These answers are based on when we were working on .43 - .45 or so. If there have been any major changes to campaign files since then I don;t know about them but I am pretty sure there hasn't been with regards to the answers.

1: we started doing them but never finished. Norway stuff was partly there as is the Bismark. There are no messages - go by the historical dates and you should be ok.

2: Not in the stock RUB as far as I know. depending on your version there should be a add-in called 'Harbour traffic' which adds ships to harbours although this is probably ony for German ones, I can't actually remember. Again - for various reasons - we never got around to adding ships to allied harbours.

3: I would imagine that ShCommander overwrites the RUB one but you would have to ask JScones about this.

4: As far as I know, all messages are date specific so you won't ever get them if they are broadcast when your are between patrols.

5: The messages are separate from the files which control what countries are neutral. You can sink them but you will still lose renown. Radio messages are purely cosmetic - they are there for atmosphere and nothing more.

I think there have been advances in other mods that use RUB as a base since them for things like ships in harbour. Maybe try Rubini's 'Unified camapign which seems to be very popular, if things like operations and ships in harbour are what you are after.
