D, there is only one DE in the stock game and GW added a Brit version of a US DE so you would not notice anything odd with DEs. It is DDs that are AFU. Making type 4 generic allows for DDs that would never escort convoys to do so and allow DDs that would never escort a task force to do so.
So, Type 4 should not be generic, IMO in the RND.

In fact, SH3 devs should have made what was what by dividing them into warship escorts and convoys escorts to allow more accurate placement. Since they did noy bother to place the ships in the correct classes anyway.

Making the coastal stuff type 104 means they only appear in coastal waters. There are no type 104 in convoys. The RND file ask for type 104 generic in almost every case.
Nothing else need be done to make that coastal tanker a 104.

Unfortunately, that is not the case for changing the Hunt class from a type 4 to a type 3.
Can someone explain why warships can not be easily reclassed whereas the coastal tanker can by the simple edit?
