was surprised to see that many of the DD escort in 1941 for Japan are rated 0 and 1.. not even competent!

OUCH. I curse myself for not having thought of that. Oh yes, time to open up those MIS files in wordpad and start doing Ye old find and replace on the crew ratings. essssh.

So Ducimus, what do we have here???

Crew rating effects how responsive the AI is.

Unless it's changed, AI crews are rated from 0 being the poorest, to 4 being elite. It was pretty much established from Sh3 that crew ratings 0 and 1..well.. they just suck. Poorer then poor. On the same note, 4 is often, "too damn good". Most crew ratings you see in Sh3:GWX are 3's as i recall.

It's an easy fix. Wordpad is a great modding tool . (So is winzip beleive it or not)

I downloaded this and it seems to work quite well, but I get the impression from reading the post at Simhq that all he's modifided was for 1941. Will his modifications continue through the rest of the war? Is this the answer to the poor AI? Are you including this (changes to crew ai levels) in your mod? Thanks...
