Do attacked countries assume the quality of the enemy?

[geozero]

Reading through some other threads regarding neutrals I learned that if Germany attacks a neutral country (say Turkey) then the Turkish army units, etc. are of the same quality as the WA. Is that correct?

BTW are there any other resources or political points or anything like that lost when you attack a neutral country?

They only take on the qualities of their allies if they survive the initial attack (most don't given 3 month turns). Until then they have generic neutral ratings which aren't nothing great. No costs to attack neutrals at the moment, however that might change (but probably at most would be a charge in supplies). However, the things that are captured (resource centers, railroads are all damaged to level 2, and thus require supplies to get working again). Given free trade rules, it can take more to fix the resource centers than you get by having them as opposed to just taking the free trade.
