They will show ingame as the RND does call for generic type=4 ( destroyer ) entries

If you fancy a challange you can open the SCR in note pad and in the find function type in
HMS E and hit find

After a couple of HMS Eskimo ( Tribal class ) you will come across HMS Esk which by looking thru the roster cfgs of this mod you will find was an E class destroyer

[Group 26.Unit 2]
Name=HMS Esk
Class=DDV&W
Type=4
Origin=British

Change to

[Group 26.Unit 2]
Name=HMS Esk
Class=DDE&F
Type=4
Origin=British

There are many instances such as that in the SCR - when I added any new scripting I always tried to use the real ships names just incase that model came available at a later date
As in this case

Hit find again and next one in the list is


[Group 43.Unit 28]
Name=HMS Escapade
Class=DDCClass
Type=4
Origin=British

again HMS Escapade was an E class destroyer

Further 21 records of an E class after that one

Similary searching for HMS F will bring up 4 F class DDs that can be reclassed

HMS G will yield 5 replacements and so on

Always remember to cross check with the roster cfg for the actual ship names of that class as many destroyers names may begin with letters but not of that class ie Eskimo (tribal not E class ) Ghurka ( Tribal not G class )

Hello,

bringing the destroyer into the game is kind of a nightmare. As BBW stated, the scripted layer can be edited but most of the destroyers appear within convoys or battlegroups. It requires editing of all the respectives entries.

An alternative could be to replace NDD_C&D and NDE_River by some of the new models.

@sailor steve:
Right, the maple leaf flag was introduced later and RCN ships were flying the White Ensign during the war. However, towards the end of the war, RCN ships sported a maple leaf painted on the sides of the (aft) funnel, usually in greyish blue. I made the River Class ships having the funnel mark from the start.

Cheers

NDE_River not in GWX
Was replaced by the River class frigate

Ah, gotcha! Actually that's pretty cool!

Hey frog, that's a lot of nice-looking ships you've got there. Congratulations.

Hello!

Instead of littering the forum with another thread, I just use the existing one ...

... so, here's an add-on to the destroyer package:

The Vasilefs Georgios class destroyers of the Royal Hellenic Navy, built in the UK on base of the G class, were armed with German guns, making them uniques crossovers.
I produced a model representing them. It comes with several library files, including the gun_SB files created by Sergbuto (the big mods have them already). The 12.7 cm gun has been converted from SOM group's SH4 mod "Battle for the Baltic". For details, please read the documentation file.

Nice! Loving the last batch of destroyers, and I'll try this one out!

I've just noticed that in the Ship Names files the E&F and G&M listings are identical. Both have the G&M names only.

Hi, the Frog

As you may know, I usually take any newly released SH3 ships into SH4 for my own use, and this one is no exception. But I'm stuck with the Greek destroyer.

In nod X01 of the Vassileff Giorgios there should be a 3inch_platform, but none of the libraries included with the download have this object. Is it part of an original SH3 library?

Thanks for your help

EDIT: Just found the object in the Guns_UK.dat. Now I need to discover why it doesn't show up in SH4. Apologies for the stupid question.

May sound silly but did you check for the platform to show up after June 41? Before, there should be the aft torpedo bank.

Yes, I know that the 3in gun substitutes one of the torpedo tube sets. The thing is that the 3in gun was hanging in the air .

After some thinking, now I know what happened. Adding an extra blank line at the end of the .eqp file did the trick.




Thank you again for another wonderful ship!

Did I forget/remove the end mark?
