I'm in 1940 and even Brazilian ships show a red icon when Brazil is still a neutral country.

I didn't do neutral ships because the are assigned randomly, which means that names will not be applied to the correct times or places. Ships in the 'A' and 'B' categories are assigned names from the opposite sides of the Atlantic, 'A' being all North and South American ships, which don't enter the war until 1942. If the 'X' category is assigned names they would be generic, which would negate the reason I started the Ship Names mod in the first place, namely that I was tired of seeing names like SS President Jefferson (alternately a 7000-ton C-2 and a 14,000-ton liner) assigned to a little 1200-ton British coastal tanker in 1939. If I put names in the neutral category that would happen all over again.

It's also hard for me to address complaints about ship names applied to MFM as I can't check on those, since my computer won't run that mod and I've never seen it in action.

As to all ships in the MFM being enemy, you'll have to talk to IABL. I only supply names for SH3 Commander.
