IMPORTANT! UNINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSION BEFORE NEW ONE!

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO RUN THIS MOD WITH OPEN HORIZONS II FULL OR BASE W/ SHIPS.

These units may not appear in the campaign, and if they do they will be very rare. This mod does, however, provide good single mission material (i.e. scuttling of the French fleet at Mers-el-Kébir, sinking of HMAS Sydney, etc.)

CHANGELOG:
v.0.0.01: First release
v.0.0.02: Added Free French, Kriegsmarine and Norwegian ships, assigned better stand-in for Bretagne class battleship (Now New York class).
v.0.0.03: Added Polish Destroyers.
v.0.0.04: Added Free French ship Félix Roussel.
v.0.0.05: Added Soviet Navy ships.
v.0.0.06: Deleted stand-ins, replaced them with modified/cloned units.
v.0.0.07: Added Kongo class Battlecruiser.
v.1.0.00: Bug fixes
v.1.0.01: Added IJN Midget Sub.

Cool. My grandfather served on a destroyer, never asked him its name though.
Maybe your father and my grandfather were on the same ship!

The new missions are of particular interest.

As you can see in post #1, this mod uses units from the stock game as stand ins for different types. However, I would highly appreciate any help from experienced modders to make brand new 3D models. This would allow me to add an entire range of minesweepers, minelayers, destroyers, battleships, battlecruisers, aircraft carriers, patrol craft, and submarines to the mod. Thank you!

Hey, can anyone tell me if this mod is working with JSGME?

No. I installed it on patrol and noticed British LSTs in some convoys.

To check if the mod is working, look for the listed units in the museum!

Not exactly: Uekel has inported many new units to SH5. What Cybermat47 does is cloning yet existing units to mimic the existence of ship classes not featured in SH5.

By doing so you can only change few aspects of the cloned ship (max speed, equipment, camouflages, etc.), but her appearance will be the same as the original one, since they both share the same 3D model.
