USS ships

[emtmedic005]

Ok its Jan 1st 1941 and i think i destroyed three American DDs.
They were the USS Humphreys, USS Fox and the USS Thorton.

Now they appeared as red markers on my map and they were found of the coast of England before you enter the Channel. But when i looked at them with the External Camera i didnt notice an American Flag on them, just the British Navy Ensign.
So wat do u guys think of this

"Lucy chu got some splaining to do!" Sorry that was my Ricky Ricardo impression.

The Clemson class 4 stackers were the type of destroyers given to the British under Lend-Lease. SH3 Commander may just be giving them their USN names.

Thats why I asked what mod he was using

Ah I see from an earlier post you are using GW1.1 still which is why commander is giving you US names from the ship list
SH3commander doesnt recognise different nationalities and will just work from the top of the list down

In GWX there are no Clemson class in the British roster
There are Town class - which is what the RN called Clemsons

In the SH3commander Ship names cfg for GWX

[DDTown]
0001=HMS Chelsea
0002=HMS Bradford
0003=HMS Belmont
0004=HMS Ramsey
0005=HMS Leamington
0006=HMS Beverley
0007=HMS Mansfield
0008=HMS St Albans
0009=HMS Newport
0010=HMS Reading
0011=HMS Newark
0012=HMS Charlestown
0013=HMS Churchill
0014=HMS Leeds

The Town class cfg in GWX

[UnitClass]
ClassName=DDTown
UnitType=4

DisappearanceDate=19451201
DisplayName=Town Class

[Unit 1]

The only Clemsons ingame are US

The ones given to the USSR etc were all ex RN so called Town class

I use TGW1.1a, SH3 Commander.

Hmm the lend lease program, makes sense, the ships had the British Naval ensign flying but still had the US names, hmmm. I think Germany should declare war on the US early
