So Apache, you are saying if I sink this hospital ship in SH3, that would be evil? And being an American playing SH3, beckons you to be evil, as well?

You do realize this post was about sinking hospital ships in a computer game, not in real life?

lol...yep, its a computer game. To each their own I say. I am not getting on anyone's case regarding their playing a game the way they want to...just noteing that ROE are something to be considered. I play simulators with diligence, but being evil is not in my person. I tried playing Fallout3 as evil and couldnt do it...even in a game. But as I said, enjoy. Just offering a difference in opinion...not suggesting that you molest cats. (Thats a joke..you can smile) Happy hunting.

Pretty much everyone would rather have you leave these hospital ships alone. The Kriegsmarine was quite touchy about the laws of war in some respect - Dönitz was more than annoyed when his Italian colleague told him that hospital ships make great weapons transports *wink wink*.

There were incidents of german submarines brining survivors ashore under the red cross flag... a practice which ended with the Laconia incident. Brief rundown: A German submarine sank a passenger liner that was modified for use as a troop ship but turned out to have mostly passengers and Italian prisoners onboard. Several submarines were ordered to the same spot for a rescue operation, all flying the red cross flag. After these came under fire from American bombers, Dönitz ordered that such operations were not to be attempted in the future, and there was bitterness all around (also about Dönitz' later conviction as a war criminal for giving that order. Most german submariners and quite a few allied naval officers felt it was unjust.)

So... definitely play nice until Septermber 42. Overreacting in the aftermath of that incident would be somewhat more realstic but the KM would not have condoned such blatant war crimes by their own reckoning.

The only enemy ships I spare are any under 500 tons. Would be kind of nice if the sim took into account how much shipping is taken down on either side and adjusted overall war victory to suit. Oh well. Not every game can play like a spreadsheet.
