I have a better idea - with GR2 magic the navy fleet may shoot torpedoes (by import SUB to DD format).

trying to do that trick like was done in SH3/4 is going to be tricky if not very hard to do. Reason is if you make the DD into a sub (type is now sub and not ship) it's AI will change to sub AI. sub AI is nowhere near ship AI. So basically it will be a very dumb DD and probably won't be any fun (it will have all the problems the current sub AI does).

If a GR2 exporter is created then I will definitely modify the Merchant Fleet Mod ships for Silent Hunter 5. Then, once my World War I mod is well under way, I want to use the SH5 ships as the basis for more detailed freighters to replace the Merchant Fleet Mod - after several years, my ships are showing their age.

The modern cargo ship looks very nice. I agree that the lack of different merchant targets has been a serious problem for Silent Hunter 5 from the beginning. If SH5 is like SH4 then it can handle huge numbers of ships (unlike SH3, which begins to CTD once you have a roster of about 300 units). It's a shame that adding new ships has been so problematic for this game.
