Hi Josef,
to be honest, I don't want to carry the multipication to excess. Neither is it historically accurate nor do I want to see each ship sailing around with almost every flag available. Otherwise you might end up with German Flower class corvettes, because in 1943/44 three of them were brought into service by German Kriegsmarine. Or a proxy of the Revenge class battleship Royal Sovereign, since she was loaned to the USSR in 1944 and renamed Arkhangelsk. :D Know what I mean? By the way, swedish vessels are of no use as long as people haven't installed the Terrain Harbour Flags Mod, because the game wouldn't utilize them. But if you look at the first post of this thread you'll find a description of how to customize any ship type to sail under a foreign flag of your liking. It's quite easy, and I've done this many times for my personal usage (e. g. to get unarmed Irish trawlers, Swedish bulk carriers, Venezuelan tankers, Australian County class cruisers or even a Q-ship). P. S.: Next version of Additional Merchant Ships Mod will contain a Hog Islander conversion, because these ships look akin to several types of German freighters build in the 1920s, thus contributing to a realistic ambience. |

Of course. I respect that (..and even the Dale class tanker in US service?:D:arrgh!:) and I apologize for my idea, you´re right. Quote:

copy OLDale.cfg from \data\Roster\British\Sea\ to \data\Roster\American\Sea\ (provided that you've installed both parts of Cerberus62 Additional Merchant Ships 1.0) That's all. :03: |
Cerberus, can you mod the boat in the roster to appear also in the allied side? I'm talking about the Survivor subfolder in the Sea folder. Thanks.

The small boat show up only in the german roster, so if I wanna use it into a mission I cannot use it as an allied boat. In the game is also used only in axis missions like those with landing a spy and such.

Cerberus,
One other ship you may want to look into is the N3 mass produced coastal merchant: http://drawings.usmaritimecommission...gs_n_types.htm http://www.histarmar.com.ar/Vapores/...mm/08-N3-0.htm Currently its present in the British and US rosters (KSCSN3SA1.cfg), but only makes appearances AFTER September 1942. I don't have my ship ID books handy but I'm sure you can find something useful to substitute them for. Here's a shot of the in-game model (poor detail on the deck level, where unless I'm forgetting some weird detail hatches are supposed to be) http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/541/n3type.jpg |

Yes, it's possible to convert the SpecOps Boat. I'll attend to that. |

There are two alternatives: 1. Edit the \data\Roster\British\Sea\KSCSN3SA1.cfg by changing the appropriate line to AppearanceDate=19380101 Do the same for the other countries accordingly. 2. Install Cerberus62 Historical Ship Equipment 1.3 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...=175455&page=3), this mod will fix it. And you'll get an additional dazzle camouflage for the N3-S-A1 freighter. :yep: |
Aaah, I see now. You already fixed it in the other mod. Forgot to check there.

Ok, it works, thanks.
And no, it will not show in the roster if you copy the files to any other nation than British. But is no point in doing that .. now we have in roster a small boat for axis and ally too. |

True, sorry .. missed that.
But anyway, no need to put it on every nation folder once it is already inside a ally and axis side. They dont carry a flag, or any other identification marking. Thanks again. |
