When you look closely, all details of the WoWS model are wrong.

Many WoWs models are not 100% copies of the original ships. They're adapted to fit the game, sometimes very grossly.

It's very noticeable when you check the AA arrangements, for instance. Sometimes they even make up hypothetical refits to shoehorn a ship in a tier she was not meant to be in.

Another thing is that ships of the same class were not identical. This came up for me when modeling YMS minesweeper: when I started to browse photos for reference, every ship was different in some way - one funnel or two funnels, big rectangular vents or small round vents, steel bulkwark or just a railing, covered or open bridge, different placement for lifeboats, not to mention different armament

I mean, all the bright red areas are wrong :

I don't have GWX installed anymore. Could someone send me the GWX files (.dat, .sim, ... and textures) for the Evarts, Buckley and Butler destroyer escorts please ?
