Using RSRD the best way is using wordpad.

Open your sh4
Go to your mods folder, find RSRD mod, open
data
campaigns
campaign

You'll find all your mis files by year, such as 41a Jap convoys. You'll have to open the ones you want to change, but for this, just open 41a Jap convoys, first one by right clicking, then open it with notepad/wordpad, either works...You see some mission parameter files, but go on down and look for file groups like this.

[RndGroup 1.RndUnit 1]
Class=NSampan03
Type=104
Origin=Japan
Side=0
CargoExt=1
CargoInt=0
CfgDate=19411201
No=6
Escort=false
SpawnProbability=100
CrewRating=2


You see the line that says CrewRating=2, that's the one, just adjust it, 3 and 4's are tough, with 4 being killer. After it gives you the group, you have to scroll through the groups waypoints until you find the next group, just change crew ratings. You can change cargo loadouts for merchants if you want using int and ext.

Course if you go through every file and ship that's hundreds of ships. I went through most years and adjusted a few to 4 for each group.

"TheTheDarkWraith_DC_Water_Disturbance_v2_0_SH 4" seems to work well with RSRD, helps a lil blocking sonar when a charge goes off for a few seconds.

It's best to uninstall RSRD from your mods first. Make the changes, then install again. If you have RSRD loaded as a mod, it overwrites files when you load it, so if you make changes after it's loaded they won't take effect, you need to back it out, make changes, then reload it so it can overwrite again with the changes you've made....make sense.
