Yes, it'd be a fair bit of work but it can be done. Another (less taxing) route would be to simply upgrade the offending textures with a better skin pack.

Here's one you can check out:

Yeah...just re-skinning is not enough.

The stock merchant models themselves are just terrible.

To be clear, I'm just talking the MERCHANTS...I've never been bothered by the stock warships....while not perfect by any measure, they are at least decent.

It just seems as the developers ran out of time and rushed the merchant models....which is ironic because *THESE ARE OUR PRIMARY TARGETS!!*

The models in Iambecomelife's Merchant Fleet Mod are magnificent. 1000x better than stock. I know there are many difficulties in getting his complete mod to work properly because of memory issues/limitations.

But surely if someone were to pick the appropriate ships from MFM to 'take the place' of the stock merchants the game would be improved tremendously!!!!

I have tried to do this myself but....alas it is not as easy as it seems because of the campaign scripting.

Is anyone willing to try & make this happen???

Hi mate,

The HAHD team is redoing all ship in the detail you can already see the detail in the Fletcher destroyer and some fishing boat and very soon i will post the new HAHD C2 cargo in the detail.

We are not only reskinning we redo the whole thing to match their real counterpart.

Best regards Hans
