Well yes and no
Denotes not just the port but all the shipping too
Ports are easily fixed using the common mis
I
think was only changed this way - previous SH titles those countries were Allied or neutral - because the HistoricalBases.mis doesnt work as intended
From the Common.mis - has all bases and nodes
[Unit 65]
Name=Lorient
Class=NavalBase
Type=407
Origin=France
LayerOperation=0
Side=0 < has France neutral thoughout war
Commander=0
CargoExt=-1
CargoInt=-1
Doctrine=0
CfgDate=19390901
MainEquipment=1
SecondaryEquipment=1
DeleteOnLastWaypoint=true
DockedShip=false
IsEscort=false
GameEntryDate=19380101
GameEntryTime=0
GameExitDate=19451231
GameExitTime=0
From the ** Historical Bases mis - all project folders have one of these with the name replacing the **
[Unit 3]
Name=Lorient
Class=NavalBase
Type=407
Origin=German
LayerOperation=0
Side=2
Commander=0
CargoExt=-1
CargoInt=-1
Doctrine=0
CfgDate=19400601
MainEquipment=1
SecondaryEquipment=1
DeleteOnLastWaypoint=true
DockedShip=false
IsEscort=false
GameEntryDate=19400606 < At this date this entry is supposed to overide the one above
GameEntryTime=0
GameExitDate=19451231
GameExitTime=0
But by changing France to neutral in defside that French bases should still show blue under German occupation but as from the pic below they dont
So I guess the simple way was to make those countries part of the Axis
But as posted above Norway for instance - as an Axis country ingame - receives 2 U class subs from Britain AFTER occupation
[Unit 1]
Name=HMS Uredd
DOC=19411212
DOD=19430224
[Unit 2]
Name=HNoMS Ula
DOC=19430403
DOD=1965120
So it doesnt add up
Anyone down the line adding in Norwegian naval units ingame and adding them in historical context such as HNoMS Bath sunk while escorting convoy OG-71 as part of the 5th Escort Group will find an axis DD amongst the escorts
