i think that according to the international rules mentioned above, sinking neutrals in an escorted convoy should not be considered piracy at all.
That would also go for neutrals found in the exclusion zone, i.e. neutrals found in places which mean it must be supplying Britain, although that's not made explicit in the cited message above.. In 1939 and early 1940, there are a lot of nowegian small merchants found sailing to and from british ports. Am I right in saying that in game terms, sinking neutrals in either of these conditions is penalised? Historically, were american and norwegian ships clearly trading with britain considered fair targets? If the answer to both these questions turns out to be yes, i might mod the files to let neutral tonnage and reknown be the same as for enemy ships and i'll just follow the correct rules myself. I've never yet sunk a neutral not under those conditions despite the intense provocation that a floodlit Linienschiff presents
