This is wierd, these are the closest match. The NCA_Northampton is an addon but the sil tga shows only 1 set of guns to the rear:

The NCL_Fiji is the closest but this is a standard unit .... I think:

I just checked the museum & Fiji displays ok, what would cause it not to show on nav or attack map, or not lockable, very puzzling!

Any ideas welcome?

Hi!

Well, the flag indicates it is a Royal Navy cruiser, so it's not likely a Northampton-class cruiser. It looks to me like it could be a Southampton-class light cruiser if it is not a Fiji-class light cruiser.

It is 200% Fuji-class.

NCA_Northampton looks like the one from SH4. I thought I read somewhere that GWX does not use SH4 ships in principle.

It doesn't, but they're available from independent modders.

The more ships/units or other new stuff one adds to SH3, the higher probability for getting strange effects due to the engine design demanding unique digital IDs for most things.

Yep. That's why we run a checker tool to ensure that hex ID's are unique, and to ensure that other elements do not suffer from oversights.

@ Pablo, not Southampton, the funnels on that are sloping back!

Bit of an update, 99% sure it's a Fiji class, I couldn't lock due to the fact of it being dark I couldn't see the damn thing, once I got close enough I could see it through the scope, still not shown on map, now as soon as I locked on, it showed on map, by this time it's too late to set TDC, any clues?

Edit: One other important thing, all hydraphones lines are there for all ships including DD's but not to the cruiser.
