Outrageous penalty for friendly kill

Canovaro · 07-31-07, 12:27 PM

I had a fair amount of renown (1500) when I sunk a german merchant for about 11,000 grt. Okay it was stupid, I know.

But the same patrol I sunk 25,000 grt of allied ships and the next patrol another 29,000 grt of allied ships.

I still have -400 renown, and although it was a stupid mistake to sink that German ship, I think the penalty in renown is outrageous!
I can forget about any upgrades let alone a new boot.

Sounds to me like you got off easy...

If it were realistic, you would've been court martialed, stripped of command and possibly served prison time or been shot.

Sink a hospital ship and see what happens! You defiinately got off lightly.

You're supposed to use your torpedos on the enemy............

U-333 also sank a german merchant. His commander, KL Cremer, was court-martialed but absolved, because the Spreewald (that was the ship) was in a wrong position.

I knew this story by a BdU message during a patrol. The last message said: "Cremer, Sie sind Idiot!":rotfl:

So I take it the Spreewald wasn't flying the German flag aside from being in the wrong position? Would you see his flag through the periscope?
