Completely understood. If I use the Type=103 call, then all of the "Generic" calls in the game will put the MomiII vessel in the bucket to use for those. I do not know how many hundred of those calls there are throughout the game, but it's a lot. We almost eliminated the Type=109 calls from the game for v0.72 (back into pending status - fingers crossed), so now the Conte Verde should be RARE. There are even fewer Generic calls for Type=109 ships. Therefore, you usually see Conte Verde only when they are asked for, and MomiII when they are asked for. Here's what the MomiII attempt to emulate:

The IJN was using regular DD as the Tokyo Express, which was taking them away from their intended use. So they took some of the older DD, grounded some of their gear and put lots of equipment, men & food on their decks. Then they later purpose-altered some for the Fast Transports, sort of like what the US did with the Clemsons that they cut into the APD Manley class. While they did travel in some convoys, they usually hung around the terminals where they were used. The only time they went back to home waters was for heavy repairs or re-assignment (usually). We are a bit early in bringing them into the game's "war", but we don't have anything else to use that is similar. When v0.72 comes out, pay attention to the traffic in The Slot (especially at night). That's the main area where they will be used in FotRSU, along with the Aleutians. In v0.71, there's the same groupings, but not as much "support" for them...
