MM, good idea. This was one of the first big, oops, that ain’t right from out of the box. And, using the Black Swan sloops as a model should be fine and Big is always a big help on these matters.
However, the present River, wrong as it is named, is still a very important ship as it is modeled. It is, in fact worn out DDs from A-H classes that were converted as convoy escorts. As much as what you are doing is great I would hope someone would make a clone, as it is now, and make a DE “A” class (Or “B” or what ever) without any modding required, model wise.
That would add another DE type which would make for more variation in convoy escorts that were the actual escorts. Fleet DDs, as nice as the may look, were not used in this role.
If I have a major disappointment in GWX it is while adding many nice new ships, they did not expand the DE types (making all three Hunt class DE clones would also have been nice, (I know Big, the are EDs:rotfl: ).
When generic classes are used in the RND.mis file it would have been a good idea to have a few to vary.
Still, you are spot on in correcting the River and giving it a proper model.
