It was ironic.
It was not the case. Mercy.

There are two clues in GWX that you might be about to embarrass your employers:

If using 'weapons officer assistance', get him to recommend your chosen target before firing. If he replies 'Cannot recommend target' then something needs to be double-checked.

The other, sure-fire, way to know you have torpedoed something you shouldn't is to listen to the crew's response. If they don't cheer the hit or sinking

, you need to start thinking of excuses to tell Doenitz.

There is a list kindly provided by the developers of GWX giving the start of hostilities for every nation you might encounter at sea during the war. Press F1 while in-mission and have a look.

I recently had a captain dismissed for completing three unsuccessful patrols (one of them pre-war). Got back to port and the sim wouldn't allow him access to the boat or crew management screens. At least you sank something.

Another clue is that time compression won't go very high if enemies are nearby.

But it sounds like attacking friendlies was not the OP's problem.

Ive had that happen sometimes throughout the war, I'll have a great patrol and 0 renown payout, usually if I go back to an earlier save and then complete the patrol it pays out then
