Sunk neutral with no loss of reknown

The vessel was acting like a hostile: 1) no lights 2) using searchlight on you. That qualifies him as enemy combatant. My first GWX sinking was a supposedly neutral American munitions ship. It displayed no lights so I sent him to the bottom (11,000 tons

), which helped me get a VIIB :rotfl: :rotfl:

what i would like to know is that during the war at night when everything is pitch black how the hell did they I.D the targets?????

I think that was done by:
1. Logic and the intelligence reports,
2. Strict BdU orders as what is and what is not a valid target,
3. Shadowing the target for a long time,
4. Radio listening,
5. Ship's shape and noise.

But I can only imagine, how they did it, as I don't have any sources for what I just wrote. What makes me quite sure that I'm not much mistaken is the fact, that they actually sunk quite many of neutral ships "by accident".

As the war progressed, real neutrals painted great big flags on their hulls and had them spotlighted. GWX does a pretty good job with the spot lights on the flag. If the ship doesn't show lights, sink it!!
