Glad you managed to do it by yourself!

If possible I would like to add realistic ships and planes specs to the list of features of the present mod.

Maybe you could take care of this aspect. What do you think?

unit_Ship => Propulsion => eng_rpm
(same group as max_speed)

Please note that Engine's max (max_force) force and max power (eng_power) can be set as well. Should we mess with these parameters?

Yes, please, do it!

fro their .eqp file

historical gun armaments will be an important feature of this mod.

Because I would like to correct the weak armour on the Graf Zeppelin and if I need to, others.

This is a bit more complicated.

For a start, there is a main armour setting, found in unit's zon file (ColisionableObject => ArmorLevel).
Moreover the same zon file contains information on the various zones placed around the unit (engine room, conning tower, tanks, ballast, propeller, etc).
Damage properties for each zone type are defined in Zones.cfg. Zone definition set in this file can be shared by several units. Among the various zone-specific properties, there are armor settings. Zones armor can be an absolute value, or a percentage of parent object's armor. In most cases parent object is the main unit itself, so main ArmorLevel setting is used as base.

I could go into details but since you are moving your first steps into SH5 modding, I am afraid I would confuse you. Just tell me if you want to know more

Adjusting unit's armor levels and creating new zones definitions will be another important part of this project.

So it would be really nice to add a option to remove the debris from smaller AA-guns, deck guns and cannons are still okay, the fire rate is much slower. Maybe revert back to stock settings (can't remember anymore the effect). This way we could get large battles without computers melting (maybe even port air-raids ).

I know TDW is a busy man, so maybe it could be added with this mod???

the idea is good, though reducing the number of debris, and making them to sink after a short while instead of totally getting rid of them, seem to me a better option.

In any case, I don't know where to start from. Can you start having a look at Fx Update, while we are waiting for TDW to come back and to give us some cue.
