Sept 1939

I've been guilty in the past of putting up some dumb posts because I did not read the screen carefully enough. So I reloaded a save and went back and checked the flag again - definitely a red ensign. Sank the ship and checked the closing screen carefully. It says "Allied Tonnage - nil. Neutral tonnage - 3,742" (or whatever the small cargo was). This was in the Welsh port of Merthyr on 18 Sept.

I think I have my own answer. You have to actually open and read the radio message of 3 Sept. I scrolled back through the radio messages, found the relevant message, read it and saved out. The tonnage nows shows as Allied. It appears I didn't read it when it came in. Sorry guys.

Listen to Jim he's correct

Don't worry about it and don't apologise. I was not aware of this trick as well

Me either, I always read radio meassages but if there would be one I'd skip it would be that one! Pretty much know what it already is.

But remember guys one thing about the radio messages. BE MORE AGGRESSIVE! Running ahead flank on the surface through Scapa Flow in the middle of a hurricane chasing a DD while 2 other DD's chase me but I am not aggressive enough! LOL
