[REL] Merchant Fleet mod (Onealex mod version)

[kyle9154]

Yes the englishnames.cfg was missing from the sea folder and that would cause a ctd, thankyou and I don't know how it got removed but its back there now if you'll redownload it from main link.
- Thanks again for spotting that

Just released new version, main link on first post has been updated.

-added OMBunyzun model from community units pack and named it Old War class oiler

-many names changed to historical ship classes based on their ship stats and appearance matching their historical counterparts using picture references for example:

Service oiler model renamed to T1-M-A2 type tanker - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T1_tanker

NOMRanger model changed to Ranger class tanker - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranger-class_tanker

OSHaruna to Ol class oiler - http://www.historicalrfa.org/rfa-shi...harbour-oilers

T1A to Leaf class oiler - http://www.historicalrfa.org/rfa-shi...f-class-oilers

OTMS and LTMS to 'Fleet replenishment oilers' because of their huge size of 190m in length, they were named T3 type tanker before but no T3 or T2 type tanker was that long in WW2, it wasn't until 1964 that they 'Jumboized' their old T3-SE-A3 tankers from WW2 for use in the Vietnam War.

Glad your enjoying it, I might look into adding more community units from SH4 pack like the C4 Cargo and a few others that are historical but am running out of ideas and historical merchant ship types/classes unless you guys can find more or give me any resources to use. Got them all in that i'm aware like Fort class cargo, ocean class cargo, all the c1,c2,c3 cargoes, could maybe use another c2 cargo variation but that's it. I could put in subclasses of the fort ships like 'Northern Sands type Cargo' but unsure at this time if I want too. All the T1's, T2's, and T3 tankers are in as well now, this is the source I use - http://shipbuildinghistory.com/merchantships.htm

There's ships that ALEX B has released that I would like to add to MFM 3.3 Onealex addition because Onealex hasn't been able to update his mod due to the war in Ukraine and he usually adds Alex B's ships to his compilation. I'll have to get permission first from him before I add any of his ships to the MFM mod.

New update for MFM 3.3 Lite Onealex version, link on first/main post has been updated, over 60 ships in this edition.

- Added AE 'Supply freighter', Lorina 'Small passenger/cargo', DD Gnevy class destroyer and DD Benson class destroyer from ALEX B's ship pack - all credits go to him, thanks again buddy.

- Added C4 Cargo 'C4 type cargo', DESKR 'DE SKR Class', DD Battle class destroyer, FS Egret class sloop and FS Grimsby class sloop from the SH3 community units pack

-changed name of AO01 & AO02 from Fleet oilers type 1 & 2 to Fleet oiler Kennebec-class and Fleet oiler Suamico-class

-few other name changes, changed Leaf class to 'Supply tanker', Ol class changed to 'Small oiler' and Ranger class changed to 'Support tanker' as their was only 5-6 ships in each class with only two in total sunk in WW2 and you see them far too often in patrols to be sinking many ships of those class. I kept the Dale class oiler and Cameron class steamer as they both had like 20 ships in each class with about 5-9 of them in each sunk by U-boats so it warrants keeping those two class names. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron-class_steamship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale-class_oiler

P.S. I better post this MFM 3.3 Lite update quick before it gets hidden under like 20 Mornar Brane threads lol- Just kidding buddy, I used some of your sil backgrounds as they were improved from the old ones very well done and the only thing I used out of your mod pack, some sil credits go to him
