with it, if it's neutral.

if a fellow officer in my sub looks at me and says : Are you sure it wasnt neutral..did you look at the flag?

Me: What flag? it was floating right? so I had the fully right to sink it.

incomming message......

Exactly how the hell can I see it in the pitch black! and in the day time I'm too busy keeping a eye on Destroyers.

At night if it's lit up I don't shoot at it, if it's not...well if he's a neutral he should have been lit up.

During the day I check the flags, and don't fire at neutrals at all.

Accidents do happen at night sometimes though, but hey if they're in a convoy and not lit up then it's their problem not mine.

i might lose some renown but what the H i get some tonnage
