Looking to add "Convoy College", the training for night surface and group tactics to the New Construction 43 in TMO RSRD as well as for pre patrol training in 43(when formal training program for night surface and pack tactics started) This would involved intercepting a friendly convoy and making mock attacks.Now, could just put US convoys in and have player shadow them as player would have and make mock attacks but where is the fun in that.Then again, cant attack friendly ships without losing your career.This made me think about parkers tin can 1 in the new construction careers.It's unarmed but can be sunk.That would be great, but would like it to fly a US flag, yet still be an enemy.This way it'd react if it spots you etc but wouldnt start firing at you.Perhaps just put a spotlight on there(in RL training, they would put a spotlight on the sub they detected and sub would be considered lost as the light simulated gun fire)

So how would I go about replacing japanese flag on parker's tin can with US flag, is this possible to keep it an enemy unit while having a friendly flah? Would need to do this to a couple merchants also.Thinking perhaps for "live fire" training in this, the convoys will be "dummy" ships can fire at.

Already started on practice of firing torpedoes at a DD, setting them deep so they run under keel, no risk, if they run under, you got a hit(this is how they trained for submerged attacks in RL) Friendly DD's will react to torpedoes, try to dodge them etc.

Just some ideas definitely want to fold into the mod, but need some help on this.Thanks in advance.
