DD Hermes in the U-boat: Battle in the Mediterranean release is taken from the Sink Them All mod because digital binary IDs of the 3D objects are identical. X1 people have only changed texture for the hull and gave 5-inch guns to the DD in the EQP file instead of 4.7 inch.

This intrigues me Serg.
I asked for DD Hermes for SW -Med.
They did not know about the ship at all. My (only) contact at Combat Planes asked me what it was and how it could be made. I told him it was a Brit G class (Included in SH3 C-Class) with some changes by the Greeks but close enough for the game.
He had it made (I have no idea who or what made their ships) received it and sent it to me (Jan 2006) I asked the guns be changed to the German 5 inch because the Greeks used the German 127MM on those ships as well as a few other changes which he did. I also asked it be classed a type 3 so it could be added without any chance of it appearing in the Atlantic (and other DDs showing up in the med)which he did.
The above question was mentioned to him (Sim HQ) that it was not his and he is actually perplexed as he was sure he had it made for him.
Who made it then for him?
Is someone selling him stuff that also offers it as freeware or is someone taking freeware and selling it to him. (that would be kinda funny)
This may be trivial but because I asked for it and I would like to trace this to the source and see where it leads.
Perhaps this could be done objectively?
