Anyone kill a friendly? I almost did...

[Kapt Z]

One of my first careers in stock I sank a American that was traveling in a convoy. I was charging in on the surface on a dark night and didn't bother to close enough to make out any flags. Probably carrying contraband anyway.

Since then I have come close with a lone American and a lone Italian. The Italian especially was a REAL lucky bugger.

I hit an inbound convoy a couiple of weeks ago near the end of a patrol. Visibility was moderate at night so I didn't want to get too close. Picked my targets. Almost got gun shy-remembered a few posts about neutrals in a convoy.
Then my agression factor said "NO, NO, NO-SHOOT THE BASTARDS!"
Any neutral sailing blacked out in a blacked out convoy heading for England is fair game, loss of renown be damned.

Sank an ore carrier and got a hit on another ship(didn't see the hit-was on my way down with a destroyer charging in on me. I managed to evade after an hour, came back up, made an end around from the other side of the convoy and sank a whale factory ship (biggest ship I've sunk so far) and a medium tanker. Slunk away on the surface this time-the escort had no clue where I was, just a bunch of searchlights and star shells off in the distance as I made my way from the convoy with all my eels expended and home.

Even after a slight hesitation about neutrals in a convoy, none of the ships I got were neutral. Next time, I won't even pause before I shoot a ship in a convoy.
