Hi Jmack
I have installed the following:
CVGrafZeppelin=Aircraftcarrier Graf Zeppelin
BCGneisenau=Battleship Gneisenau
BBHood=Battlecruiser Hood
CAPrinzEugen=Heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen
BBRoma=Battleship Roma
AMM=Pyro Ammunition Freighter
RC=Rose Castle Ore Carrier
CVW=Converted Whale Factory

I use GW 1.1a and have had no problems just make sure you read the readme file and follow the install insurctions.
For the ship listed below to work you need to open the SCR File in the campaign folder and change a few things so they show up in the game.

BCGneisenau=Battleship Gneisenau
BBHood=Battlecruiser Hood
CAPrinzEugen=Heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen
BBRoma=Battleship Roma

To add the Hood change the following:
[Group 5]
GroupName=Hood (Revenge7) <-------- Delete the bracketed stuff
CommandUnitName=Hood
Category=0
RandStartRadius=0.000000
DeleteOnLastWaypoint=true
EvolveFromEntryDate=true

[Group 5.Unit 1]
Name=Hood
Class=BBRevenge <--------- Change to BBHood
Type=11
Origin=British
Side=1
Commander=0
CargoExt=-1
CargoInt=-1
CfgDate=19380101

To add the roma:
Open your SCR in notepad and find "Class=ItalianBB"

Change that to "Class=BBRoma"

I believe there are around 6 entries to change

Once you have changed these entries you can delete the ItalianBB from the roster of italy and the sea folder.

Before changing anything in the SCR file, Make a back up before you do and only while in port
Oh and remember to rollback SH3commander if you have already used it

hope this helps.

For the BCGneisenau and the CAPrinzEugen to show - the scr has to be changed in above manner too

One question, if I make changes to the GermanNames and EnglishNames.cfg's, will I have to start a new campaign, or can I just continue my current campaign from my home port ?

When I first installed Grey Wolves I transplanted the Hood, Ark Royal, Prince of Wales, Duke of York and Rodney models from another mod pack, the name of which escapes me right now...But I was starting a new campaign fresh, so no problems there.

As long as you are in port when you install ships\adjust .cfg you will be ok
Its when you carry out this stuff mid patrol you get problems
If you use SH3commander roll it back before doing any work

I

Cheers, I recently came back to playing SH3 after a long absence, so i'm a little out of touch. Thought I'd better make sure before I tried anything.
