Yes, this is because SH3 does not record the nationality of sunken ships. Hence, as SH3 maintains no record, SH3Cmdr has no way of knowing either, thus a name is pulled from a generic list created by a number of people (as you know BBW

).

As it currently stands, most merchants and tankers (excluding Liberty's and Victory's) pull from the same list of names. But there's no reason for this to be "set in concrete" - name lists can be created specific for any ship included in SH3.

That would be great.

My fear is that then the files might get a bit big, but if it can be done it would be really fantastic. Can we expect it soon(ish) ?????

Well as Jaeson said its a long tedious job
Ships such as the T2 etc should have there own names not come from a generic section - saying that Observer did a great job with the ship names to begin with

There MAY be something that can be done - say within the next 6 weeks :rotfl:

Let's hope so. Looks like Christmas is going by the wayside.
