River Class Frigate

[Ducimus]

I'd not get pedantic about the ship classes in SH4 at that level. There are Type=0 through Type=4 that will behave as escorts. The principal use of the types in this case is to use random types if you desire in a campaign, but perhaps broken down by operational function.

Thats my thoughts on it. Besides, what type you assign a ship (corvette, frigate, DD, DE, etc) makes no difference at all to the game. Contrary to most modder sentimate on it, im acutally in favor of "generic" entries in MIS layers because it makes the layer reuseable, and easier to apply mass changes in a txt editor if needed. Particuarlly now that ubi's created "super BB's and "elite transports". Now you can use generic entires such as "genric battleship" or "generic troop transport" and not have to worry aobut umpteen yamato's or ocean liners spawning.

WIth some creative uses of corvette, frigate, or DE ship types, you can also make some unique units that only appear in select locations and still be able to use generic entries of other escort types elsewhere. I love how ive made an super uber Destroyer of submarines that appears in only one location for fun, and not have to worry about him entering convoys. (not so fun)
