Welcome aboard, Herr Kaleun

install GWX 3.0 mod - you can use Flag recognition (“Schiffsflaggen”) quick reference sheet there

you need to switch to UZO or periscope (F3) view.There is Flag recognition tool in left upper corner of screen (pull it down for use).

At night, if a ship is dark, it is fair game; if the ship is traveling with lights, it is neutral; during the day, you must ID the vessel by approaching close enough to see the flag . Then refer to the chart or use F1 to bring up the table of neutrals.
If a neutral ship is guarded by a belligerent war ship, it is fair game, even if neutral, as is a vessel in a belligerent convoy.
Leave hospital ships alone; they will be lit and will have a large red cross.

Dark ships are not fair game.......watch out.

There is no renown awarded for patrolling your assigned area in GWX3.0 so simply ignore it and patrol another area of your choosing if you like.

But they were in real life, especially after 1941. If I encounter a dark ship and sink it, only to find out it was a neutral, I edit my renown to eliminate the penalty, if it has occurred. Often, though, it hasn't for some reason.

Wow...its not a arcade game..you have to hunt just like they did back in WWII.
Not every U Boat struck gold on every patrol,most did not see anything,thats what GWX is al'about..real patrols.

If you would like a FPS arcade U Boat shooter,try a rubber duck in the tub.

Speedo · 07-06-09, 01:07 PM
