Not sure -- Actually I think it's because of all the 'other' threads about some particular topic... anyway.
Your WaW experience is most helpful.
The neutral issue has been addressed since Monday when I stayed up until like 3 am and the Sunday before when I went to bed at like 6 am. I finally decided on up hacking Sergbuto's Nationality Mod v3.0 with some thoughts from him and others. I used the Chess set tool to unpack and repack the images and a hex editor to simply change the names to equal length alternates.
I was playing at whatever the SH3 default value is (reinstalled) and I had the silly ship contacts in realtime and they were all red, so I think it works. Although I think Norway wasn't neutral when I found that convoy. Anyway, it didn't crash and I double checked the RND layer and that ship was definitely one of my modified Norway ships and not a stock one.
So, yeah, it's fixed.
Check out the IC thread for that.
I'm pleased someone finally found an Arctic convoy. Those were my first. I can adjust the CVEs there. It would've worked better if silly SH3 actually had a close escort group feature, but it doesn't, so CVEs just show up in the convoy!
I didn't know there were still too many CLs and AUXs in the South Atlantic convoys. I tried to tweak that out a bit, reducing the levels by some 10 or 15%. It's in the changelog somewhere exactly what I changed them to. I can reduce them more, though.
It's good to actually have playtest reports to use, otherwise I had no idea what to do.
I'll do the spawn things tomorrow or Saturday night and release a new version. Hopefully I'll get to the Panama addition as well.

Oh, and no one's see any of my ITs yet? (Improved Task Forces...) I never had time to see if they actually spawn, although I got a contact report for on on my second test patrol on Tuesday but couldn't catch up.
