Axis or Allied
Okay....been searching for this and can't seem to find a good answer or list...Mostly a SH4 player and finally decided to purchase SH5 (like many, was revolting due to the online requirements..
 ) , but I'm having a hard time finding a way to confidently identify "friend or foe" so to speak. This includes a simple list of nations flags and/or a list of who was allied/axis during what years. I've searched not only this forum, but googled the entire internet and either there is not much info or I'm just not using the right keywords. Either way, some help would be appreciated by pointing me in the right direction. BTW..am using most mods recommended by "Sober" at this time, except IRAI (used up my day's limitation of downloads  ). Generally I play with full realism, but currently have maps contacts on until I'm more confident and familiar with gameplay. My first campaign contact was "green" and assumed it was neutral and left it be. That's what got me searching to begin with. SH4 was pretty much a 'no brainer' when it came to friend or foe, but with SH5, I'm not as sure and therefore, seeking the needed info. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help, Soundman

Welcome aboard!
You're right about "green for neutral." Also blue for friend and red for foe. As long as you use map contacts plotted, that's all you need. Now as for later on, there is a whole flag chart included in TDW's NewUIs for your perusal. It's brought out by clicking the "charts" toggle in the upper right and then clicking and dragging it down from the top left corner.

Outstanding!! Wow! Thanks Misha, that's just what I needed. Was not aware of that chart....Pretty nice!
 However, one question.....The first ship I came accross was Finish and they (according to the chart) were allied later in the war, but axis beginning in around July of 1941. I'm still in 1939, so what do I do, leave neutrals alone or sink them? I'm assuming leave them be, but not sure what is best game wise.  Thanks again for the info.

Soundman,
Let me add my welcome also! If your are not yet using the excellent MOD, Open Horizon II (and patch), which adds a large dose of realism and immersion then I highly recommend it. Among many other things in the first campaign, Coastal Waters, which covers the period 03SEP39 thru 01JUN40 you will be constantly recieving messages from BDU, U-boat headquarters, advising you who is the enemy and each time that changes. Here's a link to both the MOD and the thread; http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=189818&page=60 Good luck and good hunting........... |

 Also, when Poland surrenders, do not shoot at them no matter what color they have, as it has been known to make the game crash.

Finchou! Sink her! She might be carrying contraband even if she is a neutral being that close to the UK.
If you get in trouble later just deny it....she must have hit a mine... |

Using open horizons 2. Today I sank a Finnish merchant, it was in the baltic operations mission. The date was 9/9/1939. It was scored as sinking an enemy vessel. Is this right?
If not why was it scored as a victory. Also, I would like to know if OH2 penalizes you for sinking vessels that are not enemy.

from the date he reported, I am sure that Stoli got a renown penalty for sinking the Finnish merchant. Nonetheless, if he did it a week later, he could have done it free of penalty. This is the reason: when I deviced the core of OH's DefSides.cfg, I added several "free" navies and merchant fleets. Likewise Free France, they got a different diplomatic posture than the one officially assumed by their country. In our case, an allied "FreeFinland" faction is set from 16 Sept 1939 (when the Finnish steam merchant 'Suomen Poika', carrying contraband to Britain, was captured by U-41) to 24 Jun 1940 (when Finland becomes a cobelligerent of Germany): Quote:
