How to edit ships tonnage?

[Beery]

Ve haf vays of stopping all criticism!

I dont know if any1 is aware of this but in each ships sim file is an entery for their tonnage.
Funny enough tho, its under MASS, not displacement !

excert from the C3 sime file:

GC......SD......mass...hF....gc_height... A....fr_ratio....?....put_on_water..M...Surfaced.. ...displacement.........draught.33.A....drag

It wont effect you tonnage tho since thats taken from the cfg files. I just thought it be a nice lil bit of FYI thingy

The 'mass' value works in conjunction with the 'impulse' value of the torpedo to give the behavior of the ship when a torpedo hits the ship.

As a general rule, this value should rarely need changing if at all.

Has anyone ever considered the T3 and T2 displacements as being way off. If the T3 is correct about 11,800 tons then how can the much smaller T2 be 10,800 tons.
Look at the dimensions.
The T3 is 190metersX 30.3 X 10.7 draft.
The T2 is 152.7 X 18.8wide X 9,5 draft.
Now consider the C3 which is 150X21X 9 and displaces 7,900 tons.
I am sure you can see the T2 is close to the C3 when the things are averaged maybe a hair lighter so if the T3 and C3 are near correct then wouldn't the T2 be about 7,500 tons????
Now look at the small merchant and small tanker. The tanker figures about 50 percent over that the KSS does at 2,300 tons so that would be about 3500 tons.
Does anyone have the calculations to figure displacement? If so an analysis of the ships would be interesting.
