Yes and yes.

If it's a grey sunken ship icon, you weren't responsible for its demise....as you have already stated, it was probably the weather, but it could also be mines or air attack

@Gezoes

If your playing GWX2.1 you might want to give the Q Ship mod a go.

Tis always another way to end a promising career early.

The Granville type freighter is one of the ships that sinks too easily in bad weather. Try my sinking ship mod if you don't want the weather to steal your kills. This mod slightly adjusts the mass/displacement ratio of nine ships, including the GTF, which tend to sink in poor weather.

Mod is GWX and JGSME friendly, and I have had no reports of it fouling up something else in SH3.

I suspect that as well. But I remember the vertical tricolors. (geez, can't the europeans be a bit more imaginative in their flag designs?)

Yeah....why can't they all just adopt the Union Jack :p

Now you mention it, France's flag is rotated Dutch flag, Belgium flag is rotated German flag.

But for what Wikipedia is worth:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag

The Tricolour of The Netherlands is the oldest tricolor, first appearing in 1572 as the Prince's Flag in orange–white–blue. Soon the more famous red–white–blue began appearing — it is however unknown why, though many stories are known. After 1630 the red–white–blue was the most commonly seen flag. The Dutch Tricolor has inspired[citation needed] many flags but most notably those of Russia, India and France, which spread the tricolor concept even further. The Flag of the Netherlands is also the only flag in the world that is adapted for some uses, when the occasion has a connection to the royal house of the Netherlands an orange ribbon is added.

:p

Hmm. It's always been my understanding that the basis for the red, white and blue of the French flag was that of the United States, as the French tricolour was adopted for their revolution. That said, the original Stars and Stripes was actually thirteen stripes with the small Union Jack in the field, so our red, white and blue was taken directly from the British.
