try this

plus going into the roster/british/sea folder
and opening the cfg files gives a possible concrete way to alter the type entrys to match any changes made in your missions etc and might help with any problems this creates

brief excerpt from the huntIII cfg

[UnitClass]
ClassName=DDHuntIII
UnitType=4
AppearanceDate=19410601
DisappearanceDate=19460101
DisplayName=BR DD Hunt III


changing both these entrys to the desired type might get past any "check" the game does when loading a mission etc---that's if it has any effect worth a damn anyway--


just in case you miss it in the above post--

if this doesn't work then the type entry is "hard coded" ( even now i still can't say that phrase without getting an involountary twitch-- a hang over from SH2) and will need deeper hacks to get at it---
