Default Did I miss something?

Since I don't typically zoom in on enemy with external cam, basically just use watch DC explosions , sinkings guess never noticed this.

Noticed most escorts, DD etc in TMO have ALLIED personnel manning the DC racks lol not japanese sailors. Was it like this in stock? Seems like it was not. Also noticed a lot ships have Allied AA guns for some reason lol guess have to correct this(if can be)

Well, looking at the NDE_Momi.dat as an example, it has W01 and W02 on the fantail for depth charge mounts. They are pointed at by the eqp file as [Equipment 17] and [Equipment 18], both with a LinkName=DCRack_SH4, which is in the Library / ShipParts / asw.dat file. The animation characters are listed there as "#JP_SOL_MRN_01", so any ships that don't match that, will need to be altered in that regard. However, don't hit one of ones the US or Aussies use... Such as, looking at the Fletcher, it calls for the same DCRack_SH4, with its "#JP_SOL_MRN_01" listing... I'm not confused...

This has been fixed by me in FotRSU.

We have China, Thailand, Japan, all using JP gun calls in their eqp files, this includes the depth charges. Our JP depthchargers are called DCRack_SH4.

The allies including German units have depthcharges which are called DCRack_SH4_US, and are using non-JP guns of similar gun types, which will have the non-JP crews attached.

The DCRack_SH4_US was cloned from the DCRack_SH4, given new ID's and had the crews swapped around.

This way, all crews look right, but we have two units that are shared between the JP & GE, so I kept them as JP.

I have put all merchants as CIV crewmen also.

To be fair, I did not look at stock... I just did the clone and continued to stumbled forward.
