Neutral Convoy

This has always been the case so I suppose the answer is 'stock' and not an actual improvement.

And what will the status of the convoy be if the lead ship is sunk?

I have noticed that after the lead ship is sunk, the convoy mills around for a bit, then reforms with another ship taking the lead ship spot. The convoy will then assume that ships nationality status. Wait until you run across a convoy with the lead ship being a German submarine. I have found more than one of those.

If the lead vessel is a submarine the square convoy icon will become a circular one...green in colour for German and red in colour for what is usually a British S Class. Of course the colours will only be viewable if you have that setting or mod enabled.

Actually it is a blue circle for German, green is for neutrals.

You are very correct

Neutral convoys with enemy ships in them? That really changes things. Every time I've received a contact report for a neutral convoy I ignored it. Now I'll have to go check them out. Let the fun begin.
