You applied flags and pennant uising an AO map, right? Is Ch the pennant of the 2nd Churrura? And wasn't that a group 1 vessel (with old guns)? |
No, everything is painted on top of your skin. I had to tweak the 3D model and the original texture (a few portholes were deleted) so the other side doesn't look mirrored, and use it only for the Spanish ships. My idea was to paint the other side pennant somewhere else on the texture, but I found out there were no empty places
, so I had to use this solution.
Correct, CH is for Churruca.
Spanish Churrucas lost the gun between the funnels during the SCW (to arm the new units entering service), and it was replaced by a second 76mm in some cases, or some light AA in others. The shield of the 4.7in guns was changed to a full one after the war. Not a different gun, but just the protection for the crew.
There were a few more visual changes (Tripod main mast, rear mast eliminated, new director, funnel cap, torpedo tubes etc), but that would take much longer to do.
An example of a WW2 time Churruca, Almirante Miranda:
