There is a small window where french vessel are valid targets but oct 39 is too early.

The Franch are valid targets from 03/09/39-25/06/40, and 23/10/44-14/08/45.

Another tough thing about getting a good I.D. on a ship is the 3-color similarities found in many flags & trying to be sure of what looks orange, red, blue or green.

Early sea trails of this latest U-boat component; as depicted below, have been proven effective.
The BdU has commenced to order the retrofit all U-boats upon arrival to their home ports.
Express orders have been announced for all boats assigned to regular patrols of the French convoy routes & perimeters.
We appreciate your continued cooperation with this immediate concern to "uncork" the bottleneck of suspected Allied merchant ships of champagnes, corks & ping pong balls.

Yeah, I fell victim to that once. Saw what I thought was a French flag (early '40 IIRC) at night, relied only on what I could see in the scope (no external closeup view), let 3 torps loose. It was Belgian-in poor light the two flags look virtually identical-something about the limitations of the color cones in our eyes in low light levels. Of course if I had paid attention to the fact that the bugger was lit all up like a Christmas tree...

I wouldnt rely to much on the info in F1. Since sunk a french med cargo SE of Brest getting a malus for downing a neutral i refrain from sinking french units until they allies with the US and Brits late in the war.

U could test it by giving it a chance to ram u. If its a neutral it will do anything to avoid putting a dent in ure hull.
