Default Sunk own ships message and campaign failure

Hi,

On my first mission playing US with FotRSU mod i sunk two mechants. These were japs as there was huge Japanesse flag on the side of large transport in the convoy. I completed all the tasks and headed back to Pearl Harbor. Once i ended the mission i got a message that i sunk… own ships and I am arrested. Campaign failed….

Anyone experianced such problem or have idea how to solve it?

Other question: how to ultimately finish the mission if i skipped the Mission End pop up on harbor entry? I skipped it as I wanted to dock by myself and then when i clicked Exit to Menu the mission failed due to „user exit”.

Thanks in advance.

Kris

Sure it wasn't:

(Happened to me - in a large convoy, off the coast of Japan. Once.)

Skipping the pop up asking if you want to refuel/resupply, dock... instead of exit you'd want to select dock.

On the screen, top right high side corner... there should be a anchor icon in a box... clicking on that icon should reopen up that 'Mission end' pop up & allow you to chose dock.

Hope this info helps...

ahoy Kris,

my question is along the same lines as Arlo's.
could those two vessels have been hospital ships which are actually neutrals no matter what flag they are flying?
were the little ship graphics
green? or do you have that option turned off?

Thank you all!

Yes, it could have been that ship…

Does it mean entire convoy is untouchable or i just must avoid red cross type units?

Kind regards,

Kris

Just avoid the 'red cross' ones (medical ships). They are protected by the Geneva Convention. Even the Japanese ones. (Some may find that ironic but it's not, really.)

Ahoy, KrisJot...

All other ships flying an enemy flag, are free range targets and you are free & clear, to engage... red cross type units... are... Verboten.!

Under penalty of immediate court martial & summarily execution...
that is all.
