After resetting this I was able to open this new RND file for a good look. While no doubt everything is a work in progress and we all have our own interpretation of historic events I can safely say this is hands down the best work done to date on the RND.mis file. This should be the basis for future efforts and be considered the bench mark. RUB is way behind on the RND file with a simple single ship spawn and report reduction while this customizes things and better represents the convoys we all love to hunt down.
But, I also have a view different views on what was done. This is not as much criticism but more suggestions to further a very good piece of work. I would now rather advise on this and tweak J885s efforts than continue making my own. His work is too well done and the error free program he made to construct this is paramount to the success of a nearly 6 MB text file that one mistake can ruin (trust me, I know) But; If you are going to ask people to add to the roster why do so just to add a few merchant flags. Why not finish the job all at once with corrected warships. Destroyers that were commissioned into the Dutch, Norwegian, Polish and Greek navies that were involved in historic events could just have easily been added here. The British transferred 2DDs ( B and E; What are included in the CClass in SH3), 2 Hunt II and 6 Flower class corvettes as well as commissioned directly 4 Hunt III to the Hellenic (Greek) navy to add to those warships that escaped the Nazi conquest of Hellas. They were heavily involved in escorting Med convoys as well as the invasions of Sicily and Italy and earned the respect and admiration of their allies. Same for the Dutch destroyers (did you know some served in the Med not just the Atlantic) with 2 N-Class DDs (included under the JClass in SH3) commissioned directly into the Dutch Navy. One River class (we don’t actually have a real River in SH3) and one Flower were transferred to the Dutch boys. Besides the later S-class DDs (not in SH3) Norway received 5 “Flush Deckers” from the US 1940-42, 2 Hunt III in 42, and a Hunt II in 44 and 6 flower class were in Norwegian service. The Poles received a G-class (CClass in SH3) and an N and an M (Included in SH3 as Jclass) as well as 3 Hunt II (one was lost off Malta!!!) By adding these DDs to the correct navies then placing them in the convoys they were likely to participate we add historic reality and we pay just a little tribute to those men that richly deserve it. The above ships fought with distinction and courage from all four nations. No destroyer could be called more heroic than the Greek Hunt III Adrias. Remember, when a British general said to Churchill “Those Greeks fight like heroes” Churchill replied; “My good sir, Greeks don’t fight like heroes, heroes fight like Greeks” Wulfmann ![]()
