not sure about the capital ships the jap stuff was pretty individual looking-
perhaps the nelson would look ok..i'll check out the american BB's and the free french is there are any (similar looking)
here's a plus tho
just wrote a quick mission with the brit viib and added a convoy made up of three c2's (from the editor random group options list under japan) and three generic tankers...two things
one the generic tankers carried the jap flag...
two the contact report radio message i set it up to send was directed to the "Swordfish" and wasn't from BDU it just said
to Swordfish
convoy sighted etc
so those brit sub roster cfg entrys worked
needa map tho as theres only a lat long reference given ..makes life interesting scrabbling around for an atlas !
(gonna have to buy one methinks)
shame there wasn't any generic destroyers BB's carriers listed etc...but that doesn't mean it isn't possible to ad them by hand...just finding the name/type reference for the mission file..i'm guessing they haven't limited the generic ships to just certain flags? so add the reference for a genric BB change the origin to japan and with any luck it'll carry the jap flag and be accepted as japanese...with any luck... :hmm:
anyhuw no problems with the map in the pacific seems all there and working
no jap aircraft tho thats' probably going to have to be a repaint job..
i'll take a look at the capitol ships in the museum......smaller stuff i think the black swan frigate looks appropiate...and the Hunts look ok..
i'm no expert tho..any huw it's looking good for this sort of thing so far..
little bit more on the generic vessels
heres the convoy ships i used for the jap convoy merchants

unit one is the named jap merchant (C2 i think)
note it has a CLASS and a TYPE enrty..
the generic tankers (unit 2) only have a TYPE entry..
it's just a number..
Type= 101
with the
Origin=Japan
find the complete list on numbers for all the generic vessels...and i'll bet my bottom dollar that ALL of them will work as japanese showing the correct flag and in game nationality...
carriers BB's cruisers DD's the lot..maybe theres a generic aircraft allso?
i'll crete a mission using a set of generic warships and then copy the numbers over in to the jap mission and see what happens..if it works it's a piece of cake..
