One problem with those ships, though - they show up in the game as 16000-17000 tons. Jane's Fighting Ships gives 17000 tons, but a The World's Merchant Fleets 1939 shows that this is the full-load naval displacement. The Gross Register Tonnage - what the u-boat captain who sank one would be credited with - was only about 8200 tons. I've changed it in my own Sea folder. What you do is up to you.
Anyway, install - as always - into SH3 Commander's Cfg folder.  |
Just wanted to say thanks but it wasn't me who provided the Warspite information. Don't want to take credit for someone else's research.
I just downloaded the update but FF tried to redirect to some real estate site twice. Had a bugger of a time gettting out of it; my browser froze up for a couple of seconds. Not your fault of course but may be you & others should consider uploading your files here or to BTS.
Thanks again for your hard work & research.
