Help me id some flags.

[NightCrawler]

I had 1 mission, and peek into the periscope and saw a ship far from me, and check the flag...
i thought i was brittish, so fire some eels and later on when i came closer, it was a portugese ship good it was a small cargo.. the bad... little negative renown

How hard am I going to be kicked in the face for a 7900 ton neutral ship?

Well in reality sinking a neutral wasn't so bad depending on the circumstances and the year. Within a convoy neutrals were fair gaem since they were obviously hiding amongst your enemies. If I don't wanna get shot I don't walk in the middle of a Regiment of soldiers at war.

But alone it was a bit different. Though neutrals alone at night and blacked out were a bit rare.

Hrrm I sank 4 ships on sept 22 1939 and they all showed up as neutral. It was the british merchant flag,...I dont get it.

at the bottom left theres a lil book thingy you can open up.. before you do that, theres some arrows that point up and down, you use that to see what country is what, and also then look on the map to see if there neutral or not


*for example, if you see a norwegian flag... then look on your map.. and see that norwegian ports are all red... its safe to sink the ship *

Not sure why no matter what I do they all show up as neutral at the end of the mission. I think that I am getting credit for them, but they are listed as neutral ships sunk.

Not sure how they appear being listed for you. I know at the end of my missions, when the screen pops up displaying tonnage, types and affiliations (ex. neutral, friendly), it's deceptive. Be careful looking left to right because it appears cocked. As I don't have an example of that in front of me I'm going to 'wing' an example: on the left, four lines down, it says 'neutral sunk'. On the right the numbers for that is only three lines down. That's because the first (uppermost) left line has no corresponding info on the right side. Your eyes want to match up line to line, and it sort of tilts the lines to do that, making it very misleading to interpret.
