Indeed, there is no "campaign" or other files that say me that the ships are inclued on the game. Just "library", "roster" and "sea" so will i see the ships (sailing alone or in convoys) in game with just instal the mod with JSGME?

Tthere are other modules or older versions to be installed with?

Roughly speaking, in campaign files there are two ways to set ships within convoys and task forces: a specific class of ships (Liberty, Victory, C3, etc.) can be selected, or a generic entry can be used instead, where only ship nationality and type (cargo, passenger, tanker, etc.) is specified. This second method, which is by far the one most commonly used, ensures that any new ship added to the game will spawn in convoys, as far as it is in the roster of a nation with generic entries in the campaign files

Ok, so i have just to unzip it in "mods" folder of my game, and enable it with JSGME.
Nothing else to do and i will see them?

Sorry to insist, I am not certain of my understanding of English

If memory serves me well, there should be a mod by Sailor Steve doing exactly that. Sailor Steve is a naval expert and he has gone through an extensive research for this mod, trying to match every ship in MFM with a similar group or class of real ships that have been active during WWII.

There have been several versions of this mod. I hope this is the correct link for the latest version:

It features additional paint schemes for the ships inclueded in MFM. I think Iambecomelife has set the new skins for alternating randomly with the original ones, but I am not 100% sure on that: better waiting for the reply by some other subsim mate (or by Iambecomelife himslef)

Link is correct for latest version of ship names.

The MFM skins are best handled by SH3 Commanders date function, because there are folders that change the skins by date during the early war period up through early 1942, after that there are no changes. The changes can also be made through JSGME but, it is easier through SH3 Commander.
