It works only with merchants in SH3 (not with warships).

many thanks and best regards.

For merchants, if the random group has a "Generic Cargo" in the group then it may select the ones you add, provided they are the same "UnitType". At least it is suppose to choose one at random. But if the ships in the group are specific ships such as "Liberty Cargo" then NO it will not replace them with the ships you add.
So if you check the groups with the mission editor and they have "Generic" ship in them then it can select any from that type.
