What happens if you sink a neutral ship in GWX 3.0?

And I think this answers my question - you may not know whether what you sunk was neutral until you get back to port, right?

And thirdly, neutral ships escorted by Allied ships in a convoy are still neutral?

If you sink a hospital ship in GWX your career will end and you will be shot when you return to base. No kidding.

During that patrol I sinked only one ship which was neutral. I got positive renown.

After docking to port final scores showed it neutral.

It was about year ago. But I'm pretty sure I remember the situation correctly. I wasn't looking any flags because it was radio reported enemy convoy.
Be more agressive they say.

Time to cut wings from this rumour.

I sinked following ships:

Large Cargo 7441 tons
Modern Tanker 8816 tons (Neutral, sailing in enemy convoy)
Modern Tanker 8814 tons
Large Merchant 11 041 tons (to BillCar: hit from 3800m, confirmed, give or take some 10m. Doesn't beat your 4000m but close enough)
Whale Factory Ship 12 016
Coastal Freighter 1870
Empire-type Freighter 7401
S-class Submarine 767

Hull Integrity 94,69%
Total renown: 1510

Now if someone would tell me how to count renown in GWX3 so I can get this over with.

Or even better. Do the math for me so I can concentrate on my friday night patrolling

Look in the file Ubisoft/Silent Hunter III/Data/Cfg/Basic. You will see the exact renown applications.

Enemy: +1
Neutral: -1
Friendly: -10

Not a rumor at all. Doesn't matter if they are lit or not. Doesn't matter if they are escorted or not. If you sank a bunch of enemy ships and one or two neutrals, of course your overal score will be positive.

just did the math.

Maybe I should cut back my saturday hobbies
