This could also be done programmatically. Basically needs to replace all occurences of "American" for "American_Convoy" (if in Convoy). Ctrl-F / Ctrl-H might do already.
It can be done programmatically, but it also has to be done selectively... Meaning not all of the ships have to be changed.

Meaning someone has to sit there, picking and choosing which ships have to be changed. For thousands of entries, for dozens of nations.

Hi Marhkimov,

It is pretty easy for a programmer to solve. I am only saying this because I have basically done it. When I am done with parsing the .mis file, I only work with convenient classes like Merchant, Convoy, Taskgroup, etc, which then have their proper Units Collection.

So changing some lines to get the find/replace done is simple.

Hand editing it's a big deal.

Offering a tool that does it for everyone is an even bigger deal
