Captured ships question

Are you using Merchant Fleet Mod? That's the only mod I know of that actually spawns some ships without flags, and I've also seen convoys with a mix of hostile and neutral ships, most of the time there's at least one neutral.

Only other possibility is if the flagless ship took some fire at some point and lost the mast the flag flew from. Sounds like they'd come to the end of their route, who knows what mischief they got into.

Why 0 ? Do you know how much does a torpedo cost ?

I set the renown value at 0,8 for neutrals.

Hi mates,

I received a contact report that placed a ship inside a fjord on the norwegian cost. When I arrived there, I saw a darkened ship, without flag and fired a couple AA shots (using a Type IIA) at it. Then it turned on it's searchlight and fired at my sub. I dove and waited for the light go out. I'm pretty sure it was a Dithmarschen class. What do you guys think? Should I sink it? I'm at Feb 1940.

Thanks,

Reed

I'd shoot. No flag is against the laws on maritime warfare and technically the Kriegsmarine should have notified you about any German covert operations in your patrol area.

Hi mate,

I shot and sunk it, and it registered as a neutral ship. Anyway, next day I received a message asking every u-boat to steer clear from the Norwegian coast. I wonder if it was a covert German operation and I (literally) blew it

.

I know, it was just a coincidence. But was funny, anyway.

Regards,

Reed
