Akikazes are tough....howd you change it where its a regular escort?

You talking about Bungo Pete....I know it has an elite crew, lot's of charges, ect...not sure if it throws as many as Type AB. I never see it since playing RSRD, I assume it's gone.

Come to think of it, another ship I've never seen in RSRD is the Conte Verde..think that's how it's spelled, large pass. ship.

I took parts of TMO,RFB,OM and alot of smaller mods to build my install so i'm not sure what impact this would have on a TMO install. It would probably break the Bungo Pete Mission.

But its simple to change it back. Just open the Data\Sea\NDE_Akikaze folder and open the NDE_Akikaze.cfg and change the unit type from 17 to 4.

Then Open the Data\Roster\Japan\Sea folder and open the DEAkikaze.cfg there and change its unit type to 4 also.

This changes it from a DE to a DD and it will appear like the other DDs. If it breaks the bungo pete mission just change both files back to 17.

I think you've mentioned that you run TMO and RSRD, and while I can't speak for RSRD, I can confirm the Conte Verde appears in TMO. I ran into one a while back. Surprisingly well armed bastard. I underestimated it's guns.

As for it's disappearance in RSRD, I can only guess it's because the Conte Verde had only one ship used as a troop ship (iirc), and that was near Italy. No where near the pacific.

It may have be taken out by the auther of RSRD for that reason.

Really, I've noticed quite a few ships that seem out of place in the pacific. My guess it they're from earlier in development. Perhaps they were considering an atlantic campaign and finished a few models that they felt it'd be a shame to waste? Just a guess, btw.

P.S. There's a damn fly that's been buzzing around my head and PC screen while I've been typing this. It needs to die. In a fire.

You're probably right about the Conte, Lurker being historical as he is would've left em out.

Still, the Conte looks like the Taiyo Maru. I read a great book years ago, wish I could remember the title that told how it was used by the IJN to scout for attack on Pearl

"On 22 Oct 1941 she departed Yokohama for Hawaii with three IJN officers aboard to scout out the route the Japanese striking force would follow one month later on the way to Pearl Harbor. Also collected intelligence assembled by Japanese consulate in Honolulu. Sailed for Japan 5 Nov, arriving 17 Nov just in time for briefing of Japanese midget submarine crews. Sunk by American submarine Grenadier in the China Sea, 8 May 1942"

I bet those 3 had one heck of a time...Would make a good movie...

I've decided what I dread the most:

Planes. Don't care which type. Just planes in general.

Against destroyers, I can attack sneakily or only in favourable conditions. I can also fight back against them if need be.

Planes.... not so much. You can't really fight back against them, and if you use time compression, you will lose more boats to planes than anything else, as you get bombed and sunk before time compression drops and you get to yell "wtf?"
