It works just fine , with an exception of few Brazilian and Panamanian merchants/tankers here and there...

It would be really nice if we could add those missing free nations in nations rooster (Like Brazilain, Panamanian. American ect...) Because it is really a matter of time when's game going to spawn British convoy protected by still neutral American escorts ...You can imagine what would then happen...

Okay, while we are still discussing your proposed changes to GroupTypeDefs.cfg, I will focus on other files, and I will keep on with my historical data research. There is much to be learned about convoy compositions from some common sources available on the web. For instance I have recently discovered that I was wrong in assuming that no Danish merchants ever sailed within Allied convoys. I am now searching for any "free nation" possibly missing from OH which should be featured in game, and setting their roster and allied/axis alignment appropriately. I have also reworked a bit OH's flags.dat, removing unused entries, adding a few new flags/nations, and adding to each flag the global wind controller required by TDW's flags-aligned-with-wind patch. Last but not least, I am creating the new campaign messages wich will provide the player with updates on any switching of sides and on valid ship targets.
