[Correction] Kongo class
 

The Kongo class sea data is incorrect should be this: They forgot add the Kongo's sisters.

[Unit 4]
Name=IJN Kirishima
DOC=19140101

Didnt the Kirishima get sunk before the end of the war?

Do the names matter? Meaning if there is a call in a mission for a Kongo, or Generic BB, and the name is struck, will it still make a Kongo?

tater

Only the Haruna made it to the end of the war - well sorta - she was sunk in the shallows of Kure harbor by Navy a/c.

Both the Kirishima and the Hiei were lost during the battles around Gaudalcanal in 1942.

Barkhorn.

Hmmm
 

I think if there in only 1 KONGO there will not be another...not sure..I was just up dating the file to correct it...

What file is it that needs this correction ?? my G:\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Sea\NBB_Kongo librarys NBB_Kongo.cfg file looks like this..

correction
 

the sisters mate...they were not added...not a big deal...but working on something

I'm not sure this file is used at all.
Look in the log, you always get the internal names of the ships instead of individual ships. I suppose some link or text string to these roster files is broken somewhere.

OK mate
 

theres a line for frequency...if is a 1 then the ships appear with that...if it is 4 then 4 ships will be present with name files...atleast I think so...not sure...
if this is not the case then why name all the ships>>>like the merchants...DD's and so on...

the file in question is

Data\Roster\Japan\Sea\BBKongo.cfg
