Recognition mod

[UBOOT_fan]

How about creating a mod in which what you see on periscope TDC has a NAME, a UNIC one ? I read a thread where a guy explains that, the thread was about implementing SH4 ships with SH5 textures etc. Seeing that thread gave me this idea.
It will be helpful for the Happy Times campaign for example when you need to identify the war supplies ships or the first one where you are looking for the AMC ships etc.
I think it's stupid to make 4 ships which they look as one (liberty cargo) and make the game interesting not letting people to know which is which and keep guessing and losing time. That's dumb...


here the thread fragment and the link for who is interested to do that:

"Hope you succeed
Only the Devs could create 4 ships all the same from one model

KL=Large Steamer
KLWarSupplies=Large Steamer (War Supplies)
LL=Liberty Cargo
LLWarSupplies=Liberty Ship (War Supplies)"

This is bothering me right now, dunno why at Large Steamer it shows the Liberty cargo. This is wrong... :nope:

Why the Devs went the GR2 route I don't know. They basically cut us out of the loop to create new Ship models.
Guess they where going to go the money way and create addon ships that the end user would pay and download.
Like The Queen Mary Model that you obtain from Ubisoft Points :nope:.
I'm also guessing all the clones was due to the Devs running out of time amy wanting it to look there was more ships in-game than actually is.

In my UIs mod you have the option of displaying the ship's name in the scope box. It will say the type of ship until identified then it shows the ship's name. This text will display in the center of the scope right under or just above the ship.
