The major change is a complete rewrite of the “Single Merchant / Convoys” campaign layers that were originally in Phase I. Using the Senji Yuso Sendan Shi (Wartime Transportation Convoys History), by Shinshichiro Komamiya, RSRDC has recreated 1055 convoys from early 1942 to the end of war and rebuild all the single merchant and tanker shipping routes.

- Merchants are generally not armed enough. And it seems there are some that cannot be armed at all, like the "Hog Island type A", which comes far too often anyway.
Not so much the problem with the Hog Islanders themselves, except they could be renamed into somthing else as no original hog Islander served in the japanese merchant marine.
The problem is more that they're always unarmed.

Weapons loadouts on merchants are "stock" and I made no changes in that area. If you have "documented" weapons loadouts for IJN merchants I will be glad to look at them.
