Hilfskreuzer and Armed Merchant Cruiser Mod

**My computer is working again, however I have lost everything. Work on this mod will begin tommarrow**
Im working on a major mod to make the famous German Hilfkreuzer(raiders) and the British Armed Merchant Cruisers(AMC). Im going to release 3 AMC's, 8 Raiders. Since the raiders and AMC's are not already in the game I have taken the ships that look the most like them and edited them(change stacks, cranes, cargo, etc...). so the ships are not exactly the same as their real-life counterparts. Also the guns in the game that match the ones in real life are large, some of the smaller raiders have smaller 5.5in instead of 5.9in guns, still these guns are in no way hidden, they stick out(I am trying to fix this). For some reason my ships DO NOT work with PE3 submarine pitch and roll. I am trying to fix this

AMC
AMC Jervis Bay (WIP)
AMC Rawalpindi (WIP)

HK Pinquin (WIP)

EDIT: I am currently working on the campaign files for my Kriegsmarine Mod, after I finish that, the campaign files for this mod will be complete. Then I just need to finish the ships and after that the Beta will be released!!

The ships should be done by next week, however I need some help on:

1) How do I change the start years for the game for the German side?
2) How do i make the ships start in Germany and in England?
3) How do i make more than one playable ship avaible?

As in real life the ships will be patrolling the Indain and South Alantic Oceans.

Thank you so much.

[Atlantis]

Not a problem! I cant help with the game modding questions though, I know nothing of modding. I might be able to track down images of the AMCs if you need those.
