Thanks. Got it. Do you know of a direct link to the mod that I can post?

Also, if a ship is listed in the EnglishNames.cfg file (and the GermanNames and the FrenchNames files), and if that ship doesn't exist anywhere else in the game - will that cause problems? I.e. could we avoid problems by having these files list all ships from all mods, whether the actual ship models were in use or not?

I couldn't see why it would cause problems, it's really just a lookup table. If the ship doesn't exist in the game, it just means that the entry is never called upon.

Easily tested though, add a fictitious entry called "TEST=Test Ship" or something and then have a play. I'd be surprised if it failed.

yep, it does not cause serious problems. If a names entry isn't listet in the languagenames.cfg, the game takes the name of the ship.cfg in data/sea/yourship, for example "Ftboot" for the Flottenbegleiter or "CLDido" for the Dido cruiser.

But it would be good anyway, if all names-entries could be listed for pasting them into your languagenames.cfg. Many players may use different mods and different ships and when copying an other names-file they will lose their shipnames.

lets start

For the Flottenbegleiter the standard entry is

Ftboot=Flottenbegleiter

Other names that make sense:
Ftboot=Fleet Escort

Ftboot=Geleitboot (From 1941 on the Flottenbegleiters were called this way), or

Ftboot=Escort Boat

Vorpostenboot

Typ 36A(M) Zerstorer

Tirpitz BB

Are there links to them? I ought to make sure they're actual new models before listing them. If they're just re-named versions of existing ships (if they don't have a separate listing in the names file) they don't pose a problem.

They're in Gibs german navy expack1 thread further down.

They're all new units though the Tirpitz is just a cloned Bismarck with a different skin. The 36A is most modified, the Vorpostenboot is a Tugboat with guns and a new skin.

Thanks, C-911.

I have added this to my RND file for both convoys and single ships and it will also show up as a 103 spawn where no specific is called for.
Although I have reduced its tonnage to 6,000 tons like I have done to all the merchants to curtail the unrealistic scores. Even though my tonnage is generally about 40% what it would be if I did not do this it is still twice Kretschmer's average.
I know this is 18K demensionally but I do it to keep my score down to rediculous from impossible!

Thanks again for your fine work; it is much appreciated.

I don't actually know but my guess would be Serg has made the Greek Destroyer raised and repaired by the Germans and commissioned as ZG-1 but affectionately called "Hermes". Since the Greeks had 2 modified G class (The G is included in the SH4 C-Class) built for them by the Brits but used German 127MM guns it was easy to send down some ammo for it.
The carrier HMS Hermes would not be an easy mod for SH3, she was sunk by Japanese dive bombers in 1942
