The CTD on the recog manual was solved by checking my installation witht he original files.

It seems to me as if your installation still does not work properly.
Perhaps a complete de - and then new installation would be the best...

It may seem strange to you ... but it's not the DD's that can be dangerous to you.
They are the little ones ... the escort and patrol units - the kaibōkan, which you have to fear.

I think it is presented quite well and vividly within the scope of the possibilities of the game.

I just wanted to make sure my game was not bugged or something, So you
are saying you and anyone else have these DDs with absent racks too, and I'm not the only one?

According to the IJN mentality and the resulting doctrine, almost all first-class destroyers are designed exclusively as attack units, and thus, in the first war years, are equipped with defensive equipment only rudimentarily (ASW is one of the defensive measures).
Exceptions are only the multipurpose destroyers of the Akizuki and their subclasses.

Therefore, for example, auxiliary units such as obsolete destroyers, torpedo boats, ocean-going tug and fishing boats have been specially converted to ASW units and reclassified.
These units were sometimes relatively successful.

Example:
Here a destroyer of the Momi class, first declassified to the destroyer 2nd class...

Then rebuilt and re-classified as No.31-class patrol boat.

And the following units should be better avoided as a submarine commander... those are snappy.
